BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

CEO of a healthtech start up

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

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

We have a healthcare supply chain analytics platform and wanted to develop a set of supply chain workflow features, specifically a multiparty reconciliation module.

SOLUTION

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

We found them through search engines while looking for outsourced development shops with specific expertise in health care supply chain management. The latter was the critical factor but their rate structure utilizing both onshore and offshore resources was a positive.

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

The scope included a full outsourcing of the development of the reconciliation module as including back end database updates and integration into the existing application workflow. The project was a mix of waterfall and agile with detailed requirements documentation and screen mockups, while the development has been more agile with weekly stand ups.

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

There are three people on the core team, a SME, a senior architect and a technical delivery lead.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

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

The project is ongoing however individual deliverables such as the requirements document and wire frames have been high quality and produced on a timely basis. The main positive outcome has been the discovery of requirements and elimination of some requirements based on the SME/Architect's domain knowledge.

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

Project management is somewhat informal with spreadsheet tracking. They are very communicative and hands-on.

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

Domain knowledge.

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

Project tracking of time/fees against milestones.
