When BrainStorm, the preferred training provider for thousands of organizations around the world, came up with the idea of an innovative SaaS-based QuickHelp platform<\/a> for professional growth, they faced a lack of in-house development capabilities. To build their flagship product and be able to affordably scale their engineering capacity, BrainStorm looked for a trusted IT staff augmentation company to partner with.<\/p>\n Being a pioneer in the industry, BrainStorm was among the first eLearning companies<\/a> to build their solution on Microsoft Azure. Back in 2011, when Azure had just come out and cloud competencies were still rare, this decision triggered new challenges for the company. To address the talent shortage and future-proof their new platform for further innovations, BrainStorm decided to work with Intellias. We were a good match for the project with our abundant experience in cloud solutions<\/a>, strong software engineering culture, and flexible IT\u00a0staff augmentation services<\/a>.<\/p>\n Our collaboration began with a small web app project involving four developers. Throughout this project, Intellias proved a reliable dedicated development partner with a great cultural fit and the right mix of skills, expertise, and maturity. The success of this pilot program gave BrainStorm the confidence to move to full-scale product development.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Intellias mature engineering environment, advanced technology services<\/a>, and culture of continuous innovation allowed us to promptly respond to BrainStorm\u2019s technological needs. Our experts in Microsoft .NET and the Azure stack became vital contributors to efficient development of our client\u2019s cloud platform. QuickHelp is entirely hosted on Azure Cloud and uses a variety of Azure services, resources, and technologies.<\/p>\n Being a client-centric company, Intellias took a flexible, collaborative, and process-oriented approach to project management right from the start. This allowed us to quickly establish workflows and operations as well as achieve transparency and accountability in our relationships.<\/p>\n As the QuickHelp platform was rapidly gaining market traction and required our deeper involvement, the team continued to steadily grow each year in both its size and span of responsibilities. Bit by bit, BrainStorm delegated the entire delivery process and all project management functions to Intellias, leaving only business requirements engineering on their side. We went from team augmentation to full project delivery and became BrainStorm\u2019s single development center. Our team took charge of full-cycle software development, quality control, requirements analysis, release planning, recruitment, team composition, and team trainings.<\/p>\nSolution delivered<\/h2>\n
