Project Details

Client deemed to have an Offshore team that can help them in there app development process and can coordinate with their counterpart to meet the development needs.

Problem

The client wanted to save the time that was being spent on the recruitment and training of personnel as per the business specifications
The client had already outsourced the deployment and the server end work to another vendor and it was becoming difficult to coordinate between the team due to time zone differences and was resulting in an unwilling delay
Employee churn was another major factor that was the concern as they were facing around 30 % Churn rate which was highlighted as a risk to the developmental cycle
The client was looking forward to a Monthly Model Plan with the leisure to Scale it Up and Down as per the need basis

Our Approach

In 2020 Client partnered with Bigoh’s team, formed up a road map to achieve a better coordination among the different POD’s i.e. the Team working on the server end and prepare a risk mitigation plan for the delay that Product Management team was envisioning
Bigoh initially came into a trial engagement of 1 month with 2 Android and 2 iOS resource, flexibility to scale up and down the resource count was accounted in the contract
Bigoh’s resources acted as POD 2 and successfully coordinated with POD 3 which resulted into a No break development cycle
Bigoh’s resources were initially deployed for the Ongoing projects only but within 3 months of the engagement the maintenance project were awarded to be managed by Bigoh resources

Benefits

The major benefit of this engagement turned out into freeing up the key resources and eventually helped the client in focusing on the core business i.e. Petrochemicals
The engagement resulted out into ~30 % cost cost reduction for client apart from time saving
Round the clock uptime was achieved and the average closing time of any Most severe issue was 8 Hrs
There was no Administrative burden as all the support tasks for developers were taken care off
Engagement resulted into opening up new business opportunities from Suncor as well such as existing Project maintenance
