Project Details

The Story Behind the Win

Every project has a plot: where it started, what wasn’t working, how we fixed it, and what changed. These breakdowns give you the full picture—background, challenge, solution, and the results that made it all worth it.

Background

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO of a software company that provides virtual data room software for secure document sharing.

Challenge

What challenge were you trying to address with Inventive?

We needed to scope out and design a new virtual data room software.

Solution

What was the scope of their involvement?

They did research and discovery of what it’d take to build the software we wanted and what the cost would be. We decided to kill the project because the total cost and other dynamics like the market and prospect of growth weren’t a good investment.

What is the team composition?

We initially worked with their president, but then Laura (Sales Director) became our main point of contact. We also worked with James (Principal Software Engineer) on coming up with the scope of work and with another person who did most of the coding. We ended up working with 4–5 people from their team.

How did you come to work with Inventive Works?

Clutch got us in touch with different potential developers to help us out, but we ended up going with them because we liked their professionalism and approach to work with the product.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $10,000 with them.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked together from February–May 2021.

Results

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

Even though we killed the project, we were impressed by their willingness to work with us on coming up with the right decision.

How did Inventive Works perform from a project management standpoint?

They were great at meeting deadlines, open, and easy to communicate with. Laura did a great job, and I enjoyed working with her.

What did you find most impressive about them?

The job they did made us happy.

Are there any areas they could improve?

I don’t think there’s anything they can improve on.

Any advice for potential customers?

Give them a call, and they’ll walk you through everything to help you out.
