Situational Summary

Interfolio is an education technology company based in Washington, DC that offers a Faculty Information System to support the full lifecycle of faculty work—from hiring to annual review, service, reporting, scholarly data collection and validation, and more. All software applications focus on faculty, with workflow tools to support shared governance processes; activity reporting solutions that support accreditation, decision making, and data analytics; and consumer offerings that provide a portable, private space to support the collection, curation, and validation of academic materials.

From our conversations we have determined Interfolio will require the following:

    • Tech stack: Angular, Ruby on Rails, Angular.js
    • Team strategy: Create a pod of 5 Engineers with a nearshore partner. Two of internal Product Owners will lead and oversee the nearshore team. The offshore team will work on Interfolio's lower investment products to allow their internal team more bandwidth to work on higher investment products.
    • Timeline: Stand up a team with a partner by mid-Q1 of 2021.
    • Cultural fit: This team would need to work their hours within North American timezones, sit in on scrum meetings, truly be an augmentation of their team, etc. 
    • Location: Latin America is highly preferred
    • Security: SOC2 compliance, not required but a plus

I reviewed the summary you sent and we can definitively help your client with their needs. 

As you know, Scio is one of the oldest Accelerance Partner's, with ~ 100 expert Agile software Engineers in Morelia, Mexico.
 
We have been helping clients in the US and Canada since 2003, working on multiple industries and verticals, helping startups, small and mid-sized companies, and fortune 500 enterprises. All these years of experience allowed us to create a unique service with a deep technical expertise on the services we provide and the technologies we use, specifically with Angular and Ruby on Rails.
 
We see ourselves as an extension of our client's development team, Interfolio being no different, working in a meaningful and proven Nearshore Agile approach, with the best talent available, English speaking, continuously trained, outspoken and eager to collaborate.
