Business need
Since 2000 this company has made IT easy for businesses across the North West of the United Kingdom. Based in Manchester, the company focuses on high quality IT services and software products. They provide IT consultancy, software, systems integration and outsourcing services to Small Medium Enterprises.
The company focuses heavily on software and website development. They have years of programming experience, creating a leading HR Software Package, successfully deployed by several high-profile companies. Due to success, further growth and the strategic decision to increase cost effectiveness of their business, the company wanted to grow their team by adding dedicated nearshore specialists.
Challenge
The most challenging part was to find the right people, with deep knowledge and significant experience in such leading edge technologies, as .NET 4, Silverlight 4, WCF and WPF. Another challenge was to find people with such a high level of self organization and seniority, as to maintain the highest quality level, which the company demonstrates.
Solution
Binary Studio professionals succeeded in offering the most appropriate candidates in the team, with excellent knowledge of the required technologies, both theoretical and practical, and outstanding organizational capabilities.
However, though we were sure of the candidate we offered our client, we agreed to run a test period. Additionally we offered very low prices for this first resource, to begin cooperation with this company. We did it to make the customer feel comfortable that their risks were minimized. Now we have worked together for a considerable period of time and cooperation has proven to be a success, to the point where additional resources can be added.
