The old application had become brittle, very slow and bloated, and we were losing our support and maintenance provider. Hubex will provide ongoing support and maintenance with the new application.

• The work was broken down into a number of 2-week sprints. Progress and deliverables were reviewed at the end of each sprint. A UAT site was deployed with each sprint which allowed for client testing and evaluation.

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

We are very happy with the process of this project as well as the end result. We worked with a 12-1/2 hour time difference between Lahore and California.

This meant that review meetings took place at 7 am California time and at the end of the workday in Lahore. This actually worked quite well. It meant that the US-side had a full business day to do testing and provide feedback, and that feedback could then be reviewed and responded to by the time we go to work the next day. This actually accelerated the development process.
