The Review
Feedback summary: 

The time-sensitive project was completed within the required time, ensuring the company didn’t lose a crucial revenue stream. The team is skilled, professional, and excellent at what they do, working seamlessly alongside the in-house team.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

We deliver solutions to help modernize legacy systems and migrate to newer platforms. I was the CTO during the project.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CINQ Technologies?

We needed to expand our software development organization in order to help us catch up on projects that were lagging behind or needed updates.

What were your goals for this project?

To migrate an antiquated Applet-based application and switch it to a modern web-based application.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I’d worked with them in the past, so I already knew the quality of their people and deliverables. Time was important in this project, and the quality of the deliverables couldn’t suffer, so CINQ was a perfect choice.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

We need to remove legacy integration using Java Applet technology and move it to a web-based application. Modern browsers don’t Java anymore, but we had a revenue stream that depended on the solution.

The project was a 9-month effort during which they had to familiarize themselves with an all-but-abandoned codebase.

What was the team composition?

One of our only remaining employees with knowledge about the application worked alongside the CINQ team in an agile manner. They provided a project manager, a tech lead, three developers, and a QA engineer.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

We were up against the clock in terms of the cost of losing an annual revenue stream. Their ability to perform the work within the necessary timeframe helped to save that revenue stream from deteriorating.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We provided access to the tools, such as Jira and BitBucket. We interacted with them as an extension development arm, which was extremely effective.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their ability to get up to speed on the technology and understand the business was second to none. It has always impressed me how well and how quickly they're able to ramp up.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

There isn't much where I could say they need to improve. I will always reach out to CINQ as my first choice for development. The team is fantastic, they’re based in the same time zone as us, and their company culture is similar, all of which make for a remarkable relationship.

The project team has handled five effective upgrades to the system, which have boosted its overall quality while lowering its cost. CINQ Technologies’ is an accommodating partner, willing to scale their team as needed. Another plus is that they’re nearshore, making the time zone difference minimal.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m a software development manager for a company that offers a fare management system for large airlines.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire CINQ Technologies?

We hired CINQ Technologies to develop new features for our fare management system and provide maintenance.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

Our VP of software development chose them because he had worked with them in the past and had a very positive experience.

Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?

CINQ Technologies fixed all software defects reported by customers as well as the ones found by our internal QA staff. They also designed and developed new features and assisted in implementing new systems for new airline customers. We’ve upgraded the product with them once a year since 2013.

What was the team composition?

We have a flexible staff of 8–12 Java Developers and Oracle PL/SQL developers. CINQ Technologies also provides assistance with Level 3 support.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

Since working with CINQ Technologies, we’ve gone through five successful upgrade cycles and have implemented the software to over 10 new customers, which gives us a much larger market share in the fare management space. Overall, we’ve been able to produce a higher quality product and provide a better service to our customers at a lower cost.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We were assigned a dedicated project manager from the start and have continued with that model.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

CINQ Technologies is always looking for ways to improve their business and their staff’s technical knowledge. They’re also very accommodating with our changing needs, scaling the team up or down as needed.

Are there any areas where they can improve?

It’s always a challenge to find excellent technical staff that also have experience in the airline industry. Improving their staff’s business knowledge is something they can work on.
