Client Case Study: "Third Party Honest Broker"
Client was replacing a failed multi-million dollar outsource development attempt with an in-house product development process.

The Java-based Technology Asset received from contractor was binary only - source and development environment were held by contractor as leverage during settlement process.

Client had two conflicting internal agendas:

  • Business Concern: Client’s customer imposed hard deadline 6 weeks out - missed deadline/deliverables posed imminent termination threat of multi-million dollar contract.
  • Transitional Technical Team Agenda: convince business team and executive management that there was no means to derive Technology Asset in a meaningful way from the executable. Therefore, push was to undertake a 9 months, high 6 figure $ development cycle to rewrite/replace Technology Asset.

Back to case studies
