We make Global IT Collaborations Work
For more than 10 years, Bridge has been helping several software product development companies and IT departments of large organizations who has a common problem – What’s that ?
They are not able to release their software products faster to the market or miss the deadlines always because they can’t find smart, proactive, intelligent and cost effective developers fast. The solution here is - working with an offshore/nearshore team. The problem doesn’t end here and is followed by a lot of questions/worries:
1. How to get prepared for managing a remote team ?
2. How to organize nearshore and offshore collaboration ?
3. How to overcome cultural differences when managing offshore/nearshore teams ?
4. How to communicate effectively with a remote team ?
5. How to manage people in our remote team ?
And the list goes on.
We help people to make decisions, setup and work successfully with remote teams and get rid of their software development problems.

Outsourced eCommerce Development for Digital Agency

the reviewer
the review
A Clutch analyst personally interviewed this client over the phone. Below is an edited transcript.
Introduce your business and what you do there.
We are a digital agency and technology consulting firm developing cross-platform applications and enterprise gateways. We also develop projects involving augmented reality for retail and industry.
I am one of the founders of the company and Chief Creative Officer.
What challenge were you trying to address with Bridge Global?
We were looking for specialists in certain areas of the Magento platform. Bridge Global was able to address a business and technology problem for one of our clients.
What was the scope of their involvement?
Bridge Global was in charge of developing an e-commerce Magento website for our company. They also did database work, quality assurance, and custom coding for the same client.
How did you come to work with Bridge Global?
We first assigned the job to another company, which failed. A consultant partner mentioned Bridge Global to us.
How much have you invested with Bridge Global?
The total cost of Bridge Global's services was around $25,000.
What is the status of this engagement?
We started working with Bridge Global in the summer of 2015. Our project had a duration of 10 months and was completed 2 and a half months ago. We are still working on small touch-ups.
Could you share any evidence that would demonstrate the productivity, quality of work, or the impact of the engagement?
I am 100% satisfied. We worked through a functional specifications document which was developed in collaboration with the client. It was completely fulfilled by Bridge Global.

What did you find most impressive about Bridge Global?
Bridge Global has a long-term strategic view on the work, versus the hit-and-run approach which we saw with other partners. Bridge Global is a very thorough and thoughtful group. We've worked with many vendors, but Bridge Global has become a strategic partner of our firm.
Are there any areas Bridge Global could improve?
It's a people job, so the more people are added to the project, the faster it progresses.

Application Development for Career Channel Platform
“Bridge has been very helpful.”
the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
We are a global career channel helping professional people to find education opportunities and jobs. We are building a platform of career opportunities for people to get connected. As a Chief Technology Officer, I am involved in developing the products and maintaining technologies at top performance, in a scalable manner.
he pain of online hiring is common everywhere and none of the existing solutions take care of it at a satisfactory level. There is an overload of job portals and it wastes job seekers' time to redirect them to ad-filled pages. This does a lot more harm and limits the useful job hunting that takes place. On the other side, people waste a lot of time online to find relevant courses or education opportunities. We are trying to solve both of these issues by creating a trusted platform with real connectivity between people.
Technically we need to build and test out a lot of tools for our users and iterate faster based on feedback to achieve these goals.
We are building a platform for employers and recruiters to share their opportunities, and job seekers to get matched with real signals rather than just keywords. On the education side we are building an online research platform for career minded people to find a right course to improve on their professional side.
We have an in house team of developers to build the platform, and we had many features that are obvious and time consuming to build, that’s why we started outsourcing to Bridge.
Bridge has been very helpful, providing us with the right talent and making them ready to adapt to meet the technical and business requirements of our solutions. Bridge's team helped us complete more product features on time and hence helped us move ahead faster with our projects.
Even though there were some quality issues with initial deliveries, they were able to quickly come back with proper solutions.

the reviewer
the review
The client submitted this review online.
Please describe your company and your position there.
We're a company working with gamification in organizations. We do this with our own apps—Pacetracer and Paceholder—and with client specific apps.
For what projects/services did your company hire Bridge Global?
We needed them to develop the Paceholder app as well as an admin backend. We also wanted a responsive website developing.
What were your goals for this project?
Our goal was to deliver an app and a user-friendly backend that could easily be employed by clients.
How did you select this vendor?
We'd worked with them before with great results. We were looking for specific knowledge which couldn't be found nearby. We were also looking for a company that is stable and consistent that we could come back to later on.
Can you go into detail about the services they provided and the scope of the project?
The app they developed asks questions after a lecture or an education. The admin section they developed allows users to add events or games, with questions that are later presented in the app.
What was the team composition?
I worked with several different people.
Can you share any information that demonstrates the impact that this project has had on your business?
This was the second app we developed with them and it was a smooth process. With this new app, we can now expand a segment of our business that we didn't have before.
How was project management arranged and how effective was it?
They had one senior project manager and I was the other. This was very effective since we were always able to communicate with our teams.
What did you find most impressive about this company?
The communication, both in its speed and clarity.
Are there any areas where they can improve?
They should work harder to meet deadlines.
Bridge Global delivered a sleek website that gives the company a professional appearance. The batch code module they built manages daily operations reliably and seamlessly. The team of attentive and skilled communicators provided updates on a daily basis.
