BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a department manager at a software company in the financial and energy industries. We primarily develop software for oil and gas reserve companies.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BEON.tech?

We needed help with staff augmentation.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BEON.tech provides us with a developer specialist in data engineering who follows our internal software development practices. He mostly works on software we have already developed, making enhancements to it. Still, he has also worked on some tasks completely from scratch. As for the technology stack, most of our work has been done in TypeScript and C#, and he has done some backend API work as well.

Although BEON.tech’s resource mostly focuses on development work, he has also provided us with input and ideas for software architecture. Additionally, he has free reign to design and architect his own solutions.

What is the team composition?

I work directly with the one resource that BEON.tech provides us with. They also provide us with more resources for other areas, but I don’t interact with them. In total, we work with around five people from their team. These resources include developers and 1–2 UI/UX designers.

How did you come to work with BEON.tech?

Our VP of software had a previous relationship with BEON.tech, so he contacted them when he started working for our company.

How much have you invested with them?

I’m unsure about BEON.tech standard rates because I’m not in charge of paying invoices. I estimate that we’ve spent between $50,000–$200,000 in total.

What is the status of this engagement?

I started working with the data engineer from BEON.tech by the end of April 2022, and our engagement is ongoing. However, their other resources might have started working for us before that.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

The resource that BEON.tech provide us with is very good. Thanks to him, we’ve been able to add new functionality to our API, and our clients are very excited about the enhancements we’ve done. As general feedback, the developer and the person who manages him from BEON.tech’s side have been great to work with. Moreover, the quality of their development work has been fantastic.

How did BEON.tech perform from a project management standpoint?

BEON.tech’s resource has been very responsive, and he has delivered on time. We’re very open to their suggestions as well. We communicate via Slack with the developer and via email with the BEON.tech management team. We also send the developer tasks through Jira and check his work through GitHub.

What did you find most impressive about them?

BEON.tech seems to really care about their employees. One time, I found out that our developer didn’t have an extra monitor, and he was working only with their laptop screen. Thus, I contacted his manager from BEON.tech and asked if they could provide him with a monitor, and they immediately took care of it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything they could improve on. BEON.tech has been extremely professional, and their development work has been fantastic.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

They’re an excellent company to work with — we’ll continue to work with them moving forward.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of a small company in the Energy Services business. Our platform and services run consumer-facing economic and emergency responsive demand programs.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BEON.tech?

BEON.tech has assisted in staffing for our mobile software product.

SOLUTION

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

We interviewed several nearshore companies and found the combination of value, talent, and demonstrated commitment and career development with their staff as a winner over the other companies.

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

At this point, they have delivered mobile developers as staff augmentation for new development through first launch to ongoing maintenance. In the case where we have had a staff member leave (because they immigrated to another country), BEON did a very good job of getting us a replacement in time and making sure that that person was trained as well as possible given the time constraints.

Describe the recruitment process in detail.

We discussed our needs with our contact at BEON and provided them a job description; they were able to quickly provide us a list of possible staff, with pre-screening in place. We performed our typical screening interviews as we normally do, and BEON completed the transaction in either hiring or simply assigning the staff to our contract.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

This has definitely allowed us to speed up our development process with quality staff. I see it as a way to save some costs but also to engage more recruiting to acquire great personnel to achieve outcomes faster.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have a remote workforce in various locations across the country; integrating BEON into our workflow has been seamless.

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

It is evident that they invest a lot in their staff. For example, they are bringing their software developers together for a training and mentoring event -- where most companies like BEON do not really engage with their staff outside of onboarding and offboarding.

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

I see no areas in need of improvement.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m an executive at a SaaS company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BEON Tech Studio?

We wanted to augment our staff for engineering tasks.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BEON Tech Studio has provided extra engineering resources for our custom software development needs. They start by interviewing us and learn the requirements we’re looking for in the engineers. After that, they come back to us with a list of candidates and their resumes. Consequently, we interview those candidates and hire those who fit our needs — that’s the recruiting process.

In addition, they help us write the job descriptions and prescreen — we mainly look for people with software startup experience and enthusiastic personality towards the work.

What is the team composition?

We’ve been working with 4–5 members of their team, including a project manager, an executive sponsor, and a couple of developers.

How did you come to work with BEON Tech Studio?

They reached out to us.

How much money have you invested in this partnership?

So far, we’ve spent around $500,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in March 2021, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The resources that they’ve provided have exceeded our expectations, and our team likes working with them. We feel like they’re part of our core team due to their great performance.

How did BEON Tech Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management has been aligned with our expectations; they stay within our budget and handle everything via Jira and Asana. Regarding communication, we use Google Meet.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The quality of the candidates they provide is outstanding. They’re also willing to work with us on our special requirements and projects — they’re a responsive team.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on — BEON Tech Studio is a great partner.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Ensure to develop a relationship with the manager they assign you because they’re very helpful in getting you through the recruiting process and the general resources management.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We are a behavioral health, practice management solution. I am SVP of Engineering.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire BEON Tech Studio, and what were your goals?

We are a rapidly growing business always on the lookout for top engineering talent to help tackle our ambitious product roadmap. We have a distinct culture centered around our mission and wanted to bring on additional fullstack engineers who could blend well into our existing teams.

SOLUTION

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

I wanted to expand operations into LatAm and needed a vendor we could trust who valued a great customer experience and high quality development. We also wanted a vendor who treated their engineers with the same level of respect and trust we value. We felt this vendor had the most similarity to our company values.

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

Very large, high traffic Ruby on Rails environment paired with EmberJS.

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

4 fullstack engineers so far.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

So far we continue to be impressed with the high quality of the developers and quick onboarding into our environment and codebase.

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

We're happy because we've been giving the ability to onboard these team members into our environment the way that works for us. The vendor reaches out frequently to make sure things are going well. They have been more than willing to integrate with our communication tools.

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

They've gone to pains to understand our culture and hiring processes well. They take feedback and are constantly incorporating it into their day to day interactions with us.

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

Not at this time.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the COO of Protoqual, a healthcare startup. Our software platform goes into outpatient medical offices and allows them to survey their patients and educate their staff based on the findings in those surveys to improve our patient experience.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BEON Tech Studio?

We’ve tried a number of approaches to our software development solution. We have a very specific set of needs, but we don't have the resources to build an entire technology team in-house.

We needed to find an outsourced solution that would enable us to build the products that we needed within the budget and the time constraints that we had.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We already had a rough prototype of our software with a different developer partner. We were already testing it in offices, but there were still a lot of things we wanted to change. We hired BEON Tech Studio to build the second version of our software from scratch. They helped us do everything involved with creating the new version of the platform, including backend, database, and design work.

What is the team composition?

We found BEON Tech Studio through online research.

How did you come to work with BEON Tech Studio?

We’ve worked with two project managers and three full-time developers from BEON Tech Studio.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $180,000–$200,000 so far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in October 2018, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We’re currently preparing to deploy the new version of our software to medical offices, so we still don’t have any metrics or user feedback just yet. However, we can now demo the system more confidently as it performs more seamlessly and efficiently compared to our previous one.

Before working with BEON Tech Studio, we only had one large client. Now, we have two new large clients, and we’ve noticed growing interest from many prospective clients. So I’d say that the biggest measure of success has been the opportunity for us to get more clients faster than before.

How did BEON Tech Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

BEON Tech Studio has performed outstandingly well in terms of project management. They’re really great at communicating — I’d say it’s one of the biggest differences that I’ve noticed in working with them versus other third-party providers. The second we reach out about something, there's an immediate response from them. We communicate every day, and we have a very robust back and forth on our Slack channel.

Overall, they’re a very well-functioning team.  They make everything really simple, and we don't need to devote a tremendous amount of manpower for oversight and management because they handle a lot of that stuff really well.

We primarily communicate with them through Slack, and we also have regular stand-up meetings and planning sessions every week.

What did you find most impressive about them?

One of the main reasons why we chose BEON Tech Studio was because they really devoted a lot of energy into finding the best developers for our project. I know this based on the quality of the product that they’ve produced. It’s hard to describe without a demo, but what they have built runs so much more beautifully and elegantly than our previous system. We feel like have a product built as if we're a billion-dollar company, and I feel like they deserve a lot of the credit for that because I can’t imagine that we could get the same caliber of product with another company.

Even as we grow, my preference will be to handle our development through BEON Tech Studio as opposed to even an in-house option because the quality of their developers is really extraordinary. They're great communicators and really talented builders. It's probably going to be a long time until that until we decide to hire in-house just because we've had so much success with BEON Tech Studio.

Are there any areas they could improve?

One thing where we all improve as a group is establishing more metrics for evaluating velocity. They're moving quickly, and we've been happy with their pace, but I wish we could establish a way to determine how long things might take so we could check against them after all the work is done.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the VP of software engineering, and we’re a software company that provides software for arts and cultural organizations in predominantly English-speaking countries around the world. The company is fully distributed so we all work remotely.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BEON Tech Studio?

We were trying to augment our software engineering team with developers.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

We had an initial call where we talked about our needs and what projects we were working on. We also described the skillset of the engineers that we needed. From there, BEON Tech Studio sourced engineers. They screened them technically, too.

On top of that, we had an opportunity to do a technical screening and a team interview with them. From there, they made hires based on our recommendations. Two software engineers are currently working with us, and they use C#, .NET, and Angular.

What is the team composition?

We’re working with two software engineers.

How did you come to work with BEON Tech Studio?

We received a cold call from them, and they just happened to reach out at a time when we were looking to step up. We also evaluated them against a few other firms and decided to try an engagement with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $60,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We began our partnership in May 2021, and we continue to collaborate.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement? 

We measure their success based on their ability to integrate with the team. In that regard, they’ve integrated themselves really well. In fact, they’re able to pick up and participate in any project that’s part of the broader software development initiative. They’ve also adopted domain knowledge of our platform, and they’re completing work at the same rate as our software engineers.

How did BEON Tech Studio perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been great from a project management standpoint. We use Jira as our project management tool, and we communicate through Zoom.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed by their sourcing process and the way that they’ve been able to communicate possible candidates for our team and the way they let us vet them. They’ve been very collaborative in that process — helping us find engineers that are really a good match for our team culture and skillset.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be really clear about what you’re looking for so they can find somebody who’s a good match. You need to know exactly the type of engineer and the personalities that you’re looking to bring out of the team so that they can do their job well.
