02.The Challenges

When they approached us, in 2015, they were facing a major issue trying to find the talent and expertise they needed timely.

They were looking for a tech partner to provide those resources, ready to jump to their team.

They sought mainly top-notch local talent in Java and Angular technologies.

03.The Solution

We are providing Java and Angular developers as staff augmentation, for both general software development and Gateway development.

During those years we expanded our collaboration and escalated the teams, providing more than 30 fully assigned people some years ago.

Currently, we have team members assigned to three different projects:

  • Merchant Order Portal: The front-end side of the existing portal was migrated from legacy technologies to Angular.

  • PayWare Connect: Development to continue updating the existing software and new APIs development.

  • Card Manage System: Gateway development in Java to manage transactions.

We have gone beyond technical development, giving strategic advice and collaborating to help Verifone meet its goals.

04.The Results

Since 2015, we have expanded our collaboration and escalated Verifone teams.

The long-term relationship is based on the results:

We have been able to scale their development teams as needed, in record time.

They got a perfect match both from a technical and a soft skills point.

Filling critical positions quickly with an outstanding retention rate, boosting their productivity and competitiveness, while increasing revenues.

Verifone enjoyed a reduction in the IT staff turnover rate which was compromising their growth and profit and eliminated the hassle and cost of rushing out to find replacements.

Testimonial

They are providing us with the resources we need timely, which is something very complex to do at the moment. They have managed to respect all of our requirements and schedules as well. As for deadlines, we manage the projects ourselves but their people always adapt very quickly and help us meet all of our goals.
