Project summary
Integral Vision started with a discovery stage to understand the complicated solutions which needed to be explained and the unique business needs. Then, they developed the web design needed to upgrade the site.
Feedback summary
Integral Vision successfully created a striking design that stands out from competitors’ sites and garners positive feedback from stakeholders. The team impressed with their strong commitment and dedication to the project. They proposed helpful ideas and offered good communication and flexibility.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the business development manager at Navitasoft, an IT company and consultancy. We provide software solutions for the liberalized electricity and gas market space.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
We wanted to upgrade our website. There are quite a few software companies who specialize in the energy markets, but we wanted to stand out from the crowd and communicate efficiently about the complex solutions that we have. We needed an inspiring web design and website that could provide straightforward communication to our potential customers quickly and clearly.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We showed them examples of our competitors’ sites and our existing software solutions, and we shared our ideas of how we wanted them to develop our website. We told them about our business needs and gave them an overview of what we were looking for. They took the examples we showed them and came up with ideas, and we discussed the graphics and design.
What is the team composition?
After the first 3–4 meetings, I was only in contact with their team to check the progress and the deliverables.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
We had a long-standing relationship with them. They helped us with some of our clients’ work previously.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together on this project from July 2018–January 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We achieved one of the main targets, which was standing out from the crowd. They developed a modern and appealing look with great graphical solutions that reflects a professional team in the energy market. It also has some niches that are different from other providers. We also achieved the clear communication we wanted.
The internal feedback within the company is great. Employees like it a lot. We also get good feedback from our strategic partners on the design and the fresh new look.
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
We met at our headquarters and also via videoconference. Their excellent and incredibly agile project management completely addressed our needs. We spoke every two weeks. When we were ready to go live, we had short, 5–10 minute daily stand-ups to go over the test cases and other details. They were flexible.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their engagement is impressive. They take ownership of the project and get into the details. They come up with ideas. They’re emotionally involved. They weren’t just a service provider, but this was like their own project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The final go-live period of testing could have been improved.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be open. Sometimes we only had 5–10-minute meetings, but they were especially useful for clarification. They’re flexible and adjust to your needs.

Webshop and administrative system
In the beginning Vanilin Confectionary operated one milk bar. Now it has six shops for gourmet customers looking for something sweet. The confectionery is proud of its homemade style sweets and the traditional Hungarian style cakes and cookies. It was a challenge to effectively manage the production line from the order to delivery.
We mapped this process and created a Drupal based solution. This led to the opening of the 7th shop: the webshop.

Virtual Exhibition Platform for Museums
Integral Vision has worked closely with PIM’s museum pedagogues to create a platform that helps secondary school students organize virtual exhibitions.
The continuous work that students engage themselves in for months helps them to get familiar with certain pieces of contemporary literature. Besides learning traditional analysis students are encouraged to be not only observers but active participants in the process and see the work through their own experiences. This method can help students develop a unique way of how they perceive themselves and literature, poetry and contemporary art in general. While working on the virtual exhibition students also meet PIM's digital collection and can actually become “digital museum goers”.
Key functions: user management, team work management, multi-page exhibition editor, multimedia repository, visual schemes

Ybl Creative House Buda - official website
"There are only a few buildings where engineering goals and artistic aspects met so perfectly like in the Ybl engine house kiosk" – wrote Ervin Ybl in his monograph of the great architect published in 1956. It is true that he used unique aesthetic and architecture techniques to dress up a fairly complex industrial unit in an artistic guise, additionally, in harmony with the Castle Garden Bazaar.
It is an amazing experience to have a coffee in this building which used to be the Castle Garden Casino. That’s why we designed and developed budaikreativhaz.hu

Castle Garden website
The Castle Garden team longed for an attractive surface that truly illustrates the spirit of the institute. They found it important to show the events and other information in a clear, easy-to-use structure.
Besides the above, during the development, we emphasized the need to create a friendly, multifaceted system also for editors using it day by day. In order to meet all expectations, we were not afraid to to use less widespread solutions.

Hungarian Judicial Pages
We developed a system of 25 independent but collaborating portals, built on the same codebase and with identical functionalities, for the National Office for the Judiciary. Implementation, usability, and adequate support of official workflows were significant priorities.

International Trade Centre
The International Trade Centre (ITC) is a joint agency of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD).
They represent values that are important to our company since they focus on emphasizing the importance of economic empowerment and
fair job opportunities for women, youth, refugees and migrants, and other vulnerable populations.
We were honored to have been selected by one of the world’s leading UX agencies, whitespace.ch, to implement the concept of a dynamic and engaging platform on Drupal. The project was among our most complex works during the past years. We needed to structure a vast amount of content: more than 20 content types, blocks and taxonomies and almost 40 paragraph types were used as building blocks, and furthermore, we have implemented a wide range of integrations to enable smooth content flow between systems.
The project lasted nearly a year, with the joint effort of the ITC and whitespace.ch to create a user-friendly website hosted in the Cloud.

ECNL Learning Center
ECNL’s learning platform offers videos, explainers, and readings on areas that affect civic space, organized under thematic packages. Related stories explain how such measures impact civil society work in practice, and CSOs in different countries took to push back.

CSO meter
CSO Meter is a website of the collaborative international project that focuses on the assessment of the situation of the civil society in the Eastern Partnership Countries. The experts of the participant organizations analyze ten areas of the legal frameworks and practices in each country annually.
At the end of 2020, the European Center for Not-for-Profit Law – whose new website was recently launched by Integral Vision – decided on the structural and visual re-design of the whole site. We were happy to join the project.
The qualitative research findings needed to remain easily searchable on the new site throughout the collaboration. Another critical issue was that the results would be comparable by country, year, and region. We also needed to ensure flexibility for the continuously evolving methodology and refined data structuring.

52nd International Eucharistic Congress
The International Eucharistic Congress is an event series organized by the Roman Catholic Church and held every four years. In 2020 Budapest will be the host of this large-scale event, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the world.
Preparations started already in 2016, and it was essential to renew the website so that its appearance matches the image of the event and its functionalities meet the expectations o users during both the preparation phase and the eight days congress as well.

Bethesda Children's Hospital Intranet
Bethesda treats patients up to the age of 18 from across Hungary, as well as providing care for socially disadvantaged and physically handicapped children and their families. The Intranet is available only for Bethesda workers who have now access to up-to-date information about clinical protocols and documents, employee schedules, news hub and an event calendar.

Baltic Transparency Platform
The project was implemented jointly with Navitasoft. The backend has been built on Drupal, which can secure and stable data management even for large amounts of data and provides customizability and flexible programming. We used MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, and the frontend application was written in Vue.js.
We have developed several API interfaces to the portal, providing automated data delivery to stakeholders. In addition to usability, the new Baltic Transparency Dashboard will provide a reliable and up-to-date data service and a visually appealing user experience.
We created the operational background with a complex virtualization solution, and the page load was reduced to less than 1 s for hundreds of concurrent users. The Drupal 9 system proved an excellent integration platform; we could efficiently serve highly complex processes.

Europe's No1 EPSO Test Preparation Service
A platform for practicing for EU Institutions' selection exam. Offering 25.000 practice tests in 14 languages of the widest range of materials for all stages and levels simulating the EPSO exam as closely as possible. This application helps over 80.000 users to prepare for the exam.

the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the director of the Kassák Museum, a member institution of the Petőfi Literary Museum, Budapest. The Kassák Museum is a small museum devoted to the Hungarian avant-garde.
For what projects/services did your company hire Integral Vision, and what were your goals?
The Kassák Museum has an own separate website since 2011. The first website was designed ad set up in 2011, and by 2021, the design and accessibility was outdated. Integral Vision was hired by the Petőfi LIterary Museum to design and build a new website for the Kassák Museum, while maintaining the contents of the previous website.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
Integal Vision was decided upon by the Petőfi Literary Museum's directorate, based on their professional credentials, their offer, and their previous work. They have been cooperating with the P.L.M. before our joint project on websites of other member institutions.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kick-off meeting and set up the scope of work. After that, the staff of the Kassák Museum collected required information on the new website's structure and contents, and all the relevant questions were discussed in detail. The designer of the Kassák Museum's logo and previous website was invited as design consultant. All site designs and technologcal questions were discussed in detail through online and offline meetings with the project managers at Integral Vision.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
We had close contact with two project managers from Integral Vision. Several colleagues were involved in building and developing the Kassák Museum website.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The main outcome of the new website is its improved design and accessibility, both on the side of the users and the museum's staff. We have been receiving positive feedback on the new website since its launch in June 2022.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
Communication with Integral Vision was smooth and easy, through emails, shared online documents and online/offline meetings throughout the design and development process. Integral Vision staff was always on time.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Integal Vision staff was highly professional and keen on solving our specific requests throughout the process. The website turned out to be in line with the design requirements of the Kassák Museum and stillmore user friendly than our previous website.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
None.

Web Development for Publishing House
"Their Drupal developer team was one of the best in the industry."
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the in-house graphic designer and marketing advisor of the publishing house. We specialize in publishing books on literature and culture, and we organize cultural events regularly.
For what projects/services did your company hire Integral Vision, and what were your goals?
The website of the publishing house was very outdated and extremely slow. Its webshop held loads of great books, but due to the slow site performance and the myriad of usability issues, we could hardly sell our books online. The magazine (part of the publishing house) did not have a website before. It was built from the ground up to make educational materials available for teachers and students.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We shortlisted around ten companies and asked for a cost estimate from several ones. Integral Vision gave a great price, and they had many projects in the cultural sphere. Their designs were top-notch, and the sites worked flawlessly. They also have a great website and a forward-thinking, easy-going, professional, and calm company culture.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had several meetings throughout the whole process biweekly. They designed an updated and contemporary online brand guideline based on our current branded materials shown on the landing pages. After that, each webpage was designed for desktop and mobile. Development began after all the design files got finished. It was a very smooth process. They used Drupal as the primary CMS with many plugins and custom solutions tailored to our needs. There was a big feedback meeting at the end of each main project task (at the end of the design sprint and the end of development).
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
There was one designer, one key project manager, two lead developers, and four more developers working on smaller tasks.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
We now have a proper online payment user flow, and all our books and contents are easily accessible. We are getting more and more orders directly from our site. One of the main benefits is that now we have total control over our website, and every piece of content is editable by the editorial team. The magazine now has an event and article archive available to everyone.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
We had biweekly meetings where we ideated and discussed the main project milestones. These were the only occasions for giving feedback, but they were very flexible when something important came up. There were two big feedback meetings: one at the end of the design sprints, and one more at the end of the project. On these occasions we could give general feedback on the process as a whole. We used e-mail, Google Docs, and Figma to communicate.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
One of the best things was that they were very open to discussions and were always trying to come up with the absolute best solution to every problem. We could feel that they wanted this project to succeed. Their Drupal developer team was one of the best in the industry. They over-delivered on many occasions.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
We enjoyed the whole process. There isn't anything that comes to mind.

"We appreciate that they share their expertise and put careful thought into things we may have overlooked."

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the project and communications officer at European Center for Not-for-Profit Law Stichting (ECNL). We enable legal and policy environments that help individuals and organizations exercise their civic freedoms.
What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
We needed help with developing our learning platform, so we partnered with Integral Vision.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Integral Vision developed our e-learning platform, which is a sub-domain of our main website. They helped us think through what would be the most ideal look and layout for the website, what would be engaging from a user perspective, and what would look most appealing to our audiences. Once we had agreed on the design of each page, they went into coding the site and building it from scratch on Drupal.
Their team created a platform to host learning packages for topics that affect the civic space, with each package containing interactive materials, resources, embedded videos, and testimonials. They also created a map on the learning center’s landing page — a feature that would allow users to see case studies and find the topics and learning packages related to them. We then asked them to develop a contact form so site visitors could reach out to us if they have questions or comments.
We’re now having conversations with Integral Vision about SEO. They’ll run an introductory workshop for us since we don’t have in-depth knowledge about this at the moment. When we decide that this is something we want to pursue more in depth, we will probably get assistance from them in the future. We will also engage them again to expand the learning center with new features.
What is the team composition?
We’ve worked with quite a lot of people: three members from the communication side, three developers, and proofreaders.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
They were already working with us on our main website. We’ve been very satisfied with the quality and price of their services, so we decided to engage them again for this project.
How much have you invested with them?
We’ve invested over $14,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working together in January 2018, and our engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We’ve been monitoring the site activity through Google Analytics, and we’ve seen a lot of people engage with the learning center that Integral Vision developed. We’ve also received positive feedback around the new platform; our donors are very impressed, and our partner organizations have begun soliciting material that can be included in the learning packages.
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
Their project management is impressive, and their team is very flexible. We haven’t experienced any major delays or exceeded our budget. We communicate via email, and they share the development process with us through Zeppelin.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve really held our hands during the development process. Their team doesn’t just deliver what we ask for, they also think through the process with us to make the platform as engaging as possible. We appreciate that they share their expertise and put careful thought into things we may have overlooked. Not all service providers do this.
Are there any areas they could improve?
No, everything is going as planned.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be very clear on what you want, and listen to their team because they have a lot of useful advice. Let them use their expertise in guiding you.

Squarespace Development for Healthcare Nonprofit
"They spend a lot of time understanding our context and content and that helps them restructure our website."
the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the fundraising and marketing manager of Thalassa Ház, an institute for psychotherapy and psychiatric rehabilitation run by an NGO.
What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
Our previous site was more than 10 years old and was completely out of date. It was very difficult to manage, so we wanted a new and trendy website to meet our patient’s needs. We needed something with a clear structure that was much easier to understand and a platform that would be able to introduce our services to potential clients.
What was the scope of their involvement?
We had a kickoff meeting where they explained their services and evaluated our needs, plans, and preferences. They then audited our old website and gave us very valuable feedback regarding what to change in our content in order to be up to date.
After that, they designed a completely new Squarespace website from scratch. We gave them feedback on the first designs they prepared and we continue to modified them as we went along. They trained us on how to use the Squarespace platform and administer the page, and they promised to provide a written guideline so that any of our staff would be able to use the website. They also created a new visual identity for us, including a new color palette. Their designers created custom visual elements and illustrations for our content, which was very helpful.
In addition, resource development and fundraising are two things we requested on the website and both of those are almost complete. The team is choosing our payment processing provider and they will design and integrate that subpage for us. Moreover, we’re going to have Google Analytics integrated into the website and we’re going to offer questionnaires to our clients so we can gather feedback. We're targeting possible donors and corporations because we want to figure out if our website provides them with all the information about our operations.
What is the team composition?
We’re working with their project manager who’s in charge of keeping in contact with their team members. Sometimes a designer also joins our meeting.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
Integral Vision published a call for tender for NGOs offering pro-bono web design services. When our manager saw that, she reached out to her network to find references on Integral Vision and they had very positive reviews. We later found out that two of our close partners had also worked with Integral Vision in the past and had good feedback. The positive feedback we heard gave us a lot of trust in them, so we applied and won the tender.
How much have you invested with them?
We only invest our time in this project. They’re doing everything pro-bono.
What is the status of this engagement?
Our ongoing partnership started in September 2021. They completed the website in February 2022.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
The website has been published a week ago. At this point, only our board members, subcontractors, and staff have tried it and given their feedback. All in all, we’ve received positive responses from them. People have said that our website has become more transparent and clearly structured. On top of that, the site has very attractive visual elements.
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
I’ll give Integral Vision a 200% rating for their project management. They’re always accessible, and they regularly organize meetings, making sure we’re on track with deadlines. Moreover, they constantly provide feedback on the content that we send them, giving their professional point of view on what works best. They share their design ideas, too.
They’re reliable, helpful, patient, and understanding in training us how to use the website, especially since we don’t have appointed staff for that. We have meetings through online video conferencing, and we also frequently exchange emails. They listen carefully to our ideas and based on that they come up with suggestions. Overall, they guide us throughout the process.
What did you find most impressive about them?
They’ve been very interested in what we do and have been sensitive to our activities. Their team is also well-prepared for our social mission and they’re very open to what we like and don’t like. Furthermore, they spend a lot of time understanding our context and content and that helps them restructure our website.
Are there any areas they could improve?
Everything has been perfect.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Plan ahead before the engagement starts and set tighter deadlines.

the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
I'm the Head of the Marketing and PR department and one of the Deputy Directors of the Petőfi Literary Museum. The Petőfi Literary Museum is the Hungarian national literary museum.
For what projects/services did your company hire Integral Vision, and what were your goals?
We developed one of the museum's subsites in cooperation with Integral Vision. Our goals were to present one of the museum's collections about an important Hungarian poet to visitors.
How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?
We are in cooperation with Integral Vision concerning more web and digital developed projects. The board of the museum and our marketing and informatics experts satisfied with its services. Their works are very innovative and target oriented.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a kick-off meeting to discuss our goals and objectives, after that we biweekly had meeting to discuss the actually workflows. From there, the team delivered mock-ups and wireframes of our subsite. After a few iterations, their team designed and developed an informational Drupal site (including the responsive view).
They made the connection between the museum's database and the subsite, and migration of the main content from the database into the subsite. Our editors' team updated and corrected the content. The published site has a text content part, a gallery with a download function for the users. The visitors can use the free word site search platform and the filters.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
2 people worked with me from the vendor's team: the account manager and the designer.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
After the launch, a lot of articles appeared on multiple different news sites and in the printed press about our new subsite. One week after the launch the main result for us was: following the latest statistics, 64% of the visitors are young people between the ages of 18 and 34. This target team is very important for our Museum. The users can fast and easily navigate the site.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.
The Integral Vision team uses the SCRUM agile methodology. At the end of each biweekly sprint, we had a great demo meeting and in case it was needed, we discussed the presented solutions. We had online meetings using google meet, some checking via emails and google drive folders.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They gave us a professional Drupal site easy to update. Integral Vision had a professional Drupal web development team — their work was very innovative and impressive. Target-oriented and effective company.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
After the kick-off meeting, we had to discuss again the goals of the project.

Project summary
Integral Vision started with a discovery stage to understand the complicated solutions which needed to be explained and the unique business needs. Then, they developed the web design needed to upgrade the site.
Feedback summary
Integral Vision successfully created a striking design that stands out from competitors’ sites and garners positive feedback from stakeholders. The team impressed with their strong commitment and dedication to the project. They proposed helpful ideas and offered good communication and flexibility.
BACKGROUND
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I’m the business development manager at Navitasoft, an IT company and consultancy. We provide software solutions for the liberalized electricity and gas market space.
OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE
What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
We wanted to upgrade our website. There are quite a few software companies who specialize in the energy markets, but we wanted to stand out from the crowd and communicate efficiently about the complex solutions that we have. We needed an inspiring web design and website that could provide straightforward communication to our potential customers quickly and clearly.
SOLUTION
What was the scope of their involvement?
We showed them examples of our competitors’ sites and our existing software solutions, and we shared our ideas of how we wanted them to develop our website. We told them about our business needs and gave them an overview of what we were looking for. They took the examples we showed them and came up with ideas, and we discussed the graphics and design.
What is the team composition?
After the first 3–4 meetings, I was only in contact with their team to check the progress and the deliverables.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
We had a long-standing relationship with them. They helped us with some of our clients’ work previously.
How much have you invested with them?
We spent $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We worked together on this project from July 2018–January 2019.
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
We achieved one of the main targets, which was standing out from the crowd. They developed a modern and appealing look with great graphical solutions that reflects a professional team in the energy market. It also has some niches that are different from other providers. We also achieved the clear communication we wanted.
The internal feedback within the company is great. Employees like it a lot. We also get good feedback from our strategic partners on the design and the fresh new look.
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
We met at our headquarters and also via videoconference. Their excellent and incredibly agile project management completely addressed our needs. We spoke every two weeks. When we were ready to go live, we had short, 5–10 minute daily stand-ups to go over the test cases and other details. They were flexible.
What did you find most impressive about them?
Their engagement is impressive. They take ownership of the project and get into the details. They come up with ideas. They’re emotionally involved. They weren’t just a service provider, but this was like their own project.
Are there any areas they could improve?
The final go-live period of testing could have been improved.
Do you have any advice for potential customers?
Be open. Sometimes we only had 5–10-minute meetings, but they were especially useful for clarification. They’re flexible and adjust to your needs.

the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
Menedek is a 25-year-old Hungarian NGO. We work with refugees and foreigners, offering social counseling, training, and advocacy in the topics we stand for. I’m a project manager in our organization, and I’m part of the management team, responsible for operations.
What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
They’re our partner for all web-based solutions, supporting anything related to our online appearance.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Around a decade ago, Integral Vision produced our Drupal website — it’s been reshaped and reinvented since then. We’re constantly adding features and redesigning our site based on new trends.
The most recent upgrade came in 2020, where they added a donation module to the site. People can now make one-time or regular donations through it. Our team figured out the content and placement of the module for them to implement.
We have a basic idea of our visuals. Fonts, colors, and other related features are regulated on the site, but the design is done partly by Integral Vision.
What is the team composition?
We can contact their CEO if we need to, but our main contact is the project manager. I’m also in contact with the person responsible for site updates.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
I wasn’t involved in finding their team — they were already a partner when I joined the organization.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Integral Vision around 10 years ago in 2011 and our engagement is ongoing.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
Integral Vision has been a reliable partner for several years. We know that the website is secure and stable. Security is a very important factor for us because we’re working with refugees, which is a critical topic in Hungary. The site might be attacked by anyone capable of doing so, but that hasn’t happened, thanks to Integral Vision.
We don't experience any crashes, bugs, missing pictures, or deficiencies of any kind. I haven’t had any negative experiences in our collaboration.
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
They have a really nice team, and I like how they connect with each other and with our team as the client. They communicate with us in an accessible way, and they have a large focus on client needs.
They have an agile approach and use sprints for their work. We’re always updated about the status of the work and the time needed for certain tasks. Together, we decide on starting times and deadlines. We also use Jira on both sides.
What did you find most impressive about them?
It’s the human factor that's most impressive. It’s really nice to work with people who understand the importance of our work and our language. It’s nice to be appreciated, even by a service provider. They understand the reality we’re working with in Hungary, and that’s a big plus for me.
Are there any areas they could improve?
I can’t think of anything they could improve at the moment.

Please describe your company and your position there.
We are internation research center based at the University of Pécs (HU), with the scope of conducting and coordinating research on the Roman frontiers, with emphasis on the Danube Limes tentative World Heritage Site. We collaborate with colleagues from all over the European section of the Roman frontiers. The aim of our work is to provide reliable data for academia and tourism related development.
For what projects/services did your company hire Integral Vision, and what were your goals?
For our daily work and long-range goals we wanted to establish an accessible, open, online tool (database platform) for managing and overseeing data from various sites all over the Roman frontiers. The number of these sites is in the thousands with numerous component parts (buildings, features within sites) and various auxiliary data (personnel, institutions, individual activities) so it was key to establish a manageable, clear system.
How did you select Integral Vision and what were the deciding factors?
In Hungary, Integral Vision was the sole company with multiple years of experience in managing such an archaeological database. Given their success with Archaeodatabase and the generally favoured, positive response from users it was an easy pick.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
First step was database planning, we established data types and volume, key functionality and some user must-haves (GIS display and measurements on front-end, a large set of user definable taxonomies, aggregate data between parents and children nodes). Afterwards data structure, access management, API, and layouts were gradually established in a Drupal framework and modules.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The core team included a project manager, a designer and a senior developer with additional people drawn in depending on project needs.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The site was launched recently on schedule and although it has been published only recently, it recieved generally positive feedback from our colleagues, testers and outside professionals of the field too. So far 463 nodes were uploaded (75 Sites, 49 Site components, 68 Component parts, 108 Persons, 39 Institutions and 124 Research activities), which is an impressive start. All our expectations were met and we look forward to working together, adding new features to the application.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
Project management went smooth, all our needs and requirements were attended to at all times. All the deadlines were met, we experienced no delays nor any bumps from the vendor's part. Regular demonstrations were held on Hangouts and we followed development progress through Jira.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
I admired that during development, we were often presented with the pros and cons of several solutions and we could take our pick after careful consideration. I believe we avoided many pitfalls thanks to this proactive approach.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
Not really, our mutual work was perfect as far as it goes.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I work as the Director of Operations at Euroexam International Ltd. We provide language exams in German and English and also preparation materials, online and offline trainings for language teachers as well as for language learners.
Our core market is Hungary, but we have partners internationally, like in Russia, Turkey and Mexico.
For what projects/services did your company hire Integral Vision, and what were your goals?
Web development, web application design. We had an almost finished wireframe and user interface design, but the previous supplier couldn't finish it due some legal debate between the two company.
Integral Vision had to finish he design work and the specification and develop the whole project. Our main goal was to develop the project with agile method in a reasonable budget due finalising the functions and appearance step by step during the development process.
Business wise the main goal was to create a website with different types of user accounts helping the preparation and application for the language exams.
How did you select Integral Vision and what were the deciding factors?
We needed a partner immediately with huge flexibility, free development capacity and reasonable price. We asked cost estimation from 3 partners. We took into considerations their previous works, their Drupal experience, their project backlog and cost estimation.
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
We had a specification, a wireframe and a UI design from the previous supplier so we started with a kick-off meeting in order to clarify the scope, answer the questions and see the modifications needed on the existing materials.
Based on the kick-off meeting they made a rough hourly estimation. They delivered new ideas and improvement proposals week by week based on our business goals. We planned together the functions and the deliverable MVP and optimised it sprint by sprint.
They had to integrate three other platform and develop API endpoints for them which needed a huge flexibility and patience from their side, but they managed it. Big thanks and appreciation for that.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
The project manager was the main contact during the whole process, but on the demos and on the API technical discussions the lead developer also attended.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
More than 2.000 registered users in 2 weeks :-) No drop in SEO rankings (normally the opposite happens in case of a new site launch)
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We used Jira and planned in two week-long sprints. We finalised and prioritised the sprint issues with the project managers before the sprint started. She communicated with the team members and with me as well. Her communication is always clear, kind and punctual.
The whole team had useful ideas for improvements, worth to consider. They did their work very responsibly and in the agreed deadline. If they had to modify the timeline or the sprint scope, they always informed me in advance, so we had the chance to change the priorities and prepare.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They really work as a team with the goal of making good digital products. They love their work and - which is very rare - they are honest. They tell you if you are not right or if they don't feel comfortable with a project.
The "professional comfort" of their colleagues counts a lot for the management.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
not yet
Integral Vision helped ensure that the final system pulled data from the Baltic balancing IT system (CoBA) and could adapt to new data source connections. While the team could adapt their speed and simplicity to projects backed by vast organizations, they did deliver ahead of time.
