Our experience
Aiden: “At Aiden, we bring a company's core systems together with innovative solutions – and that can be quite a challenge at times. Existing systems often require a completely different development approach than the newer innovative solutions. Where you want to have thought out core systems as much as possible in advance to limit risks, you want to start as soon as possible with innovative applications to present a result. As a consultant, you have to bring that together, and that makes the work interesting and instructive.”
The project team was spread across Great Britain, Malaysia and the Netherlands. This was one of the biggest challenges during this project for all involved. “Because everyone speaks a different language and comes from a different culture, it is important to pay extra attention to communication. By regularly calling together and expressing assumptions, you avoid a lot of misunderstandings. In addition, Mendix is made for these kinds of projects. By regularly, at least weekly, putting a new version live and having it validated by the business, you avoid a lot of rework. Ultimately, it was also the collaboration that made this project a success.”
