BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the Founder and CEO of Lifeboard VR. A U.S.-based company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Marble IT, and what were your goals?

Our concept was to build a piece of personal productivity software that runs on Windows and Apple. The software was a complex project with Marble IT having to create custom coding solutions that works with subliminal programming for personal productivity.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

Upon arriving in Novi Sad we went to four potential vendors. I have built several apps over the years and am very familiar with how to interview IT, vendors. In more than 12 years in the business--I have NEVER had happen what happened with Marble IT.

After my initial interview, I set a follow-up meeting with them less than a week later. Upon arriving I was shown a working prototype of the end product. Shocked, I immediately awarded them our contact. Their CTO had single-handedly built a working demo only "to see if what I wanted was technologically possible."

Keep in mind this was 100% speculative work. Like I said no company had ever created a piece of demo software without a signed contract. Needless to say I hired them on the spot.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

The application is built for Apple and Windows.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

In total, I believe the number of people that had on the project was 5.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?

At this point, we are going into beta testing. Any small issues that have come up are being tended to immediately. Super fast response time.

Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timeliness.

This is MarbleIT's strong suit. They have the communications game down. WhatsApp group, online platforms for tracking day-by-day processes, and more.

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

Their most unique trait is they are innovative and nimble. Nothing gets bogged down. Marble IT, for me, has overturned every stone on the path to satisfying me as a customer. Honestly, they have a knack for making you feel like you're their only client--which of course you ar not.

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

This might sound patronizing but, I cannot think of what they could have done better or faster. As you can see my next tattoo is the Marble IT arm tattoo. ;c)

I am the CEO and Co-Founder of Netfork, a software development community that connects high-quality development teams and clients in need of software development.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Marble IT, and what were your goals?

Marble IT was our development team for several different projects. In few cases that included providing dedicated teams for ongoing projects, and in others, building a solution from scratch. One of the challenges was to provide a team for ongoing development of Business Management CRM. The other one was to build an MVP for business used for contact management.

This vendor was recommended to us by other partners. They left an excellent impression from the get-go, both knowledge-wise and culturally.

Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.

They have provided an agile dedicated team that was seamlessly blended into much larger team of developers, where they continually developed new features on both back end and front end. On other engagements, they have also provided all-around MVP development services, by performing discovery with UX/UI design, and developing the full solution.

How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?

Dedicated team consisted of the 5 full time, full stack developers (Angular + .NET Core) on the project where they integrated into a larger external client's team.

One of the projects is continually being used in the production by hundreds of different businesses, for a variety of their needs.

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

They did not shy away from saying hard truths about any challenges they encountered, and in turn provided a great feedback loop of decision making that made whole development flow much more agile and effective.

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

I wouldn’t suggest anything different.

How did you select this vendor and what were the deciding factors?

First, as a company engaged in positive psychology human connection is the main key to us.

In addition of course the professional part proved itself and the proof that we also continued to move with Marble to Phase 2 of the product.

I’m the CEO and co-founder of Bright Marbles Group Holding, a premium software service and digital development company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Marble IT?

We don’t have enough people to cover our products, so we created a strict program that enables us to preselect talented software developers through outsourced staff augmentation.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

Marble IT has become our primary outsourcing partner to supplement our many development projects. So far, we’ve hired two engineers for a forecasting platform and two frontend developers for React Native development.

They essentially provide us with the necessary manpower to support our clients for their development needs, and maximize our efforts to scale a project up or down.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with several developers over the partnership, but we're currently working with two people on a client project.

I’ve known the founders and CTO for a long time since we belong in the same industry community. We approached them and went through the process to find out that they were a cultural fit for this project, so we decided to work with them.

How much have you invested with them?

On average, we spend about $240,000 per project.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started in January 2019.

The developers that we’ve engaged with have strong development expertise, so we’re really satisfied with the level of talent Marble IT provides for us.

We handle the project management aspect and control the velocity of the process, so they strictly adhere to our timelines. Thus far, We have a 100% success rate as no client has ever canceled a project.

We typically communicate through Microsoft Teams, Slack, Skype, phone, and email.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Marble IT is a premium partner with highly motivated and talented developers that exhibit a strong culture. We’re impressed with their sense of purpose and flexibility when it comes to adapting to the scale of the project.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They’re a young company with a lot of room to grow, and I think they should start with making improvements to providing full-cycle development.

Other than that, they’ve been really agile, communicative, transparent, and responsive to our concerns.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

I would advise being transparent and communicating directly with the CTO at the start of your engagement.
