Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re an international development firm. We also do domestic and environmental research.

What challenge were you trying to address with Indus Next Technologies Pvt. Ltd.?

We set up a hub and spoke private sector network with the hub as the directly observed therapy center, so a clinic or hospital. The spokes are facilities that funnel into the center. This model was to increase the detection of tuberculosis. Everyone used a paper-based screening form. It was difficult to track samples and patients for testing. We wanted to digitize that process so that we could more easily understand where there was a break in the system as well as have quicker notifications on case detection.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Indus Next Technologies developed our Android application. Their team was specifically on the programming side of the project. We had design workshops with our stakeholders and then another agency translated those ideas into specifications. Indus took those specifications and programmed them. Their team refined the app and made sure to troubleshoot features that didn’t work as expected. Indus is transitioning the development of our app and data portal to a local firm.

What is the team composition?

We had two primary points of contact.

How did you come to work with Indus Next Technologies Pvt. Ltd.?

The agency that helped us to design our app introduced us to Indus.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $100,000 on Indus’ services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the contract in February 2019 and we’re still working together.

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

We piloted the app and we’re currently rolling it out. Our goal is to scale the platform, so we’ve got big plans. We have about 600–700 users registered but we're still revising the app. We're happy that we're able to have a lot of users while continuing to scale the app. The app has good functions. It enables better connections between facilities and reporting from facilities.

How did Indus Next Technologies Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

Our points of contact were responsive. I had a positive experience working with them. Their project management was usually clear. I always knew what to expect and when to expect it, which I liked.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They were professional. The project got heated at times because we would be stressed and our client would be stressed. Indus always kept their cool and troubleshot any problems. They were always available, which was reassuring and helpful. Their availability was exceptional given the time difference.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They don’t use WhatsApp but our whole program uses it. That made it harder for us to communicate. We used Slack, which was fine for the more technical people. One of our client’s main complaints was that we moved too slowly. I wouldn’t attribute that to Indus because we made a big design shift midday through.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

It’s easier to have a clear set of specifications coming into the project. It’s better to have an understanding of design and programming processes. The wireframes weren’t important to our project. We created them but scrapped them because we took too long going back and forth.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the director of software development and my organization runs financial payment systems for point of sale, mobile, and ATM traffic in Canada.

What challenge were you trying to address with Indus Net Technologies Pvt. Ltd.?

We were looking for an outsourcing partner with a specialized skillset.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They provide full-stack web development for Java for some client portals. Right now they’re working on three sites. They’re static websites. But we keep them upgraded and we keep adding features. Our clients use these portals to bring new types of point of sale terminals onto our system. There’s also security and other software that need to be deployed from these portals, but they need to be provided in a cloud environment. They continue to provide support.

What is the team composition?

We have an account manager, and depending on the project, we have about fifteen people assigned to us.

How did you come to work with Indus Net Technologies Pvt. Ltd.?

We got a recommendation from a senior VP who worked with them in the past. We looked at a few other companies, but they had too much overhead.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $100,000 per year (approximately $200,000 so far).

What is the status of this engagement?

The project started in March 2018 and we are still working together.

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

We do production implementation and testing. We found that although initially, they had more defects, once they started to understand our business, they’re down to the standard number of defects that we’d expect in any production implementation. We also do code acceptance and we’re involved in code review before it moves into QA.

How did Indus Net Technologies Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

It’s definitely a collaboration. Their project manager works with our project manager. We use spreadsheets to collaborate. We communicate by Zoom and instant messenger. We also have regular project meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

I’ve worked with developers, and typically, there’s a much longer learning curve. When they say they have certain skills, they really do have experienced team members with those skillsets. Hiring their team is the equivalent of hiring senior technical resources.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We did have to learn how to communicate with them because they’re an offshore environment. They’re twelve and a half hours remote from us, so we needed to make sure our schedules lined up. They had to work later in the evenings and we had to work earlier in the day. Once we figured that out, everything went smoothly.  

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you have well-written requirements. There’s a learning curve for anyone working in a new industry. It also helps to work earlier so it’s easier to communicate with them.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with three different people so far. They work remotely.

They were referred to me by my brother who had done some work with them through his company. It worked out well for him.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in September 2016, and it’s ongoing.

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

Their performance has been very good. There haven’t been any challenges that we haven’t been able to overcome. The developers are usually on time, and they work diligently. When I have a need for a certain key resource, they’ve been very responsive in getting back to me or finding someone for me. The feature enhancements have improved the workflow for the people who are using the application.

How did Indus Net Technologies Pvt. Ltd. perform from a project management standpoint?

Project management is very good. Whenever I have a need or question, they’re very responsive. They keep deliverables on track. We communicate via online conferencing and email. We do project tracking and handle tasks and issues on GitHub.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re very willing to work to make things happen for you. They’re good partners.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Sometimes I have developers who come in with certain skills, and they could have probably had better skills. If they could do a lot of in-house trainings or have sessions to improve the skills of individuals, that would be the gravy on the top.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure what you’re looking for is clear to yourself. Thoroughly interview the resource you’re going to work with. Talk about the projects and get fully comfortable before you bring anyone on board.
