Please describe your company and your position there.
The Regional Centre for Information and Scientific Development (RCISD) is an innovative SME, founded by scientists and R&D managers to carry out scientific research but also to manage R&D projects and to participate in coordination & support actions.
As a fast-moving actor, the flexibility of an SME makes it possible to identify and address real market needs and opportunities. RCISD is an “exchange place” between scientific knowledge and managerial skills which are brought together to establish mechanisms, provide services and set up and manage common activities.
RCISD also provides a forum where several organisations from different sectors can meet, exchange views and prepare themselves for joint R&D projects. With its resources and specialised tools RCISD aims to lower the barrier between ideas and implementation to make it easier for innovative players to exploit research results and contribute to the European Research Area and a sustainable European competitive position in global economy.
The backbone of RCISD is the qualification and experience of human resources having long-standing experience in project participation (both from the scientific and the management side) supported by the European Commission (since 1994).
As a well-established platform for regional and international cooperation RCISD is particularly interested in contributing to the development and integration of support strategies and decision-making practices in strategic international cooperation projects. Position: International Expert, Project Manager
For what projects/services did your company hire Wozify, and what were your goals?
Our goal was to build a new website for programme organisers of the Hungarian Researchers' Night, at the same time to offer a UX-friendly website for the audience - visitors, where they can browse, search from the programmes and register for the programmes where it was obligatory on a website that is visually attractive, fast and runs safe.
At the same time, we wanted to make sure, the partners offering programmes can create, edit, and publish programmes easily on a platform that is user-friendly and bug free.
How did you select Wozify and what were the deciding factors?
Wozify was recommended by one of our main partners. The deciding factor was that they have dealt with similar needs before, understood our goals quickly and were able to develop a website with such needs.
Moreover, they understood that the timeframe of the project is rather short. Also, they offered to work with us step by step, support our work by advice and explain the functions, process in a way that one without speaking the IT terminology could understand!
Describe the scope of work in detail, including the project steps, key deliverables, and technologies used.
First, we discussed our goals and went through our specification, then the website and platform were created with our continuous involvement and feedback. Then it was tested, finally handed over to the partners and made public to the visitors.
How many people from the vendor's team worked with you, and what were their positions?
Besides the CEO and the Chief Operating Officer, 3-4 developers, one UX expert.
Can you share any measurable outcomes of the project or general feedback about the deliverables?
The teamwork and communication were outstanding, the new website was created, we have received many positive feedbacks from the partners and visitors.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
We communicated online, using Google Meet; at the beginning 1-2 times in a month, later if necessary, more times a week. The communication was effective and good. The timelines visioned were not precisely met, and the main challenge was reshaping the project because of covid19.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
They are ready to solve anything :) Also, they think ahead, they have valuable feedback, a great amount of lessons learnt from previous projects, so they can help with constructive & practical advice.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
A website always brings up new problems, bugs, challenges that need to be solved, you have to plan the processes, routes, design, functions very carefully. There are so many things to consider; I would have planned it more thoroughly.
Sometimes tasks were left without a responsible colleague, so was left unsolved and later we realized, nobody took care of it and we had to solve it very quickly. From Wozify's part a main developer dropped out halftime, so a new developer had to take over the whole project.
He did very well, learnt everything quickly, but the takeover meant some delay from Wozify's part.

It has been awesome, they have delivered even more features than expected. They are really great and experienced and they came up with many ideas along the way, which have been implemented because they were really good ideas actually.
Describe their project management style, including communication tools and timelines.
It has been perfect, they are very easy-going people. You can communicate with them very easy and the communication has been perfect. Same for the timelines.
What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?
Their awesomeness according to the delivered product. It was very sophisticated technology and they did it very fast and well done. They are very creative and smart, and came up with new features! You can see that they really feel the project and put a lot of effort into it. They define themselves very well on their website, when they say that they cover the tech role within a startup.
Are there any areas for improvement or something they could have done differently?
I cannot tell anything negative about them, it would be very unfair.
Thanks to the efforts of the Wozify team, the company was able to move the project to completion and has been receiving several pieces of positive feedback from both partners and visitors. The teamwork between both parties is good and the company applauds the team's ability to solve anything.
