Case Studies

Fidelity Life

Fidelity Life commissioned us to build a web app to allow customers to obtain life insurance without tests or processing delays.

Because of the complexity of the project, we used many different tools including: Ruby, JRuby, Java, Rails, Apache, and Postgres.

We built an entire suite of software systems that streamlined Fidelity’s internal processes, simplifying communication and enabling collaboration.

Now with hundreds of users, the application processes tens of thousands of requests per day and has exponentially increased Fidelity’s sales figures.

Aegis Communications

Aegis publishes trade journals for the dental industry. Due to their numerous publications, they had data spread across several systems.

Before they came to us, Aegis had to submit costly queries through a third party in order to access their own data.

To alleviate the costs associated with paying to access their own information, Aegis hired us to build a Rails application that centralized their scattered resources.

Working with their existing vendors, we normalized their data, imported it onto their own servers and granted them access to all of their internal data.

Groupon

Groupon offers discounts on local services to an audience of millions. After much publicity, their workload outpaced what their internal development team could handle alone.

Groupon needed help and, working together with their development team, we’ve resolved a number of the toughest programming challenges they’ve faced to date.

Using Ruby on Rails, we scaled their email systems, streamlined their customer support services and addressed a number of performance issues.

As Groupon continues to grow, we are working with them to prove that Ruby on Rails can run a massive web application.
