// Solution Proposed
In the client challenge, V2STech Solutions saw an opportunity to get involved from ideation to operationalization of platform. In a month’s time, we setup a dedicated offshore delivery center with Education domain SME, UI/UX architect, solution architect, senior developers, designers and project manager. First MVP was ready in three months and first operational version in nine months. The design team delivered an interactive prototype along with mind maps to represent ideas, thoughts etc. enabled client to gather initial feedback from their clients and end users.
We delivered improved platform with 12 major and 50 minor releases in 48 months. Every release was on-time and within budget. At V2STech we understand the importance of Non Functional Requirement (NFR) hence scalability, security, interoperability, manageability etc. are well considered from day one and improved with releases.
We transformed this client’s development processes to V2STech methodology of Agile, specifically designed for product development. We added automated performance testing, load testing and regression testing to improve overall platform quality and increase user trust in the system. Modular architecture helped to handle multi-tenant environment with sustainable, replicable process for new feature development. V2STech SME for security interacted with relevant agencies and get this platform certified (e.g. Security testing expert, PCI-DSS agency etc.) well in time.
Automation into deployment enabled smoother releases into production. Team streamline the platform operations by handholding and supporting the client’s operations team initially. Systematic approach for end user trainings and collaboration platform helped easy and quicker enablement for large user community.
This unique platform is currently serving 2M+ user based across 1000+ Institutes.
