BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Data Sc. Manager at TransSIGHT. TransSIGHT is a leader in transit technology development, integration, and program management with a successful track record of accomplishing major Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) projects.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire DataToBiz?

We collaborated with DataToBiz to implement TransSIGHT's Business Intelligence Platform for one of our key parters in the Bay Area. The challenge was to understand the Transit data, extract relevant information, build a robust ELT framework and stand up an Analytics solution from scratch. DataToBiz skilled engineers helped us implement the project successfully through various stages.

DataToBiz also supported us in analyzing and evaluating use cases for TransSIGHT's home grown Decision Support Solution using advanced analytics, Machine Learning concepts and methodologies.

SOLUTION

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

After talking to the leadership team of multiple companies providing similar services, we shortlisted 2 vendors. After interviewing them individually, we selected DataToBiz having scored better and matched the criteria to support TransSIGHT in its Analytics project's requirements and implementation.

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

The Project was to develop a reporting solution for one of our data partners encompassing various stages of data lifecycle. DataToBiz engineers and analysts supported us in doing an extended requirement analysis, facilitating data sample study, developing and complex data pipelines, implementing advance dashboarding & visualization.

DataToBiz staff also consistently supported in routine data validation tasks and adhoc data analysis requests from our partners.

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

Through out the Business Intelligence project implementation TransSIGHT interacted with four key members including one main point of contact, and three data engineers. For the Data Science Use Case evaluation, we interacted with one of Data Scientists.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

TransSIGHT’s Analytics framework has made it easier for our data partner to access all of their data in a single place. All thanks to the intuitive dashboards which has made performance tracking simple for our users eliminating tedious day to day spreadsheet effort.

Automated process has helped the stakeholders to have access to the fresh data on a daily cadence which is huge boost for effective decision making. With the successful implementation of this project TransSIGHT has been seeing increased interest in the circle for similar implementation and we are hopeful to bag more user engagements in the times to come.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We interacted with the team via slack/zoom calls. Daily Stand ups were conducted in the beginning of the project which was later shifted to weekly cadence post deployment.

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

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

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the founder and CEO of an AI company focused on communication and personal skills improvement. We provide tools for individuals and teams within organizations to improve their communication and overall personal skills in terms of how they’re coming across, how they’re articulating and expressing ideas, and more. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with DataToBiz?

When I started the company almost a year and a half ago, I needed a partner to make my vision a reality.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our product has two major components: a mobile app for Android and iOS and a web-based dashboard. DataToBiz was responsible for all the development work involved in the creation of our product, and my team in Australia designed the UI/UX.

DataToBiz had the complete wireframes and UI/UX designs before they started, as well as a full understanding of what the deliverables were going to be. However, we ran a lot of experimentation in the early days to ensure that the AI would fit our purpose.

The app hosts all the AI functionalities, and the dashboard has videos and other content from our courses. The app helps users with things like pronunciation clarity, energy level sentiments, vocabulary, and many other areas of communication skills development. It works on a subscription model, and users have two weeks to try out the features for free before subscribing.

What is the team composition?

We initially had nine full-time engineers from DataToBiz working on the project, but we’ve whittled the team down to six.

How did you come to work with DataToBiz?

I did a bunch of research online and got recommendations from friends and business owners in the AI industry. I then vetted three companies, two in Australia and one in India.

I connected with DataToBiz’s founders through a common friend. I did some research on them and contacted their clients, and I discovered that they had the skills that I needed.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent close to $500,000 AUD (approximately $377,000 USD).

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with DataToBiz in June 2020, and they’re still working on our project full time. We launched two weeks ago, and the app is currently in a limited pilot in Australia and India. We plan to launch it in Europe and South America as well.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

A few education institutions are piloting the app, and we have customers who are paying already. We’re sending feedback surveys to the 1,000 students using the app, but I don’t have any concrete metrics nor feedback yet.

DataToBiz has delivered what they agreed to, and the relationship is still in place. We’re working through the next stage of the product, and it all has been good so far. Obviously, we’ve had bugs and small issues since launching the MVP, but DataToBiz has fixed most of them. The issues that remain are nothing outside of the ordinary.

How did DataToBiz perform from a project management standpoint?

I’ve managed the project tightly from my side, and I can tell that DataToBiz has delivered on time. We’re using Slack for instant messaging and Jira for agile development. We have two status and review meetings on Mondays and Thursdays. We also schedule additional meetings when required.

What did you find most impressive about them?

DataToBiz’s commitment is impressive. They‘re really passionate people, and they know what they’re doing. Their commitment separates them from the rest of the competitors in their field.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There’s nothing I could suggest for them to improve. Within the scope of what we’re trying to do, DataToBiz has been pretty good.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

DataToBiz is a good choice for someone who wants a partner who understands the product journey, requirements, and delivery expectations. They have the experience and agility to understand what’s possible and deliver to the client’s expectations. They can also make suggestions and improve on the requirements.
