Challenge
Tiba Technologieberatung GmbH has developed expertise in a new project management platform based on Java and JavaScript technologies. Projects were to be acquired which would be realized on the basis of these technologies. Due to the good project situation in the company, further specialists were needed to implement these projects. It was not clear what the long-term demand for projects in this specific area would be. Therefore, the decision was made to look for a long-term development partner who could train competent specialists and provide them flexibly according to demand.
Solution
On the basis of the technological as well as linguistic requirements of Tiba Technologieberatung GmbH, we identified an employee who could play a leading role in the area of the mentioned project management platform as a developer. The selected senior full-stack developer, who has proven himself over several years in various Java and JavaScript projects at multiple Astec clients, was introduced to Tiba Technologieberatung GmbH and received a positive evaluation. The employee took part in a training in Germany to build up the required know-how about the project management platform. Thus, he was able to join the internal team of Tiba Technologieberatung GmbH in a timely manner and successfully apply the acquired know-how in practice in the first development project.
Results
Astec completed the project within the budget estimated by the client and on time. The use of fixed prices during the introductory phase allowed the client to have a cost guarantee.
Thanks to our participation in the costs of the first training via the project management platform, the client was able to achieve a reduction in training costs. In addition, thanks to our existing know-how, we are now able to train additional specialists in-house, further reducing the client’s training costs.
In the end, the client was able to achieve a project-related increase in profitability. This is possible because the development services required for project implementation are booked only when required and for a specific period of time. In addition, they are delivered in Poland, which results in lower daily rates than in Germany — while meeting all quality and effectiveness criteria.
Testimonial
We plan to leverage their resources in multiple upcoming projects and extend our partnership on other technological stacks as well.”
