Their journey started in 2017, and now they are a dynamic group of professionals with diverse skills, spanning 7 locations, aiming to harness the power of inclusive thinking to unlock uncharted opportunities that positively impact the world.
The challenge
Amid a talent shortage, the client faced difficulty in securing software engineers with the expertise needed to handle their complex systems over an extended period. They required a skilled team capable of contributing to the sophisticated software they deliver to their customers.
As we joined this project mid-stream, our team needed to quickly adapt to the project's complex architecture, understand its wide-ranging functionalities, and seamlessly integrate with the existing development teams. It was crucial to collaborate with various stakeholders, understand their responsibilities, and align with the client's work methodologies - all while rapidly getting up to speed on the intricate software.
Harnessing the power of Big Data and Analytics
Our engineers became fully integrated into the client’s existing teams, working on a data platform that leverages big data to enhance mobility assets’ continuous development process. Through this platform, users can:
- Data Collection: Capture the data from a mobility asset for real-time analysis.
- Data Preparation: Enrich collected data with external sources and fill in any missing values to ensure completeness.
- Analysis and Training: Utilize advanced pipelines for big data analysis, auto-generate analytical results, and share/publish validated models.
- Exposure: Via dedicated UI, visualize results through customizable dashboards and expand queries by geographic location. Integrate seamlessly with R&D tooling via APIs, additional metadata, and download in multiple formats.
Collaborative Development Process
To ensure the project’s success, we embraced a structured and collaborative development approach:
- Daily Standups: To keep all teams aligned on progress and priorities.
- QA Teams: Guaranteed that each feature met the client’s high standards through rigorous testing and validation.
- 1-on-1 Meetings and Performance Reviews: Supported individual growth, ensuring the team was motivated and continuously improving.
- Team Spirit: Our culture fostered an environment where every member could count on support from their peers, ensuring that challenges were overcome together.
Key Results
Our team’s integration and contribution led to several key outcomes:
- Accelerated Development: Our team’s involvement increased the velocity of software development, allowing our client to meet deadlines more efficiently.
- Improved Collaboration: The synergy between our engineers and the client’s internal team strengthened communication, resulting in smoother coordination across all project aspects.
- Innovative Solutions: By expanding the platform’s capabilities, we helped the client optimize the platform, enhancing the user experience for their customers.
