      Software Development Review from Michael S.

      We selected Azumo to develop our software. We transitioned from another development company, so Azumo was initially responsible for migrating our existing code and environments. We are currently still working with Azumo as our nearshore software development team on adding new items to our software.

      Software Development Review from Claus-Peter Mueller

      We have engaged Infinum to develop an app that would digitalise our leasing process. From creating the initial offer through the necessary financing application and client identification to the final signature – all the steps required to successfully lease a vehicle or other object can be performed in-app, freeing the users of friction and having to deal with tedious paperwork.The app itself in the background has 30+ integrations, while keeping a seamless and quick to follow process on the front for our users. That application is in production and Infinum is responsible for maintaining it and further improving. After the initial development, we have additionally expanded our scope from vehicles to other equipment. They have also developed a Leasing widget, product which enables quick financing model while purchasing a vehicle online on car seller marketplace pages. At this moment, we are still in partnership with Infinum, and their engagement is mainly focused on localising the app to other countries and supporting us in our further business expansion. The work performed was done in Ruby on Rails and React technology, with support of other services.

      eCommerce Development Review from Jeffrey Weiss

      I've worked with Table XI for the last 9 years on a University-wide system to manage transactions at over 70 centralized service facilities. It has been an outstanding experience. The system performs well and is rock solid. We've extended the feature set far beyond our initial scope and they've handled our needs without pause. My favorite part is the responsiveness. I've never been left waiting for a reply, and I have never seen an issue go unresolved in a short span of time. Great partners.

      Software Development Review from Matt Frey

      Table XI did a really good job kicking off the project by helping us with requirements gathering and project planning. They had some great exercises to facilitate this process and I particularly enjoyed how they teased out how flexible we were in terms of scope, budget, quality, and timeline. Doing so helped us ensure our expectations were all aligned prior to starting work. Table XI also maintains a great engineering culture, which was exhibited by their engineers.

Our staff picked up lots of new skills by working with the talented folks at TableXI. All projects were delivered on time, with quality, and within budget.

      Our first engagement with Twenty Ideas was accurately scoped and allocated from day one, and that was impressive. Being on time and budget while exceeding expectations seems impossible for many vendors, but with Twenty Ideas, there were zero issues. They anticipated our needs and presented clear options when necessary.

      The most impressive thing was the collaboration we established. I had been creating this app by myself for so long, and all of a sudden, I had a whole team of thought partners. Twenty Ideas really got in there with me, learned what I was trying to make, and collaborated with me on it. It was an extremely rewarding experience, and we're thrilled with the app!

      I started working with Twenty Ideas in a part-time consulting capacity, but I became so taken with the team’s passion, mission, and supportive culture, that I ended up applying for a full-time position. I’ve been with the team for three and a half years now, and it’s given opened doors to expand my skill set; work with smart, kind, and dedicated people, every day; and work with clients who truly care about making a positive impact, to create life-changing solutions together. It’s a great place to work!

      I am thoroughly pleased with your companies ability to deliver an exceptional working relationship that has lead to an eloquently executed client experience. Isadora Digital Agency took a much-needed concierge approach to our relationship and helped us define our goals as well as align the expectations of the officers of our company. Our needs and vision were sophisticated but you helped us to achieve our vision through a multitude of legal and compliance challenges while still creating a warm and textured environment for our clients to engage with us. There have been multiple occasions the agency has gone exceptionally above and beyond to make this project a success – had we partnered with some of the other 9 design companies we were engaged with, I don’t feel confident that they would have provided the white glove service that we received from your firm. Let me summarize: Isadora delivers enterprise style service and results with the client engagement and human interaction of a boutique firm.

  2. Defining the product: The team clarifies the product’s purpose, core problem, and key features, focusing on what matters most and avoiding unnecessary complexity.
  3. User and market research: Designers and analysts study users, competitors, and market trends to ensure the product meets real user needs and has long-term value.
  4. Sketching concepts: Early sketches explore design directions and layouts before committing significant time or resources.
  5. Prototyping: A basic version of the product is created to show structure, functionality, and user interaction, helping catch issues early.
  6. Specifications and requirements: Detailed documentation defines features, technical requirements, timelines, costs, and responsibilities for development.
  7. Pre-production samples/MVP: Initial samples (or MVPs for software) are built to test feasibility, usability, and readiness for production.
  8. Testing and validation: The product is tested with users and stakeholders to identify flaws, gather feedback, and make improvements.
  9. Development and production: The product is fully built using defined specifications, often with agile methods to manage tasks and priorities.
  10. Quality assurance: Final checks ensure the product meets quality standards, works as intended, and aligns with requirements before and after launch.
