How did you select Developers Shore and what were the deciding factors?
We chose Developers Shore because it was the right timing for the project and the availability of the certain competence we were looking for was hard to find. Our system is developed in a pretty unusual language called Clojure and it was difficult to find people to hire who had the right skills. It would have been a long process to hire the right consultant or alternatively the person would have had to learn the programming language as a part of the process. Now we got consultants with the right skills at the right time.
How did the collaboration with Developers Shore start?
They contacted us just as we were about to search for Clojure developer skills. We gave them the request and they presented two CV:s to Vitalii and Artem who ended up hiring for the project. The personal contact with Developers Shore has been minimal because everything is working out as we expect
Can you share some outcomes of the project so far?
At this point in the project, measurable outcomes is that the first version of the new system is going live soon, all core modules is in place and successful integration with existing systems.
What did you find most impressive or unique about Developers Shore?
What was found most impressive about Developers Shore is their dedication to understanding our business requirements, their ability to adapt to changing needs, their commitment to delivering good solutions.
