Software Team Augmentation

Digiteum was assigned to qualify several senior software, QA and DevOps engineers to strengthen the client’s development and support teams based in the US. Our goal was to find highly-qualified specialists who would seamlessly integrate into the client’s teams and could adjust to the West Coast working schedule.

We kicked off with one skilled DevOps engineer and further augmented the client’s team with senior full-stack and QA automation engineers who contribute to the development of the most critical parts of the web system.

Once we joined the project, the client could restructure their full-stack development teams and create an effective agile workflow that significantly accelerated project development (approx. 2x).

From the beginning of this collaboration, the client significantly increased the speed of development and could surpass delivery goals for 2021. In only one year, they:

• Completely rebuilt and deployed a new feature-rich web report editor
• Developed critical functionality for effective content creation and management (import, image edit, edit modes, publish, etc.)
• Added a range of collaboration and social features (sharing, collaborative writing, notifications, etc.)
• Integrated image import pipeline and localization tools for multilanguage support
• Enhanced user account and pages with new features and personalized content
• Improved on-site search engine
• Boosted performance and improved resource management by setting up a reliable and scalable cloud-based infrastructure
• Integrated modern engineering, testing, and deployment practices into the development process

This is the first software team augmentation experience for the client, and it turned out to be a complete success. The company seeks to expand collaboration with offshore/nearshore developers for the long term.

The client leverages large data sets from multiple data sources (social, search, sentiment, etc.), proprietary data pipelines, and forecasting algorithms to create quality trend insights and content.

Hundreds of market experts and analysts transform this data into drillable reports, visualizations, presentations and forecasts available to the platform’s customers on a subscription basis.

Customers access market analytics, trend reports and personalized content on a user-centered web portal equipped with a range of useful features — download, compilations, search, personal pages, etc.

• IT staff augmentation for a US-based tech team to speed up and enhance project deliveries and set up an effective agile development process.
• 3 senior engineers (full-stack, QA automation, DevOps) integrated into the client’s project to develop, test, and support an AWS-based web platform for trend analytics and forecasting.
• Modern tech stack, development frameworks and tools: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Storybook, GraphQL, AWS, Jenkins, Docker, New Relic, Elasticsearch, Selenium, Playwright, Locize.
• Latest engineering practices: CI, unit test, regression tests, etc.
