Our Core OfferingExtremely Lean Approach To Custom Software Development
Essentially what we do is sit with the CTO, VP R&D or someone who runs you development team, take a look at the roadmap, discuss challenges and bottlenecks, look at the composition of the existing team and then put together a bespoke plan to help you reach your goals faster. The solution will mainly consist of a mix of full-time and part-time, onsite and offsite resources based on your requirements. This ensures a fast start, usually within a couple of days, and it avoids the headache of short-term contractors and long-term hiring. Let’s say you need a QA engineer for only 2 days a week. A lot of outsourcing companies will insist that you hire one full- time specialist who will sit on their hands for 60% of the time. With 8allocate, you only pay for what you need. We’ll provide you with the QA resource who’ll be working on your project for 2 days out of 5, and you’ll only pay for these 2 days of using QA.

Our Core OfferingWhat’s In It For You

• Solution: Dedicated Development Team
• Business Domain: Aviation
• Technology: ASP .NET
THE SITUATIONOBDS was looking to engage a professional external team to help with their Windows application and server development.
THE SOLUTIONOur team joined the OBDS in-house development efforts to update the existing architecture and introduce new features while removing persistent bugs. With a clear understanding of the client’s functional and non-functional requirements, we selected software engineers to join the project, and implemented high performance indexing solutions with full-text search capabilities along with several APls.
In addition, we’re helping OBDS conduct research on new 3D models and create another app to house aircraft maintenance manuals.
The development process comprised two parts: web application and Windows app implementation.
THE RESULTUpon scaling the client’s in-house IT department, our team implemented critical upgrades and introduced new features to the outdated flight documentation management web and mobile applications. Efficient collaboration framework resulted in a strong development performance.
