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

There are a lot of different requirements in our clients environment distributed on several projects. Part of all projects was e. g. cloud development (GCP), implementing of microservices, development of algorithms and machine learning models, implementation of real-time data pipelines and many more. Nebula has provided the right candidates based on the clients requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

scaling of the time size, extending contracts, entering more clients, building up a reliable and trustworthy partnership

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

All my requirements are fulfilled directly and on time. Nebula is supportive and reachable. In case of any new requirement, adjustment or concern I can directly reach out to Nebula to find the best possible solution for me and our common clients. 

Even during smaller crisis (e. g. layoffs due to budget cuts) our relationship is still full of respect and Nebula is flexible to give a fair response and a way to deal with any challenge. In terms of project organization within the clients projects, all colleagues/developers/engineers are supportive and helping each other to keep the quality and therefor the client satisfation high.

What was your primary form of communication with Nebula?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

I really appreciate, our collaboration is characterized by trust, reliability, and transparency. It is always a pleasure to meet with the guys to speak and think over a wide variety of topics. Since we share a common vision and same values, we can align our strategy to fulfill our common clients needs and requirements. We can use our synergies to keep our both companies growing. 

The management of Nebula is communicative and reliable and they always strive to find a quick solution in the sense of me and/or our common clients. The management (and of course the guys within the projects) have a broad technical and professional knowledge and support me and my clients in finding the right people for our projects.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Nebula could have done differently?

I'm really satisfied and happy with the current situation. A challenge could be the communication loop within the daily work between developer, client, Nebula and proxeedo. Whilst we are aligning on management level, there might be a lack of insights or information about what is happening between developer and client in the project. 

Since we are working with individuals, there might be a different understanding of communication. (However, this is a general challenge when working with remote people and without deep insights into the project)

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

The International Antidepressant Withdrawal Project was created in 2011 by people from several countries to provide essential health information and support in five different languages. In addition to written information and videos, a discussion forum was staffed that provided daily feedback on health problems and coping with severe distress. It was the only such discussion forum for Polish and Dutch speakers. It is now an archive of valuable accumulated data and first-hand experiences related to this specific health problem. I am a Co-Founder and the Administrator.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Nebula Cloud Solutions?

We hired them to migrate our legacy software (website and forum) to the cloud and optimize them to increase performance.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

I was referred to them by Linode because Nebula could handle some unique features of the migration and the price was reasonable for this smaller project.

Describe the project in detail and walk through their service package.

At first, we had an initial meeting where we discussed the requirements of the project. After that, the team from Nebula started the migration and migrated everything to the cloud. They provided us with a staging link (not the production) to the migrated software so we could check that everything was working as intended. After our confirmation, they switched the production domain to work on the new cloud infrastructure.

How many resources from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Unknown. I personally only worked directly with the Managing Partner.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

The migrated site worked perfectly, including a large discussion forum. Some functions were even improved over the old version of the site. Traffic to the site immediately increased substantially. This was totally surprising, and not even something I had expected.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We had one international phone call followed by frequent emails to discuss details. Communication with them was prompt, responsive to all my concerns, very courteous, very clear, and straightforward. We were able to solve any problems and complete the migration quickly and smoothly.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Managing Partner Ilija Ivanovski is a diligent, sincere person to work with. Nebula Cloud Solutions cared about the client's satisfaction and was creative and willing to go the extra mile.

Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?

No. I will definitely go back to Nebula as I develop any future projects.
