The Challenge

The challenge was to take over a complex software development project in mid stream without assistance from the previous software developers offshore.

The client needed a new partner whom they could trust. We had to establish confidence and this trust rapidly, and achieve some immediate business goals and milestones.

The Solution

Rapid design and documentation and brute force investigation of the code and the database architecture, in order to immediately provide value to the client.

The Benefits

The project is now back on track, the investors are confident and a series of milestones have been set for Code Authority to reach over the spring and summer of 2009.

Hotel Sourcing Alliance is now able to sell its platform with confidence, moving the business in a forward direction.
