Deviniti

Introduce your business and what you do there.

We’re an organization that provides software services for the Polish Justice Department, like back-office services and other solutions.

What challenge were you trying to address with Deviniti?

We wanted to implement an Atlassian Jira management tool called Big Picture. Although this tool has its documentation, it was still very complex for us because we had no experience. Therefore, we decided to hire Deviniti to help us implement it.

What was the scope of their involvement?

Deviniti provided consulting services and implemented the Jira project management tool. They also configurated it and set up the first version.

What is the team composition?

We worked with Piotr (CEO) who did the technical work. During the project, I also work with other 2–3 people from their team.

How did you come to work with Deviniti?

Deviniti had worked with our IT department before. However, I’m more of an executive, so it was my first time working with them.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $1,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started the project in February 2021, and it took us 2–4 days to complete it.

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

As the name of the tool suggests, it gave us a big picture of the status of our projects. Before, we only had access to separate information and projects. After implementing the tool, we had a general view of all the timelines, road maps, and useful data information.

How did Deviniti perform from a project management standpoint?

We communicated through video conferences in which I described what I wanted. Then, Deviniti went to work on their own. We didn’t have a specific deadline, but everything was done within our expectations. We were really happy with the timing. It took them four days to finish it — we thought it’d take them months.

What did you find most impressive about them?

We were very happy with Deviniti’s work. I was designated to work with Piotr, and he was very professional and efficient. He did everything that I asked for and more. I wanted to leave this review because I was so happy with their service that I decided to share it.

Are there any areas they could improve?

We were content with Deviniti. I’m happy that I don’t have anything they could improve.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be open and trust Deviniti’s team. They know what they’re doing. Just put your trust in them, and they will provide.

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of 361Sales. We operate in Polish and European markets and provide our clients assistance with the digital transformation process and modernizing distribution channels.

What challenge were you trying to address with Deviniti?

We needed help with a couple of projects like the development of a healthcare app and creating tech solutions for our accountancy markets, so we’re working with Deviniti.

What was the scope of their involvement?

The scope is quite wide, but during my work with a European pharmaceutical company, I was tasked with a project dedicated to flu prediction. I then invited Deviniti to work with me on the development and maintenance of the health app for Android and iOS.

Currently, we’ve just started a new European project which will focus on modernizing channels, mobile apps, and e-commerce ecosystems.

What is the team composition?

I’ve worked with Pitor (CEO) and several coders, developers, and financial assistants from the team.

How did you come to work with Deviniti?

Devinit was recommended to me by my colleagues when I was looking for a software company to cooperate with.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve invested about $100,000–$200,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

Our partnership with Deviniti began around October 2018, and we are currently working on two projects. 

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

We do not measure the success of Deviniti’s performance based on the number of downloads or the statements of users, since delivering that falls on our side of the business. However, their team has been able to develop quality software on the set deadlines, with only a small number of errors during testing. Overall, I am very happy with the services they’ve provided, especially on that first engagement. 

How did Deviniti perform from a project management standpoint?

The Deviniti team has been very efficient. We use different communication channels and are in contact with all team members. 

What did you find most impressive about them?

They are a really open and flexible group of people. 

Are there any areas they could improve?

All of us have something we could improve on, but I would say that the time they dedicate for project preparation could be shorter.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

Be honest and open with Deviniti about your demands, expectations, and challenges. The better their understanding of your needs, the better their approach will be to get excellent results.

How did you select Deviniti?

We did not know Deviniti before. After gathering the requirements (business, legal, security) and designing the initial workflow and data structure we have contacted several vendors to present their solutions. Deviniti presented a Freshdesk product.

Considering all vendors, Deviniti has accurately referred to our requirements as well as shared best market practices to improve the design. The presenter was very well prepared and was competent to answer in all areas (even such as legal or security) on spot. Deviniti proved its experience in similar implementations, understanding of the present business challenges and presented customer centricity

Describe the project in detail.

Firstly, Deviniti was involved in estimating if the legal and security requirements are met (data processing) by the product owner. Once done we were cooperating with the representative on setting up a test environment to test and complete the initial configuration delivered by us: data structure, labeling, flows, groups, templates, calling etc.

After few adjustments and UATs, Deviniti uploaded the master data and assisted us during the go-live and hypercare. Deviniti was also responsible for training super users for Freshdesk.

I also have received a credits for Deviniti from other team members which stated it was really professional.

How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?

The scheduling was always on point. Deviniti proved to understand the desired outcome and really cooperate toward it. Response rate and engagement is great. We were always updated on the status without a need to follow up.

What did you find most impressive about this company?

It is a rare case where the vendor really participates in the implementation - wants to understand the outcome and looks for the best solution. The response rate and availability of Deviniti representatives makes you feel you are being looked after. Company really cares about their reputation.

The quality stays the same in a "live" phase - no matter how rarely or often you contact or who is representing Deviniti at the time. This is also visible in their portfolio - all products are well chosen instead of just going with wide range of big players.

Are there any areas for improvement?

No - everything is smooth.
