Flexible approach
In July 2017 Neyber was looking for a partner with the competencies necessary to increase the development capacity and speed up the rollout of their products using a variety of leading-edge cloud-based technologies.
We were able to show operational agility by scaling the team up and down, depending on Neyber’s changing business requirements. First as a team of five, we reached over 20 people working on three different projects. Once the first milestones were achieved, we smoothly scaled-down, wrapping ourselves around our client’s needs.

Solution we delivered
We are proud to be working with Neyber because our organisations are truly aligned – both our companies aim to create solutions that empower people and make a positive contribution to human life.
This was seen in the project which was a portal aimed to improve financial awareness and educate people on how to manage their money better. It allows access to guides with tips on how to be better-off and tools such as an easy-to-use savings calculator, built to give a clear picture of one’s finances.
Beyond software development
We proved our technical expertise by helping with Business Analysis and proactively agreeing on the requirements, trying to find the best answer to address Neyber’s business challenges.
We also shared our knowledge, recommended solutions and helped with Neyber’s innovative software by verifying the business value of new technologies, such as a Proof of Concept with Machine Learning.
Building a long-lasting relationship, it was necessary for us to become a self-organising team that required the minimum need for client management, following a mature development process based on ‘inspect and adapt’.
Compliance and security are very important to Neyber as a regulated business therefore, in addition to software development, our Security Team conducted a series of Penetration Tests.
