OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

We have an ongoing requirement for design and media services from Teko and have used their services for years and will continue to do so. We have had internal web systems designed and put together by them and have referred many happy clients to their services.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted a seamless integration with our custom back-end, allowing for an easy to use system without sacrificing visual quality.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Our team engaged with Teko years ago and from much satisfaction, continued to engage in business with them. We have engaged with other parties in the past but were never satisfied to the level we are with Teko.

Describe the project in detail.

The initial project was scoped by myself and communicated to the team. From there it was reformed many times to get it to the point it was at delivery. We have had similar processes with clients that we refer, an initial scope is made, and reformed with much help and guidance from Teko to ensure all objectives are made.

What was the team composition?

In our instance, the backend was made customised in-house, we only required design and streamlining services from Teko, of which was extremely easy to communicate requirements and get the job done. This was all resourced through the project lead at Teko.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We have had great success using the internal system, however, we do not record tangible gains with the system as it is not necessary.

We never have any issue with communication, the team at Teko make it a walk in the park to communicate requirements and any changes.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Teko is able to achieve great results in a small time frame. Their prompt delivery made the remainder of the internal process for implementation a breeze; by being ahead of the timeline, we had more time to spend on the internal matters.

Are there any areas for improvement?

More regular updates on the progress of projects are always great, however, like most companies we all get busy, so the amount of communication is understandable and we have just come to understand that the project is still proceeding.
