Feedback summary: 

The app is still under development, but NMG Technologies has delivered high-quality work so far. Conscientious and accessible, the team allows the project to run smoothly thanks to frequent communication, quick response times, and a willingness to go above and beyond in effort.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of a social networking startup who’s goal is to bring innovation to the world. We focus on new ways to network and getting to know the people that make up the world around us. I oversee the development of our technologies as well as handle marketing and technical matters within the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NMG Technologies?

We had an idea that we wanted to bring into the world. We had the idea fully fleshed out and ready to go but needed a solid team as we had no in house developers.

What were your goals for this project?

We needed to produce a high quality app with a complex back end. We wanted to make sure the UI was smooth, seamless, and easy to use while providing a powerful service to users.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I did extensive research on software development companies to ensure we would have a great team working on our project. Reviews from Clutch.co provided valuable information. The research kept pointing to NMG.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

I reached out to NMG and they were very responsive. Once in communication with them, I explained the concept and they fully understood it. Once the clock tract was drafted and signed, development began. They gave their input on the UI design and we were very pleased with what the team came up with. After working out the finer details of the UI, the more technical development work began. NMG was fantastic and very attentive. They made sure everything was done correctly and running smoothly. NMG continues to display high effort and high quality work as I continue to work with them.

What was the team composition?

The team consists of a general project manager who makes sure things are running smoothly. There are also heads of each task such as design that oversee the team that specializes in those specific tasks.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

This project has allowed us to bring our ideas to reality. Not only has it been a great learning experience for us, but it has brought us closer to our goal of connecting the world in a new and unique way. As the app continues in its development, the technology allows us to use high quality features to connect with others.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

The project managers were very attentive and responsive to inquiries. They wanted to make sure things were progressing smoothly and that we were happy. They showed an obvious passion for the project and continue to show the same passion. I have been very pleased with project management.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

NMG Technologies puts a very high level of effort into their work and is very attentive. The team was available and really went out of their way to make sure we were happy. Their passion for the project really showed as they would bend their schedule to match with ours. Their above and beyond effort is incredibly appreciated and has made the project very enjoyable to work on.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The team has been nothing but amazing. There is often a trade off between development time and quality. Thankfully the team and I both share the same preference of quality. I am very happy working with them and look forward to continuing my work with them.

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of a commercial lending platform that recently soft-launched in 2019.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NMG Technologies?

We hired NMG Technologies for design, front- and backend development, and administrative application of our web platform.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to develop a two-sided marketplace that also allows users to store and share documents.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed seven vendors to assess their experience, skills, and cost. We determined NMG Technologies to be the best fit for our project.

Describe the project and the services they provided in detail.

We first worked closely with NMG Technologies for about a month to prepare a functional specification document (FSD) outlining the platform, features and functionalities, solutions, and timeline of each milestone for the project. 

Once we had the final FSD, we moved onto mockup designs of each page. We then created an HTML prototype that we could test and provide feedback before the full backend development. 

Simultaneously, NMG Technologies worked on the back-office platform that we can test on a weekly basis. Once the backend development and administrative platform were finished, we released beta versions for final testing before the launch.

What was the team composition?

The team consisted of a project manager, an account manager, a creative designer, a frontend HTML developer, two web developers, and a quality assurance manager.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?

NMG Technologies is very easy to work with and completed each milestone as scheduled, which helped us launch as we originally planned. We also had to make minor changes during the project that fell outside of the original scope; however, NMG Technologies is very understanding and made all the changes at a very reasonable fee. 

Lastly, the team is very quick to fix all of the bugs that we found during the beta testing. After the development was done, we decided to hire NMG Technologies for ongoing maintenance of the site.

How was project management arranged and how effective was it?

We use Zoho as our communication tool to share progress and issues, and we use Skype for weekly conference calls. Overall, the team as a whole is very responsive. They guided us expertly through each milestone.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

The quality and speed with which NMG Technologies addresses any issues that we come across stands out to us. We have direct communication with all of the team—including the project manager, designer, and developers—which really helped us to track the progress each week and stay on top of the project.

Are there any areas for improvement?

The only minor issue that we had during our project was our time zone differences. But NMG Technologies was very flexible and worked around my schedule. We are very glad to have partnered with NMG Technologies.

Feedback summary: 

Although the platform looked attractive, the development process was plagued by miscommunication. NMG Technologies altered prices listed in the contract and failed to clearly specify which features lay within the original scope of work. 

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CEO of a pageant resource and directory. 

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NMG Technologies?

We hired NMG Technologies to build a new website from scratch using custom code.

What were your goals for this project?

Our goal was to create a logical, organized platform that increased the profitability of our company.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I researched for vendors on Google and stumbled upon their site. I liked their branding, which was a strong selling point for me, and enjoyed their sales pitch.

Describe the project in detail.

They created a database and directory. In addition to these key features, they designed a paid membership into which advertisers could buy at various levels to unlock features. Using the website, pageants can highlight certain contestants and each constituent can manage their own profile.

What was the team composition?

I worked with two or three people.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The site looked good, and its branding was strong.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Their communication was poor and they didn't understand my needs. For example, at one point I found a glitch. When I added a constituent to the pageant, their profile didn't appear on the event page. NMG Technologies said that automatically populating the content of one profile into another was outside the scope. 

To me, the scope indicated that new constituents would appear on both their own profile and on the event profile. I knew that most of my fans wouldn't take the time to fill out both profiles, especially if their pageant had thousands of participants, and that the directory would look incomplete. They repeatedly stated that this concern was outside the scope, that the solution had already been developed, and that building a feature that automatically curated data would take additional hours. 

After I approved those hours, their CEO wanted to change the method of payment to wire transfer. I said it was more convenient for me to send a check, but they said they needed the payment urgently because of a holiday. I couldn't justify spending extra time and money when I could pay by check instead. Eventually, they added a charge to process the check. The proposal said their check processing fee was $15, but they said the amount had increased. Eventually they just sent an invoice that included the original fee. 

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was most impressed by their sales pitch.

Are there any areas for improvement?

They should improve their communication, eliminate surprise costs, and never pressure clients to pay using a different method because money is tight. That's not professional. NMG Technologies would work for companies that need a simple website or traditional e-commerce store, but they don't have the structure to execute complex sites that require a lot of planning and collaboration.

The Review
Feedback summary: 

NMG Technologies set high expectations but did not live up to their promises. There were several issues with Bluetooth connectivity, data security, user navigation, and missing features. Several development errors couple with unprofessional customer service led to an unfulfilling partnership.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I am the CEO of ProtectApp LLC, an IT company that develops custom security solutions.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NMG Technologies?

We were hoping to develop a suite of security apps for religious institutions, but we needed more development resources to complete the project.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

In addition to building the suite of security apps for Android and iOS, NMG Technologies was responsible for designing the accompanying marketing website and admin panel. Bootstrap and Laravel were used to develop the platforms.

The apps were supposed to use indoor location services via Bluetooth beacons, which could be managed with the admin panel. We also wanted to integrate a few emergency tools that allow users to contact local police departments and track their response times.

What is the team dynamic?

We had one point of contact.

How did you come to work with NMG Technologies?

Our hiring decision was based on their affordable pricing and their positive reviews on Clutch and other websites. Their salesperson’s positive attitude was also very influential.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent $30,000 on the engagement. 

What is the status of this engagement?

The project began in November 2018 but was terminated early in March 2019.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

How did the partnership with NMG Technologies evolve?

Our goal was to create a simple, elegant, refined, and intuitive product, but NMG Technologies didn’t meet expectations. Overall, we received an inoperative admin panel, unusable apps, and an incomplete website. The Android app is not able to store login information or connect to Bluetooth beacons. There is a bit more functionality on the iOS app, but there are occasional issues with connectivity. It is also impossible to configure beacons on the admin panel because the IDs are not compatible.

Although we parted ways with NMG Technologies, we’re still resolving issues from the partnership. They wouldn’t give us access to the server without a hefty payout, which put us at a more significant loss. The app was hacked, and our Plivo account was compromised because the app wasn’t secure. The development has been halted due to the security breach.

How was project management handled?

There appeared to be no logic behind their development process. When voicing our concerns with their work, the project manager became extremely confrontational. They told us they would be using Zoho to manage the project, but I could never find what I was looking for on Zoho.  The scope of the FSD only required that I inform them of issues via email, so I switched to that process, which they did not like.

Making requests for edits fell on deaf ears and simple requests were rejected as outside the scope of the FSD.

Is there anything that the vendor did well or that you would consider a strength?

Their work did not match the quality of their sales pitch.

In what specific areas can they improve?

The project manager was effective in meeting deadlines but not very helpful in other areas. All of our questions and concerns were met with opposition, and our requests were vehemently denied.

What advice do you have for clients with similar needs to yours?

I would not recommend working with them.

Company response

The vendor responded on April 26, 2019.

With due respect, we believe this review misrepresents our capabilities and track record. The project was a fixed bid with an agreed-to scope with milestone payments. The client was to review each deliverable and release payment only after due approval.

As a startup, the client had everchanging ideas, especially since this was their first security technology application project. During the engagement, we humbly accommodated feedback and change requests. This process included regular updates and three weekly Zoom meetings. We recommended our project management system, but the client decided on email, citing it would not be possible to use that solution.

We are disappointed in the client’s expectation that they should get complimentary changes after the project ended. This was a result of their showcasing the app to different stakeholders. We found that unprofessional and disappointing.

Our team—especially our project managers—have always been humble, responsible, and conscientious about feedback.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I am the founder of 4bar. It is a music app that is about to launch globally on the App Store.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NMG Technologies?

Initially, we needed a partner to help fix a sound issue with the app.

What were your goals for this project?

We wanted to launch a problem-free app with solid and reliable performance capabilities.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

We interviewed many agencies who seemed to lack the proper knowledge and understanding to complete our project. After NMG quickly fixed our sound issue, we decided to bring them on for the entirety of the project. We based this decision on their responsiveness and experience in the industry.

Describe the project in detail.

The team tackled a variety of our needs. NMG provided bug fixes, additional development, and other services necessary to prepare the app for its launch.

What was the team composition?

I am not positive, but I think we mainly worked with a project manager, head developer, and a team of additional resources for testing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

They completed each task within the promised time. Their fixes and additional efforts allowed us to launch 4bar in the App Store.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

Every team member was extremely responsive, receptive, and approachable. They communicated efficiently and proactively shared updates to assure we were completely satisfied with the final result.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

I was most impressed by their level of knowledge. They were able to address a seemingly rare issue that stumped a lot of other app development teams we spoke with. Additionally, the team was very kind and a pleasure to work with.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I have no complaints.

Feedback summary: 

NMG Technologies delivers high-quality custom solutions that increase optimization of business operations. Their team is committed to success, working over weekends to meet deadlines. Their willingness to face unforeseen challenges at an economical price makes them a valuable partner.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I work for a marketing research firm that incentivizes consumers, business owners, insurance producers, financial advisors, and mortgage brokers across the US and Canada to forward all the direct marketing they receive. We scan and convert that data into an optical character recognition (OCR) searchable PTD and upload it into our database. We sell subscription access to our data that allows our clients to see their competition from a direct marketing perspective.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NMG Technologies?

We were previously working with a Chicago-based web development vendor, and we outgrew that relationship. We were looking for a vendor who could help maintain our current application, while also helping us grow into the future.

 

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

NMG creates all kinds of technical solutions. Initially, NMG was integral in helping us migrate to AWS from a project management perspective. They guided us on how our app was going to fit with AWS.

More recently, their team designed and implemented a mail-copy identification software. It scans and gets rid of duplicate copies of mail and ads we receive to increase operational efficiency. Their developers currently provide ongoing maintenance and help us rebrand our website.

What is the team composition?

We work with four full-time developers, one part-time project manager, one part-time QA, and one full-time system administrator.

How did you come to work with NMG Technologies?

We reached out to ten companies and five returned our calls. NMG was one of those companies and incredibly responsive. From the time that we submitted our request for information, they answered back within the hour. They also quickly understood our requirements.

How much have you invested with them?

We invested $350,000 thus far.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started in August 2016 and the work is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

Compared to the vendor we were previously using, NMG’s quality and output have been excellent. Hiring them has been probably one of the best business decisions we've made as a company. Their affordability, availability, expertise, and willingness to go above and beyond have had a tremendous on the optimization of our business services thus far.

How did NMG Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

During our migration, we were on the phone every single day for seven months. From there, we gradually decreased the amount of communication. We now talk over Skype or the phone once a week or whenever we need them. They have highly talented, responsive, and highly-capable individuals managing our project. English is their second language, but nothing’s ever lost in translation. I've actually visited them in New Delhi, and they were great.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We’re impressed by their willingness to go above and beyond. Whenever unforeseen challenges come up, they work with us over countless weekends to make sure we succeed. They make sure everything is high-quality, done on time, and within our budget. Compared to our previous vendor, they don’t charge us for every little thing and provide great value.

Are there any areas they could improve?

They could add some additional expertise on their staff to become an indispensable vendor. If they had some digital differential analyzers (DDA) or cloud engineers, I wouldn’t have to go to another vendor.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Make sure you fully understand your vision and communicate it well. Have the patience to go through the requirements and take it to step by step. Have the flexibility to know that things will not always go according to plan. As long as you have very clearly defined requirements and expectations, you can ensure a successful project.

Feedback summary: 

The app is fully developed and is launching next week. NMG Technologies communicates well over the phone and through writing, and are open to feedback. They take time to understand business operations and are quick to troubleshoot any issues.  

The client submitted this review online.

BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I’m the Vice President of Sales for Telemark Diversified Graphics. We’re a wholesale printer and converter of thermal paper rolls used for ATM and POS receipts, as well as parking, mobile, kiosk, and medical purposes.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire NMG Technologies?

We wanted to create an easy way for our distributors to access stock pricing and place orders. We also needed a tool that would allow distributors to accurately request pricing for custom products as well as place orders.

What were your goals for this project?

My goal was to create a tool in which pricing could be adjusted easily, stock items could be ordered simply, and custom RFQs could be submitted.

SOLUTION

How did you select this vendor?

I requested several proposals. Although NMG was not the cheapest, their proposal was the most detailed.

Describe the project in detail.

Once we selected NMG, they took a lot of time to understand our business model, which is not easy. They then asked many direct questions about our operation and our goals. They submitted a written proposal outline, which needed almost zero modifications. After that we agreed to the timeline, which was followed throughout design and implementation.

What was the team composition?

We worked with several people from NMG’s team.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

We're preparing to launch the developed application next week.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

They communicate well in writing and on phone calls. They were very responsive and able to make adjustments and troubleshoot very quickly.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Their level of understanding of our business model really stood out to us. I often said that they understand our operation better than our own employees do.

Are there any areas for improvement?

I wish they were in a closer time zone. I didn't mind the 8am EST calls, but this would be my only thought.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

Our company provides a freelance marketplace with a focus on creative jobs like mobile and web design. We work with entrepreneurs looking to hire talent and vice versa, offering secure payment functionalities.

I am the founder and Executive Director.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NMG Technologies?

We had used other development companies and had a bad experience.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

NMG Technologies not only developed the technical aspects of our web-based .NET platform but also consulted us on the business side. We haven't developed mobile versions of it.

We have worked with 6-8 resources from NMG Technologies, including a project manager, designers, and different types of developers.

How did you come to work with NMG Technologies?

I found NMG Technologies on clutch.co, after looking at a number of companies. I chose NMG Technologies because they understood the startup field and what it entails in terms of technology and business strategy. The founders and principals of NMG Technologies are also developers, which is a big advantage for the company.

How much have you invested with NMG Technologies?

The total cost of our project with NMG Technologies was $59,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with NMG Technologies in January 2016. The platform has been completed after a 6-7-month development time and currently runs in demo mode. We will launch it soon.

NMG Technologies produced very good quality, and the results were better than I expected.

How did NMG Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

NMG Technologies is a dedicated and committed company. They were by my side not only on the technical work but also on the business side, providing a point of view on issues of marketing.

Are there any areas NMG Technologies could improve?

No. Everything was better than expected.

By consistently delivering high-quality work, NMG Technologies contributed to an effective and greatly improved website. The agency earned praise for their cutting-edge design strategies, thorough research, and willingness to implement feedback.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We are a small software company specialized in Photoshop plug-ins. We also offer image consulting. We sell our software directly through the company website.

I am one of the partners of the company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with NMG Technologies?

We inherited an older website from a previous startup in which I was involved. We needed to modernize the page and make it compatible with our brand and products.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

NMG Technologies worked based on our previous website. We wanted to modernize the stack and design, so we used newer technologies. Much of the content from our previous page was used, but not the images.

We worked with a designer from NMG Technologies for the first half of the project, defining what we wanted to have done. NMG Technologies also assigned a team leader to our work. It's hard to say how many other people were involved, as I mostly communicated with the designer and project manager.

How did you come to work with NMG Technologies?

I looked at local companies and interviewed some of them. I didn't like the first impressions that I received, so I started looking at a platform for development resources. I found NMG Technologies, had a few meetings with them and found their company to have the best abilities in terms of graphics work.

How much have you invested with NMG Technologies?

The total cost of our project with NMG Technologies was around $12,000, which was in the range initially estimated.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working with NMG Technologies in May 2015. Our website was launched at the beginning of 2016. We have an internal team that handles maintenance for the site, so we're not using NMG Technologies at the moment. I wouldn't hesitate to contact them in the future.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?

I am very pleased with our website's features. Our front page has a before-and-after functionality, showcasing our products. Users can hover over the images and use a slider to switch between the two versions. This isn't a unique functionality in itself, but it stands out compared to competitors' websites. I was very pleased with NMG Technologies' work.

We haven't had any maintenance problems at all. There was never a time when I thought that I was overcharged, even though we worked on an hourly contract with NMG Technologies. I never disputed their work.

How did NMG Technologies perform from a project management standpoint?

I initially collaborated with 2 executives from NMG Technologies, after which we were assigned a designer. Once that work was completed, I worked with their project manager and the team. I was pretty much isolated from the team, which was fine for me. Our manager handled the project very well.

We used Skype for communication and InVision along with Photoshop mockups for prototyping. NMG Technologies designed almost the entire website using InVision, allowing me to approve and comment on the work.

What did you find most impressive about NMG Technologies?

The reason for choosing NMG Technologies was that their designs were more modern. They also had a better grasp of the problem that I described, actually coming back with a proposal that made sense, instead of simply saying that they could take care of it. NMG Technologies' written proposal covered all our bases. Other companies that I looked at were not as professional, and simply gave me generic estimates.

Are there any areas NMG Technologies could improve?

I was overall happy with NMG Technologies. Because we were working remotely, I was overly cautious about how they would perform, but I was pleasantly surprised with NMG Technologies. They were good at isolating their junior resources, so I always dealt with a project manager.

Because NMG Technologies is based in India, our holidays differed from each other. I never knew exactly what their work schedule was. NMG Technologies should make that clearer to customers.

Feedback summary: 

NMG Group impressed by developing a thorough strategy and communicating effectively with the previous developer. They were stepped into an unfinished, poorly executed project and delivered an outstanding product for launch. Their professionalism, organization, and timely delivery set them apart.

A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.

BACKGROUND

Our company is a startup business intelligence cloud-based product designed for the fashion apparel sector initially, but will also be developed for the retail sector in general.

The company was founded in 2014 in Melbourne, Australia and is privately held. Its directors have expertise in technology/software in the retail sector and also executive level fashion apparel industry expertise. The software application is still under development and will have many further iterations over time. The market for this product is global with the major markets being Australia, USA, UK, and Europe.

The software application consists of collecting e-commerce data of selected retailers from the internet and compiling the data in such a way that relevant analysis of the data can be performed by the customer by way of filters. This software product provides the user with business intelligence for their market.

BENEFITS TO THE CUSTOMER

  • Make well-informed buying decisions with ease using our analytics reports.
  • Gain critical insight into your competitor’s range, pricing, markdown, and delivery activity.
  • Work more efficiently with less time spent on manual comp shopping.
  • Empower your team with the knowledge to make quick decisions.
  • Take data wherever you go, with access to report history on any device.

BE MORE EFFICIENT

Knowing what your competitors are doing is paramount, but manual comp shopping can be laborious. Our product reduces the time spent on comp shopping by keeping you updated on the activity of your nominated retailers. Receiving updates as and when things change in your market, you are able to quickly assess the impact on your sales and adjust your own range accordingly. Leaving you more time to focus on what you do best.

BE MORE INFORMED

With accurate, up to date statistics at hand on any device, you are instantaneously able to back-up your buying decisions with data. Our archives are easily accessible, making it easy for you to answer queries, share insights with colleagues or collate statistics presentations at the touch of a button.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

Our product was largely complete notwithstanding some bugs and a few remaining enhancements. Our local developer in Australia proved to be somewhat deceptive in terms of their apparent lack of skill level and professionalism. This unfortunately resulted in totally unacceptable excuses and delays which impacted our ability to achieve a minimum viable product [MVP]. This was a frustrating and expensive exercise.

In situations such as this, the dilemma is whether or not to persist with the existing team and try to get a MVP before moving on, or transitioning prior which carries with it many issues. The issues are predictable and in our case included average documentation, splintered relationships, and unenthusiastic support at handover. Our application also includes dealing with external providers of technology on a global basis. This of course is a challenging situation for a new development team, and something that should be considered with great care.

We spoke with over a dozen developers from all over the world with wide ranging variations in speed/ability of communication, pricing, enthusiasm, and value add on a long term basis. NMG were a real breath of fresh air. Immediately upon contacting them, we had booked in a detailed conference and openly discussed the issues and predicament we faced. NMG provided a level of assurance and comfort in their abilities that others could not match. NMG was totally understanding of the inherent issues with taking over a project from another developer who is likely to be disgruntled and uncooperative. NMG was fast, responsive, thorough, and very organized in relation to pre handover and of course during the handover.

The initial scope of corrective and enhancement work is now complete to our satisfaction and we are very happy with the service and costings provided.

SOLUTION

NMG commenced handover with the outgoing developer and in the process, we discovered many issues that were not disclosed to us by the previous group. This, of course, is not desirable as a new team requires time to familiarize itself with a new application. As we had hoped, NMG was very confident and professional, and despite these roadblocks, they were more than capable of resolving any issues both known or yet to come.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

Suffice to say, the current scope is now complete together with some further enhancements, and we are now at a MVP and due to launch. We are very happy with NMG and consider them our technology partner going forward. They are very responsive, prompt, and professional and we have no hesitation recommending NMG.
