A need for a fast and seamless migration
TrustMark was looking for an IT partner to introduce new functionalities of the service and to make changes in the API interface.
After the first tests and the complete takeover of the project, we recreated the service, fixed bugs and planned the live product migration outside the UK business hours.
Time pressure was of great importance in this project – most of the scope (up to live migration) had to happen in 20 days.
