At the time Red E App reached out to us they had already decided to rebuild and re-architect their platform so that it would be more extensible and more scalable and essentially more bulletproof for the types of customers they were attracting. REA had a lot of potential risk if the project was not developed correctly. Risk in not being able to scale up to capture the sales opportunities before them, and risk of affecting the performance of clients already on the platform
REA was looking for:
They had already started the restructuring process on their own, but were not moving with the the speed or with the expertise they needed.
Our solution was to provide REA with:
At the highest level, REA needed a CTO consultant. Our Chief Executive Developer, Randy Syring, started working with their team on a weekly basis training on the Agile Manifesto and how to manage two week sprints. This gave clarity to the developers on what they needed to execute on next, and kept the team in alignment with the real needs of the product users.
Jonathan Erwin, CEO of Red E App describes the experience as, “we were kind of making our way through the dark a little bit and hoping for the best outcomes. And I think what we needed to do was find somebody that could help us with the the proper expertise and guidance and kind of have a flashlight in the dark for us to get get through that time.”
“Randy is helping us not only continue to guide new ideas that come up, but also to shape how they should be deployed and prioritized in the business based on user behaviors. Those are things you just cannot buy from much larger outsourced companies.”
While the majority of our work in this project was CTO consultation, we also provided developers that worked alongside their existing team to seamlessly move their project forward.
“The platform that Randy helped us build is working in mines in Santiago, Chile, and nuclear power plants in Georgia, and the Tesla factory in Sparks, Nevada with Panasonic.
I know that they did an amazing job because we continue to want to work with them. We are continuing to look for work to integrate and extend our platform to other third party platforms as well and they’re helping us integrate some of those things, products like Salesforce.com or SAP etc.
So we need that outsourced development, help from someone that’s trusted, knows what they’re doing, can execute quickly, and do what they say they’re going to do. It’s just been a terrific relationship.” – Jonathan Erwin, CEO of Red E App
