Please describe your company and your position there.

With MAX, providers have the ability to make notes and take photos to personalize the consultation. Print and email capabilities enable providers to share documents with the patient or store in the EHR for future reference. MAX runs on iPads and is backed by Cloud-resident API services.

I'm the CTO at MAX. For over two decades, I have overseen engineering, IT operations, and product strategy for software and technology applications that have delivered over $1B in value.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire EMBROX Solutions?

We hired EMBROX to be our turnkey provider for mobile iOS development, backend services, and to set up build and deployment infrastructure including automation.

What were your goals for this project?

Goals for the project were two-fold:

1. Rewrite the existing application fast - in under 3 months to complete a code complete functional equivalent running natively on iOS.
2. To come in under the established budget.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

The vendor was selected from a list of three other vendors, interviews, portfolio examination, rates, and ability to deliver.

Describe the project in detail.

The development of MAX included both the front-end and back-end rewrites. Development tasks were broken into a work breakdown structure, estimated, and organized into sprints.

Each sprint included demonstrations of progress. The demonstrations of progress included iPad demonstrations on local development devices as well as demonstrations made available via Fabric/Crashlytics to our tester pool.

The demonstrations also included both QA and production environments for our content web application backend and the API services created to both read and write content for the web and mobile applications.

The API services include swagger documentation sites and test API consoles that could be authenticated against and then used.

What was the team composition?

The team was composed of a tech lead, mobile iOS Swift developer, API/Kotlin developer, web/front-end Javascript developer, scrum master, and requirements manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

In addition to hitting the established goals, there were a couple other outcomes reached that were beneficial. First, the previous architecture was single-resident and did not allow for cost optimizations although it was elastic based on a per customer basis.

The new architecture allows for both single and multi-resident architectures and allows for cost optimizations based on truly elastic compute and storage requirements. This will reduce TCO at scale by factors of 10-100x. Second, the new architecture allows for multiple levels of authorization and administration which the previous solution did not contain.

Given the need to be very locked down (i.e. we are a healthcare application) having the additional security and improved posture is a great advantage and improvement.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Triages meetings were weekly. Demonstration meetings were weekly. Backlog and sprint grooming meetings were weekly. There were internal daily scrum meetings and we participated in those when necessary. The communication was effectively handled. All team members spoke very good English and were excellent communicators.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The talent of the EMBROX team was most impressive in dealing with new technologies and the benefits they provide (e.g. self documenting APIs and test consoles, elastically scaling lower environments, using encrypted client-side databases). The EMBROX team is also nimble and can develop quickly.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The team is small and juggles a lot of balls. One area of improvement would be in the area of limiting multitasking across other projects and focusing on one thing at a time to complete work without regressions and to hit specific schedules across all projects simultaneously.

Although the multitasking did not affect our schedule negatively, there were times when communication lagged because of competing priorities I believe. These are expected growing pains of a small, talented company as it grows in size.
