**The Review** — Feb 24, 2023

**Feedback Summary**: Zitec is able to streamline and centralize the client's app and significantly reduce contract generation time. The team was highly receptive to process and feedback, and internal stakeholders praise the vendor's communication skills.
""The software that the team continues to develop provides us with more time, efficiency, and agility.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and your position there.

Pegasus Legal Capital is a New York-based financial institution providing settlement advances to cover lawsuit spending for different personal injury cases. I am Alexander Khanas, Principal at Pegasus Legal Capital.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
For what projects/services did your company hire Zitec, and what were your goals?

We started the collaboration by discussing the issues our teams encountered in their day-to-day activity. The purpose was to see how software development and business process automation expertise could digitally transform the business, resulting in lower operating costs and more streamlined and automated processes.

Together, we decided that the initial focus should be on the lead generation and management process, as we were seeing a substantial influx of new leads, and using a generic CRM was no longer a viable option to handle them.

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

We found them through a referral of another similar software model project in California.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

We chose Zitec as our partner right from the get-go, because they were able to understand and translate our business needs into practical and engaging software.

Although this was their first interaction with a legal funding company, they realized that this is a very competitive business and that time is our most important asset.

The software that the team continues to develop provides us with more time, efficiency, and agility in the end. One of the projects developed by Zitec is a PHP custom-built platform (known as Orion) which automated the lead intake activities, contract generation, and signing (via digital signatures).

Another functionality is the reporting and decision-making module, supporting managers to act swiftly on real-time information.

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

Over 10 (designers, developers, managers, etc.)

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

Lead generation and management data was centralized in a single software application (down from 4 tools)
	Contract generation time was reduced by over 30 times to less than 30 seconds
	The digital signing of contracts increased from less than 10% of all contracts to over 50%. Each contract signed digitally has a turn-around time of several hours vs. several days for paper-based contracts
	By building Orion on top of Microsoft Azure, we were able to comply with new, strict security policies and have a highly available and scalable foundation.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

One goal for the project’s first stage was to build a solid technical foundation that can act as a catalyst for the transition of Pegasus from a financial services company using technology as an add-on to existing processes to a company built around technology, a true FinTech.

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

We're impressed with their communication skills.

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

I can't think of anything they need to improve on.

**The Review** — Sep 26, 2022

**Feedback Summary**: Zitec helped the client create the first platform in Romania that would manage, verify, and guarantee reliable digital identities. Their team used various project management approaches, such as scrum, kanban, and a hybrid of both. They also communicated with the client via Microsoft Teams and Jira.
""We had direct access to the whole team, which made it easier to communicate our ideas.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and your position there.

certSIGN is the main developer and provider of cryptographic solutions and trust services in Romania, with projects in the field of digital identity, trust services, legal archiving, and cyber security in over 20 countries.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
For what projects/services did your company hire Zitec, and what were your goals?

One of our core business focus is on digital identity. As cloud computing use is growing, we witness an identity shift - from the physical ID card to digital identity.

We were looking to develop a solution that encompasses all attributes that uniquely identifies a user, includes their identity in social media/networking, and allows for securely authentication to various online services, including government or banking. We also wanted to take it one step further, to identity decentralization, where the end-user is better protected against identity theft. This is why we teamed up with Zitec, to leverage their blockchain expertise and develop the first service in Romania that guarantees blockchain identity, certME.

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

Zitec provided engineers to certSIGN to develop a distributed application that runs on an Ethereum-based private blockchain, enabling users to perform trusted digital onboarding on their mobile devices with supported online service providers.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

It’s 100% online, with many services - from banking to utilities - that are accessible anytime and anywhere, directly from the user’s phone. The personal data of certME users is stored encrypted only on their mobile devices. The blockchain is used to record proofs of verification of the user's identity.

As a result, users are guaranteed that their data cannot be accessed without their consent, and the complete record of access to their data is transparent and anonymous on the blockchain. On the other hand, service providers are guaranteed that the data received from users is valid and that their identity has been verified with a substantial level of assurance.

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

1 Blockchain & Mobile Engineer
	1 Android Engineer
	2 iOS Engineers
	2 Quality Assurance Engineers
	1 Software Engineer


**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

certME is the first solution in Romania that allows the management, verification, and guarantee of reliable digital identities, with clear benefits for users who no longer waste time traveling to the supplier’s headquarters and enjoy a digital experience in accessing a wide range of services 100% online.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

We used various approaches in different stages of product development including scrum, kanban and hybrids thereof. We used MS Teams to communicate and coordinate and Jira to track development.

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

We had direct access to the whole team, which made it easier to communicate our ideas. Things can be lost in translation if you're only talking to a project manager.

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

While the most senior developers show imitative and independence, the less experienced developers sometimes need closer guidance.

**The Review** — Aug 31, 2022

**Feedback Summary**: Zitec (Formerly Equilobe Software) completed and delivered the project on time, which met the client's development expectations. They had a smooth workflow using GitHub and AWS for the test environment, and communicated via Slack and Zoom during the engagement. Their efforts in going the extra mile were notable.
""They went out of their way to find the best technical solutions while keeping the project deadline in mind.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and your position there.I'm the managing partner of an ISV. We develop custom financial and financial-adjacent software for the private and public sector.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
For what projects/services did your company hire Equilobe Software, and what were your goals?We won a bid to implement a supplier contract management platform for a client in the public sector. Our small team needed to be augmented in order to deliver the submitted software product within the time and monetary budget offered. As a result we hired Equilobe to provide a small development team of highly experienced developers that would work on certain aspects of the software product alongside us.

**SOLUTION**
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?The decision was made based on previous experience of them doing light consulting work and knowing the caliber of their developers and their excellent work ethic. Because of this, we were confident that they were a good fit given especially the time constraints of the project.Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.Based on the draft SRS provided by us and which we finalized together, they developed several modules of the application (data processing, messaging, notifications, events calendar, document uploads, custom document fields management), using .NET Core for the back-end, SQL Server and very complex audit triggers for the data storage and VueJS for the frontend. We settled on a scrum methodology, and the project elements developed by them were done in 6 two-week sprints.At the end, we also set aside one week for importing data provided by the client in the new system and tweaking after the go-live. Currently the system is still in use in almost exactly the initially-delivered form, with very little ulterior tweaking done by us as we are the support provider for the final client.How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?There were three people in the vendor's team, one senior and one mid-level developer and one part-time team supervisor.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?We were able to go live without any incidents and on time, which was the principal requirement. There were no ulterior issues with the system, it worked as per requirements and has helped the client engage multiple departments in the contract management workflows, eliminating situations where contracts were in danger of expiring or going over the allocated time and financial budgets. The new system also helped the final client with preparing complex audit reports regarding their ongoing contracts.Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.Project management went smoothly, the team was very self-organized and any possible issues were communicated ahead of time. Because of the pandemic, we only communicated remotely, using Slack and Zoom. Development was done on GitHub and AWS for the test environment.What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?Very self-motivated and self-organizing team, and also quite excellent technical level on their end. They went out of their way to find the best technical solutions while keeping the project deadline in mind.Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?Documenting design decisions, which we had to deliver to the final client alongside the source code, was something their team was not accustomed to and they had to figure it out on the fly, which caused a bit of friction initially.

#### Cloud Consulting for VR Cycling Simulator Company
**The Project**
- Services: Cloud Consulting & SI
- Project size: Less than $10,000
- Project length: Aug. 2020 - Jan. 2021

**Project Summary**: Zitec provided cloud consulting for a VR cycling simulator company. They helped the company migrate AWS into Google Cloud infrastructure, simultaneously changing the platform’s backend for stability.

- Review Type: Online Review

**The Review** — Sep 22, 2021

**Feedback Summary**: As a result of the partnership, the company’s new infrastructure enabled future development, particularly the integration of Google Stadia, Google Maps, and analytics capabilities. Zitec effectively attended meetings, clarifying each process. Overall, they worked independently without much downtime.
""We were impressed with their expertise in cloud infrastructure.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and your position there.

RGT Cycling is a virtual reality cycling simulator available for PC, Mac, and Apple TV. It is used in conjunction with iOS and Android Apps and supported training hardware. Users worldwide can Go Beyond and connect, ride, race, and train together in a virtual reality that recreates the captivating culture of real-world cycling. Role: Head of Operations

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
For what projects/services did your company hire Zitec?

Our goal was to migrate from Amazon to the Google Cloud infrastructure, while at the same time making significant changes in our back-end infrastructure that would optimize use of resources and significantly improve stability.

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

Zitec is a recognized, respected custom software development and digital marketing services company in the tech community in Romania, and we already knew they have deep technical knowledge of all cloud options. We felt that working with Zitec would both speed up the process, as well as accelerated learning in our own team.

Describe the project in detail and walk through the stages of the project.

In the migration phase, Zitec engineers first prepared the project’s structure, taking into account the recommendations from Google Cloud security foundations guide. Next, the development environment was provisioned using Terraform (for infrastructure) and Ansible (for configuration and deployments), backed by Gitlab CI where new CI/CD pipelines were being implemented in order to trigger the jobs.

Even if the applications were already containerized, Zitec reshaped the way to do it in order to automatically build on Gitlab CI every image, using triggers like merge request events or new pushes on master.

From a security point of view, Zitec promoted and implemented the existing GCP capabilities: IAP to control the HTTP(s) and SSH access to various resources from the dev environment and eliminate the need of a VPN connection OS Login for SSH control Container Analysis to scan for vulnerabilities all the Docker images OS Config to collect and review operating system information, especially for the packages with security updates available.

Being an “improve & move” migration that touched a lot of components, Zitec decided to minimize the number of components reworked during this phase and adopted only a few managed services, such as Cloud SQL, Cloud Memorystore and Cloud Storage. The containerized applications were deployed on Compute Engines using both types of instance groups, unmanaged or managed with auto scaling enabled.

In a second phase, the plan is to move all the components from Compute Engine to Cloud Run or in a GKE cluster. Other GCP services in use were Operations for Monitoring & Logging, Global LB with premium network for decreased latency, and Transfer Service to move the static data from AWS S3 to GCP Storage. When the production environment was ready and tested by the customer, the switchover to GCP was executed with a short period of downtime required only to sync the database.

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

The implementation team consisted of two DevOps engineers from Zitec's part.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

In addition to supporting growing volumes at lower costs, the RGT Cycling infrastructure now allows for the company's future development plans to include integrations with services like Google Stadia, Google Maps, and analytics capabilities.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Very effective: meetings went straight to the point, clarifying next steps and allowing each team to work well independently, without too much “down-time” while waiting for deliverable from the other team.

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

We were impressed with their expertise in cloud infrastructure. The ease in proposing practical solutions we would not have thought about.

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

None that we can think of.

The team's ability to anticipate difficulties and deep understanding of the client's urgency and goals was a highlight of the engagement. Their no-nonsense approach also stood out.
""What Zitec brought to the project was far more valuable and cost-effective than anything we could have pulled together on our own.""

**BACKGROUND**
Please describe your company and position. I am the CEO of a financial services company Describe what your company does in a single sentence.We are a financial institution, licensed by the National Bank of Romania, providing payment processing services for online transactions through traditional and alternative payment methods. Our platform enables processing payments in any currency, from customers all over Europe, through virtually any payment method.

**OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE**
What specific goals or objectives did you hire Zitec to accomplish?Our main goal was to build a blockchain-enabled robust and scalable cybersecurity compliant neobanking system that would instill regulatory and market confidence. This system would allow non-custodial crypto wallet holders to use crypto money to make payments within one banking system and one app, enriching their experience further.

**SOLUTION**
How did you find Zitec?Online SearchReferralOtherWhy did you select Zitec over others?Close to my geographic locationPricing fit our budgetGood value for costHow many teammates from Zitec were assigned to this project?6-10 EmployeesDescribe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.Due to crypto’s volatility, the advancement of blockchain and the anticipation of new EU regulations, we had to capitalize on a first-mover advantage and build a credible, enterprise-grade banking product. This proved to be rather complicated to define as the product had no precedents in Europe, while market and industry indicators were less than encouraging. At the time, everything associated with blockchain and crypto had a bad reputation with close to zero chances of generating regulatory confidence. It was crucial to demonstrate to the national banking authority that everything was above board. Secondly, because the product would be the first of its kind, there was no way to accurately estimate how long it would take to build, much less prove its secure and reliable viability on paper to obtain approvals. The third challenge and by far the most complicated, was to build a cohesive and collaborative team to make it happen. Developing and integrating the different parts into building a core digital banking system was hard enough. Add the integration of blockchain crypto systems, new physical and virtual card issuance and management systems, and combine all that with security, regulatory and operational compliance, anything that could go wrong very quickly multiplies. In fact, at any one time during the different project phases, eight to ten service providers were involved, each with their own internal and technical teams, and their own way of doing.

**RESULTS & FEEDBACK**
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?We decided to build an MVP (minimum viable product) blockchain-enabled neobank pilot that would demonstrate to the national authorities its integral viability to facilitate high-volume transactions and move money around in crypto and fiat money.The system was built on purpose to not create a different result even when it received repetitive signals or actions. This prevented double charging a consumer or duplicating payments to a merchant. In parallel, the system had to be able to handle transaction volumes that might fluctuate and surge under millions of active users within seconds. Any round-the-clock, high-volume, and highly regulated type of online transactions needed to ensure systems resilience for this, and for withstanding downtimes or cybersecurity threats. Zitec worked hand in hand with us to manage the different integrations and build necessary workarounds, particularly in three strategic areas to keep the project on track:System Integrations, Simulations and TestingEnsuring Digital Layers Serve the BusinessMeeting Regulatory DemandsDescribe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?What Zitec brought to the project was far more valuable and cost-effective than anything we could have pulled together on our own. It wasn’t just programming skills we needed, but tech consulting capabilities,  infrastructure competencies, product management and testing, as well as a ready, mature and experienced team who understood our urgency without unrealistic promises. From firsthand experience, full control and anticipation of difficulties that arise in a high-stakes project are near impossible. The discrepancies between the initial proposal and implementation tend to show up at the worst moments. Zitec understood this and made their role part of our solution as much as being our service partner. What they built has become a cybersecurity compliant backbone that our internal teams can take full control of and confidently scale to grow our neobanking business. What was your primary form of communication with Zitec?Virtual MeetingEmail or Messaging AppIn-Person MeetingWhat did you find most impressive or unique about this company?We chose Zitec for their people, their no-nonsense approach and their team’s technical maturity in dealing with a complex high-stakes project. They employ enterprise-grade standards, processes and frameworks that ensure on-time and on-target delivery, as well as post launch resilience and scalability.  Are there any areas for improvement or something Zitec could have done differently?Nothing
