We engaged a team of developers for our fintech project, the team consisted of 5 developers, 2 Senior Python developers and 3 Senior React developers. The initial task was to write a SaaS MVP system for risk management in the banking industry. At this stage the project is developing and has already left the MVP stage.

The brightest indicator of the success of our project and cooperation with OGDSolutions developers is that we have successfully implemented the MVP version of the project and the project began to develop further. And now the OGDSolutions development team continues to work on the project and most likely we will increase the team in the future.

Initially, when we were looking for an outstaffing partner we planned that the whole project management will be with us, as we have a great experience in building projects.

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

I would like to note a few things that we met for the first time in the outstaff company. The first is their account manager, who doesn't cost us anything, but he is like a buffer between us and OGDSolutions developers, he will always help in any situation. Also they have recently added an option to buy out developers on very interesting terms, and most likely we will use this option to keep the team that makes our project from scratch.

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

During the whole period of cooperation there was nothing significant that we were not satisfied with. We are satisfied with their service.
