Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Due to specific domain and tech requirements, we were struggling with the development of a web application for one of our clients. After consultation with the client, we decided to get external support, which we hired from L-One.

The scope was very specific: boost the knowledge of our team and thus enable us to co-deliver the project to the client's satisfaction. We were also interested in their experience around cloud and microservices to minimise running costs of the software in the long term.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

First and foremost, we delivered what we promised to our client. In considerable parts due to the remarkable know-how from the L-One Consultants.

Secondly, we could reduce our running cost by nearly 20%, which is a massive gain eventually.

It takes longer for programmers to familiarize themselves with topics for which they have no experience. This means that it is necessary to clarify in advance whether reference experience exists for certain topics. If not, then you have to be aware that the development time will be longer, as the people will also have to familiarize themselves.
