Challenge

Mediatask came to us with their existing system. They had been using the app for the last four years, but it reached its growth potential. Our primary challenge was making Mediatask a scalable company again. We had to make a decision about whether or not to continue with the existing solution. During our partnership, we solved a number of business, technical and algorithmic challenges: low trust towards software agencies in general, due to previous experiences first agile project for the client an old and outdated existing system sophisticated business processes

Solution

We decided to completely rewrite the system - the old app was slow, buggy and not maintained. Our first milestone was to develop a clone of an existing app (using Ruby on Rails), including all data transforming and migration. We accomplished it successfully in less than two months. It opened a whole ocean of possibilities for process automation and cost reduction. Solutions we implemented: moving all the data to secure and scalable servers recreating the Mediatask app in Ruby on Rails maintaining a large number of assets (over 10 TB) integration with the Google Documents API developing an algorithm for automatic work assignments

Results

The more efficient processes using intelligent algorithms opened new scaling possibilities in both sales and employment. Today they have almost unlimited potential for growth, backed by sophisticated tech and great people. Here is the summary of the key results: allowed Mediatask to scale almost infinitely reduced the cost of unnecessary employees with automation decreased costs of external services - canceled company-wide Office 365 licenses (100+ subscriptions) automated multiple business processes doubled the number of employees (to 160+) during our cooperation Mediatask, inspired by our agile approach, introduced it in the management of their company
