      We had created a conceptual framework to authenticate and verify the provenance, transaction history, and authorship of blockchain-based NFTs. Talentica was brought on board to test and refine the concept from both functional and engineering perspectives, and later to build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) aligned with the agreed specifications and constraints.

      For several years, the team was composed entirely of Talentica contractors. Since January 2022, I have been directly managing them. The Talentica team handled the admin tooling backend, which included multiple Python Flask services with Postgres and Elasticsearch. These services operated in a service-oriented architecture deployed on Kubernetes, using Istio for service mesh and Spinnaker for deployments.

      Software Development Review from John Armstrong

      ELEKS was able to take our vision and help us deliver an app that empowers retail shareholders to make their voices heard. They’ve brought a depth and breadth of technical expertise and user experience design to challenge us on our assumptions on how people would want to interact with the app. From a mobile development perspective, we wanted to go to market with both an Android and an iPhone simultaneously.

      We are very happy with our ELEKS partnership; the dedication of the team is exceptional. We would certainly recommend ELEKS and would be happy to work with them again. In fact, they continue to be our partner for the 2nd phase of the CDX project to add even more customer services to the website.

      Software Development Review from Huntly Christie

      What impressed me about ELEKS is the culture. There is a very strong culture of discipline and performance, and software is a profession where discipline is very important. Good software development can only happen with a strong work ethic, and I think the ELEKS team really understands that.

      I'm sure I was one of the more challenging customers Doodle N Dash has worked with. As a senior with limited tech experience, Mo had to guide me through a great deal. I'm certain I tested his patience on more than a few occasions, but he always answered my questions — sometimes more than once — and returned my calls and texts promptly.

      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.
