In terms of results, could you share any statistics, metrics, or anecdotal feedback that would demonstrate the effectiveness of the work they’ve delivered?
We really don’t have any statistics or figures at this point because we haven’t launched our site yet. The development process itself has gone very well, though. They produce meticulous code with great efficiency.
When working with Achieve Internet, is there anything you would consider unique or special about their approach, methodology or services that differentiates them from other vendors you’ve worked with?
They have deep expertise when it comes to both technology and media. Their location for us is also a huge factor. Their ability to engage in agile development is quite impressive, and is definitely the reason for their high quality code. They also have a great track record with third-party integrations of various sizes and complexities. These factors combined make them an excellent technology partner for our endeavor.
In retrospect, are there areas you think that they could improve upon, or are there certain things you might do differently as the client before initiating this type of project?
I think the only thing that they could ever improve upon is just their ability to scale up and down with changing requirements and priorities. I’ve had challenges with them in that area, but I don’t think it’s every significantly impacted the quality of work delivered, only the timing of the delivery itself. For a company as small and fragile as ours, having that rapid response and scalability is crucial. They’ve definitely improved in time though.
Achieve Internet worked efficiently and produced an excellent product. Throughout the project, they collaborated with video and satellite broadcasters to provide backend content. The developers showed great skill in agile development, solid code writing, and third-party integration.
