PreScouter: a Rails portal for a distributed research team.
We helped PreScouter build an internal portal where staff and research assistants could manage assignments and track research work.
A shared internal portal connected staff and research assistants spread across locations.
Research assignments became easier to track, prioritize, and move through the system.
A Chennai team worked with PreScouter on analysis, development, testing, and delivery.
Research operations needed a shared system
PreScouter had been coordinating research through email and mailing lists. It needed one place for staff and research assistants to manage assignments and track output.
Distributed work made coordination expensive
The team had to support globally distributed contributors while keeping research assignments visible enough for managers and customers.
Build a shared research portal with Rails
RocketApex helped set up a Ruby on Rails delivery team that worked across analysis, implementation, testing, and iterative delivery.
What changed for PreScouter
The portal brought research assignments and status into one place.
Teams could see assignments and status in one place instead of piecing together updates from conversations.
The portal was designed to reduce the time needed to complete customer research.
Research assistants and internal staff had a shared system for the work that mattered.
The Chennai team worked with PreScouter through analysis, implementation, testing, and Agile delivery.
RocketApex is an excellent Agile development shop. I've been very impressed with the way RocketApex has followed the latest Agile software development methods. Combined with a smart group of developers, the team delivers a reliable and professional service.Dinesh Ganesarajah, Managing Director of PreScouter
