Introduction:

A company in the field of data acquisition from IT sensors was planning the further development of a self-developed system and needed additional developer resources with various specialist skills.

challenge of the company:

Our client was unable to fill the vacant IT positions itself as there were not enough qualified applicants. Although the company had already opened up to remote working, no suitable IT specialists could be found, even with the expansion of the catchment area and extensive recruitment measures. There was also no internal capacity to drive forward the further development of the system.

Goals:

• Staffing with qualified IT experts
• Go-live with new system on budget and on schedule

Solution:

• Short-term staffing according to customer requirements with one front-end developer and one Java back-end developer.
• The IT coordinator we provided ensured the seamless integration of the placed developers into the client’s existing IT team.
• Close cooperation between the mediated developers and the internal IT team on the customer side, as the areas and tasks were interdependent.
• After the go-live, the front-end developer was reduced to part-time (2 days per week) after 3 months in accordance with the agreement in order to complete subsequent adjustments and integrations.

Result:

The enhanced system was put into operation on schedule and within budget on the planned release date.

Conclusion and outlook:

The remote developers we provided were seamlessly integrated into the client’s existing IT team with the support of our IT coordinator. The Java developer will continue to be employed full-time after completion of the project to work on other internal IT projects.

During the collaboration, the client had a short-term need for additional Java development and asked for another remote Java developer to join the existing IT team for a period of 3 months. The client immediately received CVs of suitable candidates from us. After video interviews and test tasks, the Java developer selected by the client started work on the agreed start date.

The client is currently working successfully with two remote Java developers in collaboration with an IT coordinator from Insivio. The onboarding of the additional Java developer as well as the general cooperation between the customer’s IT staff and the booked Java developers is running efficiently and smoothly. The frequency of daily meetings with the IT coordinator, who was provided free of charge, was therefore reduced to two days a week.
