Director of Operations
Thanks to the effort s of the Integral Vision team, the company saw a 2,000 new registered users to their website within two weeks of the project's launch. The company also noticed that their SEO rankings have yet to drop as time goes on, which they do not usually see when launching a new site.
A language education provider hired Integral Vision to provide web development and design services for the business. The goal of the project was to finish the project within a reasonable budget.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
I work as the Director of Operations at Euroexam International Ltd. We provide language exams in German and English and also preparation materials, online and offline trainings for language teachers as well as for language learners.
Our core market is Hungary, but we have partners internationally, like in Russia, Turkey and Mexico.

What challenge were you trying to address with Integral Vision?
Web development, web application design. We had an almost finished wireframe and user interface design, but the previous supplier couldn't finish it due some legal debate between the two company.
Integral Vision had to finish he design work and the specification and develop the whole project. Our main goal was to develop the project with agile method in a reasonable budget due finalising the functions and appearance step by step during the development process.
Business wise the main goal was to create a website with different types of user accounts helping the preparation and application for the language exams.

Team composition/dynamic team?
The project manager was the main contact during the whole process, but on the demos and on the API technical discussions the lead developer also attended.
How did you come to work with Integral Vision?
We needed a partner immediately with huge flexibility, free development capacity and reasonable price. We asked cost estimation from 3 partners. We took into considerations their previous works, their Drupal experience, their project backlog and cost estimation.
Describe the project and services they provided in detail.
We had a specification, a wireframe and a UI design from the previous supplier so we started with a kick-off meeting in order to clarify the scope, answer the questions and see the modifications needed on the existing materials.
Based on the kick-off meeting they made a rough hourly estimation. They delivered new ideas and improvement proposals week by week based on our business goals. We planned together the functions and the deliverable MVP and optimised it sprint by sprint.
They had to integrate three other platform and develop API endpoints for them which needed a huge flexibility and patience from their side, but they managed it. Big thanks and appreciation for that.

How much have you invested in them?
Between 10.000 - 40.000 euro.
What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?
More than 2.000 registered users in 2 weeks :-) No drop in SEO rankings (normally the opposite happens in case of a new site launch).
How did Integral Vision perform from a project management standpoint?
We used Jira and planned in two week-long sprints. We finalised and prioritised the sprint issues with the project managers before the sprint started. She communicated with the team members and with me as well. Her communication is always clear, kind and punctual.
The whole team had useful ideas for improvements, worth to consider. They did their work very responsibly and in the agreed deadline. If they had to modify the timeline or the sprint scope, they always informed me in advance, so we had the chance to change the priorities and prepare.

What did you find most impressive about them?
They really work as a team with the goal of making good digital products. They love their work and - which is very rare - they are honest. They tell you if you are not right or if they don't feel comfortable with a project.
The "professional comfort" of their colleagues counts a lot for the management.
