We work on methodology sprints and Luby Software has been executing on everything we proposed. They’ve been meeting every goal, and the product is working.

The project management is through a direct employee of ours, and we get reports every week about the progress of the project. Whenever there is an issue, they address it right away and they are really on top of facts. We never leave reviews for our vendors, but when they requested us we were quite happy. They’ve been doing phenomenal — we’re happy with their performance.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The most impressive aspect about Luby Software is their honesty. When you outsource a third-party company, honesty and transparency around billing along the way are greatly appreciated. We’ve grown tremendously as a company, and they’ve been able to sustain our needs as we grow.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing that they could improve. We’re extremely happy with everything they’ve done for us — they have to stay the same. 

Any advice for potential customers?

We manage our project management in-house, so I don’t know what it is like when they do the project management. I know that now they offer those services. However, we were very successful when managed by us. The goals and expectations were set up internally, and we utilized them for the execution. That has worked very well for us.
