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

One potential area for improvement for Aegas could be to ensure that they are effectively communicating the results and insights gained from their data analytics efforts for our site, but this service/feature was offered yet not paid for initially so this is our fault at the end of the day. We just wished they pushed this extra service a bit more knowing every client should be empowered by their own data! 
This could involve implementing regular reporting and updates on key metrics and findings, as well as providing training and support for our employees to better understand and utilize data-driven insights in our decision-making processes. Note - knowing our folly, we’re currently in discussions to implement this with Aegas

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the CTO of Intersys AG. Our company is one of the top providers of custom software in Switzerland. For 20 years, we have been implementing customer-specific software solutions with great success and providing IT services for demanding business customers.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Aegas, and what were your goals?

Our collaboration with Aegas started with one of our projects, where Aegas Frontend developers participated as a dedicated development team in extension to our capacities. Aegas has proven good performance, we got to know each other better and continued our collaboration on multiple projects more. Aegas provided us Frontend, Backend, Mobile, UI / UX Design, MVP / Proof of Concept development services. They worked with us both on a fully outsourced basis and as tightly integrated into our team.

SOLUTION

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

Aegas has been recommend to us by another software company in Switzerland. Instead of a complex and long evaluation phase, we prefered to directly go for a commun proof of concept: We asked Aegas to implement a small, but demanding project in the field of augmented reality and were satisfied with the results delivered.

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

One of our recent projects together included participation of 2 development teams from Intersys and Aegas development team. It was an interesting international experience for everybody, as there were people from Switzerland, Germany and Ukraine working together. The project was a complex custom web application gathering and aggregating real time data and providing possibilities to store and work with the data conveniently through a web interface.

Aegas provided Backend development services with Java / Spring stack and Frontend services with Angular stack. Aegas also provided web application UI design services. Their team was curated by a delivery manager integrated into the team. We used SCRUM project development methodology, Aegas was actively involved in the development process and SCRUM events. At a certain point of the project Aegas delivery manager fulfilled the role of SCRUM master for our teams as well.

Aegas team was always available in case something needed to be done, they were online late and on weekends and vacations in case of urgency.

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

Teams and people varied from project to project, we worked with up to 10 developers from Aegas, and we are constantly in touch with their management on a weekly basis.

In both scenarios they treat deadlines and customer needs seriously, and they are willing to work hard to achieve the best outcomes possible that strengthen our collaboration. We regularly communicate in Microsoft Teams, before that we used Slack for communication.

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

Aegas team is much younger than ours, but they have the expected technical expertise and we find the common ground and understand each others’ needs quite well. They bring in fresh ideas about new technologies, tools and different ways of problem solving which we appreciate very much.

We keep constant and open dialog with Aegas, and if there is something to improve about our collaboration, Aegas always takes it into account and works on it.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Aegas, and what were your goals?

The aim was to create front-end and mobile applications for the Arabic version of the Hepsiburada marketplace that would allow users to have a better and more convenient experience on the platform. The aggravating factor was the tight deadline (3 weeks) and the customer's high demand for performance and security.

SOLUTION

How did you select Aegas and what were the deciding factors?

They were recommended by a mutual acquaintance who spoke well of the company and the team in particular. Deciding factors were speed and quality of work, as well as attention to detail and the ability to work with other teams on the project.

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

It all started with an initial kick-off call with the customer, where the Aegas was introduced, and the customer had the opportunity to get to know each specialist personally and learn more about each one. After receiving the details and technical documentation, the direct work on the project and communication with the team via Slack started.

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

The Aegas team consisted of twelve specialists - 2 front-end and 10 mobile developers.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

I can describe the communication and management style in three words - fast, flexible, and straightforward. The specialists gave feedback on time and fully disclosed the answers to our questions.

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

I was pleasantly surprised that the team acted very quickly and sometimes seemed to 'anticipate' the client's wishes, giving a very high level of support and understanding of the product.

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

There is nothing critical I can advise on.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the Founder and Managing Director of Africa Wilderness Journeys, which rovides private & customized safari experiences throughout Africa & The Indian Ocean. Inspired by gold-star standards, AWJ is committed to assuring every aspect of each experience is unparalleled for every one of our guests.

AWJ offers two simple travel options for your experience. Escorted trips are an unparalleled experience as they are personally handled, arranged, and guided by myself.

Unescorted trips are tailored trips expertly arranged by one of our staff. We handle the entire process: from the moment the guest expresses interest to once their ideal itinerary is finalized; from the moment they step into the country through the day they depart; from the realization that their trip has left an impact on them that they'll want to come back in a heartbeat.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Aegas, and what were your goals?

Objective was to build a modern website and consider additional solutions that give our clients a better understanding what we do and enchance their experience online to increase our leads/conversions/visibility. 

Initially, Aegas was engaged to redo our website. Within scope and under budget, Aegas rapidly delivered a custom built site with creative interfaces, robust media and content features, as well as standard and unique analytic tools.

With the remaining budget, they integrated a trip planning tool for boosting client leads through user experience optimization. Currently they are under a new contract which is integrating a custom built CRM/ERP tool which acts as a support suite for AWJ's full lifecycle of business processes (marketing, sales, operations, system adminstration).

SOLUTION

How did you select Aegas and what were the deciding factors?

We were introduced to Aegas by a mutual contact.  The deciding factor was based in trust in this contact reference and agreement to continue engagement was benchmarked on small deliverables if once completed to satisfaction.

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

AWJ approached Aegas to initially revise our website. Aegas designed the UI of a website from scratch and directed the development process from the user flows to the designs’ execution. Aegas provided ideas and solutions that generate a significant amount of increase in website traffic and enhanced user engagement.

The Aegas team led and managed the entire project lifecycle and understood the requirements and objectives quickly to develop appropriate workflow.

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

My interaction has been almost entirely been with the Project Manager, Lidiya and occassionally with the executive leadership to ensure things are going well on the project. 

Otherwise, according to the contract documentation provided by Aegas, their team consists of the following functions, which I imagine their involvement would vary depending on which of the three core parts of the project they performed work to support: Project Manager, Technical management, Lead Designer, Designer, HTML coder, Front-end Developer, Back-end Developer, DevOps

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

I’ve already seen tangible results. The website has a better user experience and after using the different tools they integrated into my ability to monitor and track website traffic which has improved by over 1000% from what it was initially.

Furthermore, the trip planning tool they incorporated into the website has generated at least half a dozen new client prospects for new clients, trips combined are currently valued at more than $150,000!

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

Communication with Aegas is really easy, I can reach any one of their contacts whenever I have a question. They complete work on time and exceed expectations. They continue to do a great job from a project management standpoint

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

I've been very impressed with the evolution of our partnership and the maturity of such a group of young and dedicated experts. Their skills are always improving, and they are always open to new challenges and requests.

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

I have no real criticisms for Aegas. Even when there are miscommunications on a project, the Aegas team always acts professional and responsive in resolving any issues.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

I advise future clients to trust them and to have a good idea of what needs they have and take the time for them to understand. Once that happens, Aegas will deliver to clients the results they need as well as the solutions they never knew would exist.
