MITRIX Technology

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m a founder of a management consultant and technology engineering firm. We primarily operate in healthcare, financial services, and other asset-intensive industries. Our business has three functional areas: program delivery, process improvement, and change management. We also have three technical areas: systems integration, software development, and data analytics.

What challenge were you trying to address with MITRIX Technology?

We decided to build a solution accelerator for project portfolio management (PPM). We handle PPM for many large clients internationally, and we’ve seen a pattern of organizations needing better ways to manage their projects, programs, and portfolios. There are high-level, costly solutions, but we felt there was a market for a cheaper solution.

What was the scope of their involvement?

They’re helping us build a custom software solution that operates on top of Office 365. Their team is using Sharepoint, React, and Fluent UI. They’re focused on front- and backend development for the solution.

What is the team composition?

We worked with three people: Dima (CEO & Founder) and two developers.

How did you come to work with MITRIX Technology?

They were a referral to us from multiple people. Everyone spoke highly of Dima’s ability to find top-tier developers and the company’s competitive rates. When we spoke to him, he demonstrated that he could deliver for us.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent about $150,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve worked together since May 2020.

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

We’ve measured their success in terms of the velocity and quality of the products they’re delivering. They’ve consistently produced great results and always complete tasks on time. We give them well-documented requirements, and they deliver exactly to those specifications. Additionally, they’re willing to challenge us and use their technical expertise to drive us to the best possible solution. The quality of their code has helped us impress several customers. We plan to continue working with them on other projects.

How did MITRIX Technology perform from a project management standpoint?

They’ve been great. We agreed that our team would act as the primary project manager, but they’ve been great at operating in a hybrid agile-waterfall framework. Their team is very collaborative. We have daily standup meetings. Their developers have great English-speaking skills despite operating out of Belarus. We’ve had no budgetary issues either.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re great developers and offer a competitive price.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of anything. The only challenges have stemmed from the time zone difference, but that’s to be expected when working with an offshore firm.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Every project is different, but if you’re looking to leverage software development resources I’d recommend working with them. We have no complaints and no regrets about our work with them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CPO (chief procurement officer) of uQualio, which is a software company. We provide a video-based e-learning SaaS platform. It has learning and analytic functionalities.  

What challenge were you trying to address with MITRIX Technology?

We needed help with frontend development.

What was the scope of their involvement?

We’ve worked with them on two different tracks. The initial project involved scaling our frontend development resources. We provided them with specifications and information about our tech stack. MITRIX then came with a couple of candidates for the job. We chose a candidate who then started coding the frontend of our app.

Their developer manages a number of smaller and larger tasks involving our Angular-based app. It’s a single-page app built with JavaScript. His work involves maintenance and the creation of new features. He still supports us on a daily basis, fixing bugs and building features.

MITRIX also provided a UX expert who worked with us to make improvements to our platform’s layout, colors, and interactions. We specified our requirements, needing someone to point out our challenges who could also understand how a standard UI/UX may not fit our app. After giving him a brief, he created roadmaps and used Figma to show us how the platform could look. He also told us the challenges of the user journey inside the app. In addition, he collected assets such as fonts and headings. We then implemented a few of the ideas.

What is the team composition?

When specifying the job, we worked with the CEO and founder. We discussed the technical requirements of the contract. I chat with him twice a year about his peoples’ performances. I also talk with his assistant about the finances.

How did you come to work with MITRIX Technology?

I previously met the CEO. When we needed resources, I wanted more options for vendors and gave MITRIX an opportunity to bid on the work. They provided good candidates, so we’ve been working with them ever since.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent €50,000 (approximately $60,000 USD) on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our ongoing partnership started around March 2020.

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

MITRIX has managed to find people who match our requirements even for ad hoc work on an hourly basis. Their candidates were also available reasonably fast.

Regarding effort and turnaround times, MITRIX provides quality developers. They’re already knowledgeable, which cuts down the time necessary to explain how the platform should work. Their team is experienced and understands the app.

How did MITRIX Technology perform from a project management standpoint?

We run everything through ZooTrack. For planning, we use an agile board. All communication goes through Microsoft Teams. Their team meets deadlines. They’ll also work longer hours or on the weekends to ensure we prioritize important tasks. They’re nice people too.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They find quality people in a short period of time to help us. MITRIX offers consistent candidates who stick around.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, I can’t point to any areas for improvement.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

The clearer you describe your requirements, the easier it will be for MITRIX to the right person for you.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a company that provides software that manages the equipment for health care facilities across the country.

What challenge were you trying to address with MITRIX Technology?

We sought a company that could help us develop our software at a faster rate and at a scalable cost.

What was the scope of their involvement?

MITRIX mostly provides backend software development. However, they’ve recently done frontend software development for us too.

Basically, our software’s the complete picture. A patient or caregiver enters the system, reviews equipment, and orders an item. That order’s dispatched to the equipment’s provider. That’s then invoiced and billed through our software. MITRIX helped create the software for that complete workflow.

What is the team composition?

We work with six developers, including three lead developers and two frontend developers from MITRIX. We also work with their CEO and a billing person.

How did you come to work with MITRIX Technology?

Our CTO previously worked with Dmitry (CEO & Founder). We initially worked with their CEO as a consultant who then formed MITRIX. We then moved over to the company.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent close to $500,000 on their services.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with Dmitry in April 2015. With MITRIX, we started our ongoing engagement in June 2018.

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

We’ve never had a budget issue with them. MITRIX delivers projects to us on time. We haven’t had any issues with their response time, costs, or efficiency. Overall, their service exceeds our expectations.

The quality of their software’s good too. We’ve worked with multiple software firms and have our own developers here, so we’ve measured against them. From a cost perspective, it’s less money to engage MITRIX. They deliver similar, if not better, results, so it’s been a no-brainer for us.

How did MITRIX Technology perform from a project management standpoint?

The project management and coordination are done by us. We’re using Microsoft Azure, Asana, and Jira. They also communicate via GitHub. Their team’s flexible and understands our needs for communicating in different ways. MITRIX focuses on the development efforts.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They fit our culture, which enables us to work internationally. MITRIX operates like a fast-paced local firm. We also try to ensure that our working hours line up. For the most part, they’re great about hours. Their team has been great about projects that required them to work on our time. That hasn’t been an ongoing issue.

Are there any areas they could improve?

MITRIX could try to figure out better ways to work at the same time as the business supporting the development. It’s not always possible but it would be easier to work with them more if they made that a more consistent piece of their services. That would definitely help them expand their services.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Weave them into your operation as much as possible. There are cost savings when you’re engaging an offshore vendor. However, make sure you’re supporting them with either project management or development resources. As they continue to grow, you won’t need to keep any more resources to support them. Rather, they should be able to support that team.

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m co-founder and managing director of a German-based startup focused on digital signage and content distribution via social Wifi. We provide a complex solution for the digital TV-industry.

For what projects/services did your company hire Mitrix Technology?

Our app was not working properly, and there were a number of issues that needed to be redone. As we had little time, we needed someone who could fix the issues as soon as possible.

What were your goals for this project?

The main challenge was to have a working app by December 2018. And, of course, the main goal was to have a well-working and easily scalable software that we could provide to our clients.

How did you select this vendor?

We already had a software development partner for this project, but needed another partner when we found out that our Android app was crashing on our clients’ devices. I reached out to MITRIX Technology for help because I had known Natalia (Head of Business Development, MITRIX Technology) previously.

That was our first mutual assignment. Their team did a good job, solving the issue within a few hours. Being impressed with the quality of work provided, we decided to continue to work with MITRIX Technology on the frontend of our product as well as the Android components.

Describe the scope of their work in detail.

The main goal was to find the weak points in our system and provide solutions to fix them within a short period of time. For example, we had a digital player on Angular 5, but it did not work properly on Android devices. It was impossible to download and play two or more videos simultaneously.

During the code review, they suggested a totally new approach to rewrite the player from scratch. The new HTML-based player could stream custom web content “slides.” At the same time they’ve also improved the project architecture, since it was too complex and non-scalable initially, and have developed all of the frontend admin panels.

From an Android perspective, MITRIX Technology has rewritten our Android app to resolve serious errors. The app connects to custom Android-based TV-boxes. 

The scope includes: 

• Add automatic and manual update app 
• Improve stability 
• Add caching for slide 
• Change and improve logging (e.g., dump system logs) 
• Expand server's control (e.g. add schedule) 
• Rework logic loading and storage 
• Redesign UI/UX

What was the team composition?

We’ve been working directly with two senior frontend and Android developers as a core team. From time to time, we’ve added a few more resources when required to speed up the development process.

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

By launching a completely redone app within tight deadlines, we’ve been able to acquire new clients and have impressed our investors. Currently, we’ve been getting positive feedback and are now planning the next round of development.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

We have good communication channels, using Jira to set tasks for two-week sprints and track time. Plus, we have daily meet-ups, and their team members can easily jump onto a call or chat as required.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

MITRIX Technology does even more that we could expect from them! I like the level of quality development that they provide and how dedicated they are to our project. They strive to apply our business requirements to working software solutions. 

Are there any areas for improvement?

At the moment, I can’t mention any areas for improvement. Even if we’ve had any ongoing issues, we can easily discuss and overcome them.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and founder of a tech recruiting and consulting firm.

What challenge were you trying to address with Mitrix Technology?

We needed to augment one of our client’s existing UI design teams.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Our end client had a tight budget and strict timeline, so Mitrix Technology came on to help the internal team develop the UI for a product that helps analyze financial data in the marketplace. They were onboarded quickly and have done work in C#, JavaScript, and jsb.

What is the team composition?

We work with the founder and one developer.

How did you come to work with Mitrix Technology?

I’d worked with them before and knew they’d be a good fit for this job. We contacted them and one other company, but the other company took much longer to get back to us. Mitrix Technology was willing to do the work on our strict deadline, so we hired them.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $76,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We’ve been working together since June 2017, and the work is ongoing.

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

They’ve stuck to our tight timeline and have had excellent communication. If I ever have a staff augmentation need, I discuss it with them first because I know I can rely on them.

How did Mitrix Technology perform from a project management standpoint?

Our end client oversees most of the project management, but Mitrix Technology has been open and transparent. We always know what to expect from them and when. We communicate every day, mainly over Skype.

What did you find most impressive about them?

They’re willing to put in the time, attention, and effort to do a great job.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I can’t think of any ways they could improve. We’ve had an overall good experience.

Do you have any advice for future clients of theirs?

Have a conversation with them and really see what they can offer.

Introduce your business and what you do there. 

I’m the CEO of a software product company.

What challenge were you trying to address with Mitrix Technology?

We had a short term need for augmentation of our development staff. They were so good that we ended up turning over entire modules of the product to them to develop.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Mitrix Technology provided high-end software development skills in .NET and SQL Server. We had a complex application that consisted mostly of a UI, JavaScript, and a few other key components. We led the product management and the design. They would certainly suggest better designs during the process if there were any mistakes, penalties, or discrepancies. We worked in two week sprints in an agile approach and they produced features. 

What is the team composition?

They provided an account manager but we led the project management on our side. 

How did you come to work with Mitrix Technology? 

I can't remember where we found them but it was on a website where they had a profile. It might have been Clutch but I'm not sure. 

How much have you invested with them?

We spent in the neighborhood of $120,000.

What is the status of this engagement? 

The project took place roughly from March 2018–March 2019.

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

Their base level success was creating good modular code that’s extensible and maintainable. Mitrix Technology produced user-ready features every time. They provided good UI, which is super important these days. They were also solid on the frontend with the overall interaction between modules. They made good suggestions for ways to get different parts of the system working well together. 

How did Mitrix Technology perform from a project management standpoint?

They didn't do much in terms of project management. We used Azure DevOps to manage the project and we met with them on a daily basis. Mitrix Technology was excellent at communication and making sure that they met their deliverables. They let us know in advance about any vacations or time off, which helped us to plan our agile velocity. In addition to development support, the biggest thing that they did was help us to estimate accurately. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were aiming for quality code and Mitrix Technology definitely hit that mark. 

Are there any areas they could improve? 

No. I think they did well. 

Do you have any advice for potential customers? 

This isn’t specific to Mitrix Technology, but an agile approach is always good. It gets people together on a daily basis in order to make sure that everyone is on the same page. That's pretty typical in the industry. 

Please describe your company and your position there.
