AllianceTek

What was the scope of their involvement?

We partnered with AllianceTek to renovate our access database system. We’re not the most tech-savvy, so we created basic mock-ups of what we wanted in Microsoft Paint and Excel. Their first task was adding a quoting module on the frontend and building a scheduling module on the backend. Our client files were already alphabetically stored in the previous system, so they used the existing data to populate the names of our customers as we type into the database. They also built a tool to enhance our operations work order process. With this module, we are now able to print special forms with a simple click. Once the integrations were finished, they rewrote the entire program and converted the platform to SQL with a web-based Backbone.js framework. It was an iterative process, so they continued to tweak the platform until we were completely satisfied. 

What is the team composition?

The first person that we encountered was a sales representative who listened to our project idea and prepared an accurate quote. After establishing our scope of work, we started working with one of their project managers. There was a larger development team working on our account, but we only interacted with our designated points of contact.

How did you come to work with AllianceTek?

We found them while searching for vendors online. They were one of very few companies who knew how to build a completely proprietary system that wasn’t integrated with a third-party CRM platform.

How much have you invested with them?

The project called for three separate engagements, which cost between $50,000 – $80,000 for each phase.

What is the status of this engagement?

AllianceTek has been working with us since May 2015.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We relied on AllianceTek to provide .NET development services to help support and maintain our tax notice workflow application, which allows corporations to manage their tax notices worldwide.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–3 people.

How did you come to work with AllianceTek?

I learned of them through online research. We hired them because of their knowledge, location, and the kinds of resources they could commit to the project.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent approximately $250,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from September 2016–December 2018.

What was the scope of their involvement?

AllianceTek built out players that help us provide video and text-based content for our programs. They used .NET for development, and they continue to make adjustments to the code when our client requests any changes. 

Our programs fall under two major types: the first website is more anonymous and redirects our users to other providers to receive their certificate, while the second website has a login portal and lets us maintain the user information and issue a continuing medical education certificate. AllianceTek also hosts our server.

What is the team composition?

I mostly work with our project manager Christopher, but I've also interacted with their developers.

How did you come to work with AllianceTek?

The relationship had started before I joined the company.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent between $50,000–$100,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with them in 2009, and the relationship is ongoing.

What was the scope of their involvement?

AllianceTek developed applications that organized our current SharePoint document repository. They also created some custom code that enables us to search through and identify specific documents easily. The apps were made from scratch, so we worked together to engineer a solution. Their implementations helped eliminate slowness in our existing processes.

New features include the ability to search through different directories and years using SharePoint. We can search an entire SharePoint website based on specific keyword information. As a result, our internal data is more direct and accessible.

What is the team composition?

They allocated 2–3 resources to our account. That includes a project manager and developers.

How did you come to work with AllianceTek?

I work for another company that has worked with AllianceTek in the past. So, I reached out to them and outlined what we were hoping to accomplish with this project. I considered a few other companies but ultimately found AllianceTek to be the most knowledgeable firm we spoke too.

How much have you invested with them?

We've spent roughly $10,000–$50,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2015, and the engagement is ongoing. The solution has been delivered, but they still provide system maintenance regularly.
