R&D center for Holding Company Success Story

Client

This holding company is 15 years old operating worldwide. It has offices in different locations and more than 150 employees.

Assignment

Build R&D department for the holding company that would operate in all required IT areas. We assisted in restructuring and optimizing the existing IT Department. Our main goal was to create professional R&D department and establish straightforward and efficient communication channels and workflows between the outstaffed R&D and in-house staff.

Achievements

Step by Step

We started from a face to face meeting with the top management to understand expectations and to present our short- and long-term plans.

We started with building a small group of experts that would be the core of the future Department. Those were only three people: Lead Developer, Lead QA and Project Manager.

This approach was proven effective by our previous experience and worked very well in this case too. Small team goes through an easier integration and adaptation process. After work processes were developed and communication with all departments was improved, we were ready for team extension.

Growth

The grow process was natural and with the time pass, gradually we have extended the Development and QA Teams and added more departments according to client’s requirements.

Since all the work processes have been already settled, the new team members had a smooth adaptation.
