challenge

Persistent performance issues were plaguing the enterprise applications teams at a leading financial institution, leading to a host of undesirable outcomes: project delays, missed delivery deadlines, rising development costs and worse. Compounding the issue, the client had inaugurated a fundamental technology shift, shuttling front-end application code in favor of the Angular technology stack, which meant development teams would be developing or rewriting code in an unfamiliar technology — a worrying proposition.

Concerned, the client reached out to Randstad to build an overarching performance team, one that could not only provide guidance, oversight and analysis, but once and for all resolve those pesky performance issues, too.
