Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the COO of Inventive, a group of companies including custom product development, a training academy for software engineers and a product incubator.
For what projects/services did your company hire EGO Creative Innovations?
EGO Creative Innovations helped us to win a pitch by creating a stunning app prototype. They created a prototype of the MVP requested by our client, and also managed to implement it in a way that allowed the project to be further expanding without rewriting its business logic. And all of that was done with minimum technical requirements, DoDs, and documentation from the client.
What were your goals for this project?
Throughout our partnership, and this project in particular, EGO has helped us deliver beautiful and performant mobile applications for our clients.
How did you select EGO Creative Innovations?
We have known the CEO of EGO Creative Innovations Eugene for a very long time and worked with his team before while at other companies. They have demonstrated expertise in software development, flexibility, and they excel at communication and project management methodologies. It was natural to use them for this project (and others since).
Describe the project in detail.
The project was a brand-new and highly complex mobile application with over 200 screens and many third-party API integrations. We needed a highly polished UI/UX, and flawless implementation - both of which EGO helped us deliver. Further, they helped us with QA, project management and business consulting at a very high level.
What was the team composition?
We have worked with a lot of their team already. During the last two projects, they had teams of 6+ people involved, including project manager, team lead, UI/UX experts, developers (front end, back end, mobile development), and QA specialists.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The EGO UX/UI team that a critical help during the initial client pitch, beating the incumbent software consulting company. We then together delivered the phase 1 MVP that was evaluated by the client so positively we won two further phases, and have become their new preferred software vendor.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Communicating with the company’s project managers is always a pleasure. We know we can always speak candidly with their team, and troubleshoot any issues with them. They are always focused on the transparency of the team’s work, on-time delivery, and strict coding standards.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
Their team's devotion and genuine customer-centric approach. Every team member is deeply involved in our projects and they constantly seek opportunities to deliver better results. They are loyal and enthusiastic, and always working with us to improve our deliverables.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Nothing significant remains - they have always been very responsive to our feedback.

"The team was very good at understanding our goals for the app and providing insight into the mobile experience."
While the project began smoothly, it was hindered by delays in the first phase. An adaptable team, EGO Creative Innovations resolved the issues. The second phase of the project is on hold due to outside circumstances. Throughout the timeline, the vendor was responsive and collaborative.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the CTO of a Travel Planning Startup based in Boston, MA. We are very early stage with a few thousand users using our online tools.
For what projects/services did your company hire EGO Creative Innovations?
We already have desktop and mobile web interfaces for our application and wanted to accelerate building a mobile app by working with a development partner who has expertise in this area.
What were your goals for this project?
We wanted to get a first draft of the mobile app into the App store early in 2020.
How did you select this vendor?
We sourced a number of development partners both onshore and offshore based on recommendations from our network. We then worked with 5 of these to come up with a more detailed estimate based on our initial specification. We then came to choose EGO due to their insight and diligence during the estimation process as well as the eventual cost estimate.
Describe the project in detail.
Once we decided to work with EGO we held a number of product meetings where we worked with both their Product Manager and Tech Lead to finalise the specification. This was a very useful process and EGO were able to help us with making some important decisions on the final product detail. Once we had enough of the specification to move into the development phase we then worked on a 2 week agile cycle to develop, test and review.
What was the team composition?
The primary team consisted of a senior developer, a junior developer, a product manager and a tester. All but the junior developer were part-time.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The first phase of the project went fairly smoothly but there were some delays in completing that phase. The team were very flexible resolving those delays which we appreciated. The second phase was intended to complete when we launched the App into the App Store but we ended up pulling back before completing this phase due to the Covid-19 pandemic having a severe impact on the travel space. It is our intention to pick the project up with EGO again in the future.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
Communication we generally pretty effective. They responded quickly and never wasted out time.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The team was very good at understanding our goals for the app and providing insight into the mobile experience. That helped us work towards a better solution together than we would have achieved without them.
Are there any areas for improvement?
There were some staffing issues that caused some delays and the speed of development was at times a frustration. Also we found that a larger than expected number of issues were picked up by our product testing rather than by their testing team.

Please describe your company and your position there.
I am the Founder & CEO of Small Wins LLC, which develops mobile applications to enhance the lives of new moms. The company is based in Chicago, Illinois and BAMBAMSleep! is our first app. I am the sole Founder so my role is quite diverse at this point. My focus so far is getting the idea off the ground, hiring, beta testing, customer success and marketing. As the company grow, my role will likely narrow in on hiring, customer success, marketing and fundraising.
For what projects/services did your company hire EGO Creative Innovations?
EGO Creative Innovations was selected after interviewing multiple creative development agencies in the US and abroad. Their team helped me bring the idea for BAMBAMsleep! from basic wireframes I had built in Sketch to reality. I worked with a project manager, UX/UI designer, developer, quality assurance and others. We had meetings twice a week to discuss every aspect of the project and Irina, our project manager did an excellent job at keeping everyone on the EGO side coordinated and within scope, timeline, and budget. The weekly meetings also helped hold myself accountable. Without all of these people, the project would not have come to life. Most importantly, the team was experienced enough to take my ideas and come back with thoughtful, well-research suggestions, which together made the product better than I had originally envisioned.
What were your goals for this project?
The goal was to build the iOS version of the MVP and to get it ready so it could be launched on the Apple Store.
How did you select this vendor?
I interviewed vendors based on recommendations from established mobile app developers. All the vendors I interviewed were very high quality. Ultimately, I decided on EGO because of the quality of their developers and team as well as their ability to create a high quality project with customized UI/UX design within my budget. It was important to me that the app was not "cookie cutter" design and they were able to make that happen. Furthermore, they were committed to meeting with me on a very frequent basis, so I felt that I was very involved in the outcome of the project.
Describe the project in detail.
I sent them the initial wireframes that I had built and the first couple of weeks were to discuss ideas, goals and logic. There were many logical issues that we had to sort out and they were very dilligent and patient in working through this. My meetings were twice a week and were always with both project manager and designer. The designer had flowcharts that I could see to review the logic and after a few weeks, she had designs of the main screens for me to review. Once approved, she quickly designed the rest of the screens and got my a clickable prototype that I could show to potential users and friends. After the approval of the prototype, the developer worked on it. Ultimately, the developer built 33 versions and during this process, there was a lot of back and forth with final details and changes.
What was the team composition?
Project manager, UX/UI designer, front-end/back-end developer, QA.
Can you share any outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
At this point, we are beta testing the app and I am getting favourable feedback and no bugs yet! EGO helped me meet all the criteria to get the app approved by the Apple Store upon first try. They have also given good expertise and creative material to use in my separate marketing efforts.
How effective was the workflow between your team and theirs?
The project manager assigned was great and kept the project moving , on time and within budget. She was a very effective communicator and got back to me on things super quickly. Despite being in different time zones, we were able to work together very effectively. I never once felt like I was out of the loop.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
They coordinated, worked quickly, and included me on every step of the process. They definitely went the extra mile when it came to doing extra research and coming up with new ideas and suggestions for me. They took my vision and actively tried to make it better.
Are there any areas for improvement?
Not really
