ASP.NET development and support

I was skeptical about outsourcing parts of our development in Amino since my second company, SPAMfighter, has had great challenges with an outsourcing project. But I have seen that 1902 received a lot of praises in Amino’s discussion forum, and I have decided, therefore, to take the chance and let 1902 make our newest service, Amino Freelancer. The project has been completely successful and we've gotten a super nice service, for which we are very happy. There is no doubt that 1902 can help us through their services.

Over the past few years, we have concluded that a greater proportion of our traffic has shifted from traditional web to mobile platforms. Therefore, we chose to take a step and create a responsive website so that the visitors of Min-Mave would be able to use the site and its forum easily―whether they're sitting in front of the computer, breast-feeding, or walking with a baby stroller. Prior to this, we had 1902 work on our smaller projects, so choosing them as a partner was quite simple. After some discussions on the overall project, we received some estimates and design mockups that fit into a new and modern site, while still retaining the feeling of the old site. Communication and daily follow-ups have worked superbly, and you would really feel that the project was being created on the other side of the globe and in a completely different time zone. The result was that, both we and our users were very satisfied. All sounds great; credits to the whole team and not the least to the manager, Jerome, who are all very accommodating, communicative, and certainly not without humor, which makes everything a lot more fun.

We have worked with 1902 in connection with the development of our website. Cooperation with Paul and the rest of the employees have worked excellently all through the whole process, and with that we now have a product. We are very well pleased with what the team has delivered, both when we had very specific wishes for the project, and when we collaborated on the cost effectiveness in relation to the development of the site. Therefore, I can definitely recommend 1902 as a partner.

We looked to 1902 to assist us to update our existing Umbraco sites and to provide over flow capacity when we needed it. I was extremely pleased with how quickly the team were able to familiarise themselves with our environment and become productive. In addition to achieving our development tasks the 1902 team have constantly added additional value by providing valuable insights and suggestions for improvements. They have also been able to take high level concepts and develop them in their entirety with very little oversight which has been terrific. We have also been very impressed with the level of testing completed and the resulting quality of work delivered. We see 1902 as an ongoing partner that enhances our capability to deliver.

The system consisted of a centralized database having 28 clients located all over Mongolia stretching across 2 time-zones. However as the communication facilities were limited and 24/7 online access was out of the question, the data transfer had to be kept to the absolute minimum, as well as each client needed to have its own decentralized database. As the number of vehicles in Mongolia is fairly limited (about 150,000 in 2003), the databases were based on MSDE 2000, having a maximum capacity of 1,000,000 vehicle records, with the possibility to upgrade to a regular SQL server later if required. The unique part of the system is the data exchange between the server and the clients, relying on an absolutely minimum quantity of data to be exchanged. To keep the central database up-to-date, updates are generated and sent by a zipped and encrypted email from each client at the end of the working day using a dial-up connection or LAN connection; during the night the central database is updated with the data from all 28 clients and an update is returned to the clients thereafter (excluding each client's own data). The client database is subsequently updated at the start of the following working day ensuring that the content of all databases is identical by the morning. A log is generated for these transactions and reports are automatically produced keeping the administrator informed about the status of each client database. The system was developed keeping in mind that it should be fully automated and that training of operators should be kept to a minimum. The user-interfaces are all in Mongolian using locally developed fonts, as the standard Cyrillic fonts are missing two Mongolian letters. Needless to say that the system includes procedures for back-up of data to be able to restore partially or completely lost data at any location, as well as tools to deal with clients that temporarily has lost means of email communication; they would be (snail)mailed a specially generated CD with regular intervals. Also clients can generate CDs for mailing with data that they otherwise cannot send. Kampsax A/S was very satisfied with the cooperation with 1902; particularly 1902's handling of changes and modifications during the development phase was outstanding. The interaction between our staff and those of 1902 was flawless and very productive. All communication and tests were done online. The undersigned recently met with our client where the performance of the system was discussed and it was particularly satisfying to learn that the system was working well and completely flawless.

We have had 1902 Software as as our solid IT supplier for almost one-and-a-half year now. The collaboration may be concisely described as fantastic. We are very satisfied. 1902 Software works not just as an IT supplier but as a strategic partner on the whole project, who has provided advice and made sure that we took the right decisions throughout the entire process. They have the technology, usability and new initiatives. Our collaboration today resulted in us having a mad-killer product that's at the forefront and completely up-to-date with today's technologies. I will always recommend 1902 Software.

1902 was able to guide the process and overcome obstacles which developed along the way. The location of 1902 also worked to our benefit as new features could be developed to our review the following morning. Dansk Merchant Capital can highly recommend the usage of 1902.

We have now completed the first part of our project, and Pro Salus has gone online. Our excellent collaboration with 1902 Software has been an important part of our project's successful development. My first meeting with 1902 Software was a phone conversation with Peter Skouhus which quickly convinced me that I was on the right track with my project, which is pioneering in Denmark. I have programmed and created administrative systems for the industry’s "condition reports and energy labels" over the past 20 years, and also in this context, I have previously outsourced work abroad. However, there was never the same success until 1902 Software took the project. I sent the project description to 1902 Software, and received an estimate after a few conversations with the project manager whom Peter Skouhus assigned me. The talks took place via Skype, and all the people I've spoken with at 1902 Software speaks perfect English with no accent, and therefore in no time, it was clear to me what we have agreed upon. All the people I've had contact with at 1902 Software—the manager, system architect, graphic designer and programmer—are individuals who could think for themselves, understand the problem, and come up with solutions that work. I will choose 1902 Software for future projects, and we are now in the process of preparing for the next part of our project with them. I can only give 1902 Software my best recommendation.
