Success Stories

Delivered by: SORINTians

FlatShape – Open-source Teleworking All-In-One Solution

Software Development From Ground Up

1) Challenge

Requirements included:

A vender independent single-solution for teleworking.
Desktop, Web, and mobile solutions.
Shall include modern and all needed functionalities to facilitate working remotely.
All features shall be vendor-free.
Open-source.

2) Goind forward

The investigation phase kicked-off adhering to the scrum methodology. Through a scum master, product owner, and a senior tech leader all collaborating with a goal of composing the product backlog.

3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

SThe development kick-off phase started after few sprints with several agreed aspects, as an example:

Project’s milestones and the priority of the functionalities.
Technology stack and the specialists(developers) needed for the project.
Matrix protocol using Synapse.
Pilot projects for experimentation, for functionalities with high complexity.
Sircle Application Performance to carry out all the testing activities. Functional testing, UAT, etc
Developed and assessed the usability of various mockup through usability/user testing activities.

Result & delivery (UTD)

Achieved all planned milestones.
Delivered first major release of the solution that includes all priorities functional and non-functional requirements.
Bypassed all challenges related to team collaboration and workflow.
Project is still under-development and will be available on Sorint’s public repository shortly after a stable-release is issued.

Well-known Digital Transformation Group

Modernization

1) Challenge

Refactor, modernize, and introduce new functional and non-functional requirement to the current system.

High complexity of the existing system.
Comply with internal and external regulation.
20 years-old legacy software.
Limited resources.
Complex functional requirement due to the nature of the industry.

2) Goind forward

Understanding the requirements, code, & environment.

3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

To avoid misconception, Sorint submitted a POC that included a prototype of the new design, core features, UX, work/data flows, and the system configuration. Plus, the proposed technology stack. Angular with NGRX, microservices for the BE using Java & GO, integration with AWS for hosting, Docker/Kubernetes, Postgress, Keycloak for authentication, etc. The comprehensive view of the proposal was met with approval from the client’s side.

Result & delivery (UTD)

Within the agreed timeframes, a high-quality software product that fully complied to all pre-planned requirements. E.g.

Multi-functional user role system.
Improved user interface.
Optimized performance.
Quality code due to code reviews strategy.

Digital Currency & Wallet

Hybrid Mobile Application

1) Challenge

Client’s requirement included:

A solution that manages virtual currency exchange between thousands of users.
Core functionalities were clear, whereas supplementary ones were uncertain.
Tied deadline. Client intended to introduce the solution during an annual corporate event.
IOs, Android versions.

2) Goind forward

Sircle Agilistic and Product Office were able to quickly kick-off the project to adherent to the deadline. Assigning the scrum master, PO, development team, and crafting the mockups. While collaborating with client on the uncertainties.

3) Accepting the challenge – Solution and Implementation

The development phase initially started using React Native as a framework and was later changed, in the first few sprints, to Flutter. This was a result of the extra functionalities added by the client. This is one of few critical challenges met during the tied deadlines constrain.

Result & delivery (UTD)

Released a stable version.
Both applications were smoothly uploaded to the stores days before client’s deadline.
Meeting all client’s requirements, all versions of the solutions were developed and tested.
