CLIENT GOALS
Epiq sought to create a hybrid insourced and outsourced development organization that could easily be ramped up over time, efficiently and cost effectively.
NEEDS & CHALLENGES
With an internal team of 120 developers and a 2-to-1 developer-to-QA ratio, Epiq knew they needed more developers to handle the increasing workload and to optimize their current practices. They felt that they adding in scalable resources to their existing development model would create the flexible hybrid team they needed to ramp up their platforms' development using lower-cost offshore resources and increasing product innovation. With relatively little experience with outsourcing, Epiq engaged Accelerance to find a qualified certified partner and expert advice.
THE SOLUTION
- A partner team in Argentina that matched the exact business requirements and specialized technical skills for their products.
- An scalable, agile development function that could easily expand from 10 to 100 developers as needed with the capacity to run up to 12 scrum projects at any given time.
- An assessment by Accelerance consultants of the current in-house team and recommendations for integrating and optimizing the new team.
RESULTS
- Stand up a blended team that allowed it to grow from 8 to 50 developers in nine months.
- Optimize development practices by implementing architecture improvements and software development best practices that ultimately increased productivity and efficiency.
- Scale resources to completely transform Epiq’s business, enabling onboarding of engineers significantly faster with much higher quality.
