Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

We partner with laboratory providers, running large scale studies on genetic data. We approached Dreamers Inc. years ago, as our problem space was vast and complex, requiring expertise in multiple disciplines including mathematics, bioinformatics, genetics, machine learning, security, and software development. My team approached dozens of companies before we found them. 

We also worked with multiple offshore teams that were not able to produce results at this level. After two months of working with them, it was clear we had a long term relationship in the works. They have been our exclusive technology partner for years since. 

Key deliverables included an end to end pipeline capable of parsing and processing petabytes quickly and retiring old data, a machine learning system capable of learning from new data and providing accurate results, an inference system capable of scaling, and a secure data management system capable of withstanding penetration tests.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

1. The model performed with high accuracy, capable of correlating phenotype data to genotype data and visa versa 
2. The interface was adopted by our clients with minimal friction 
3. The pipeline performed within minutes, whereas it took 28 hours before we hired them.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They usually deliver in advance of the timeline we give them, and provide personal service in which it is clear they are invested in shared success. They are accessible and sensitive to our company's goals and requirements.

What was your primary form of communication with Dreamers Inc.?

• In-Person Meeting
• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

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

The sheer level of expertise across so many diverse sciences is extremely unique. Additionally, they maintain professional demeanor while being good humored and easygoing. The engineers are humble despite being incredibly experienced and knowledgeable.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Dreamers Inc. could have done differently?

Other companies we have worked with were cheaper, but none of them were able to complete our project's requirements. In this world you get what you pay for. They are a great team, there are no major complaints.
