The results

Close cooperation between the Pentalog and client teams made this project a success. Pentalog’s developers visited the offices of the client and received training there which greatly helped to integrate the team. The training was also necessary because the client’s software is very specific. The solution was in Java but did not use any framework. Pentalog’s developers needed to learn how to work with the client’s API in order to create custom solutions.

The client was pleased with Pentalog’s ability to quickly react to their recruitment needs, even though they required that all the coders be senior Java developers. With over 1,100 full-time developers, Pentalog was able to find the profiles they needed and ramp the team up and down on demand. They also appreciated the flexibility of our developers, as the client cycled them between a number of short-term projects with a variety of different requirements.

On-site steering committee meetings also helped to make this project a success. Pentalog’s project managers went to the client’s offices in person every four months to hold these meetings. Close communication and collaboration are necessary for the success of all outsourcing projects and both sides made an effort to stay in contact.

Overall the client has given us positive feedback and this multi-year project is continuing today. One thing that has helped over the years is that the client gives each of our team members individual feedback. Personalized feedback helps them to improve their performance on this project and as developers in general. Our teams will continue working together to make this energy management software project a success.
