Case study


Providing a robust and highly customizable platform to manage Global Compensation data


OutSystems Practice


Client issue



The client needed a robust and highly customizable platform to manage global compensation data and apply tax regulation to ensure their clients were globally tax compliant.

 

Sector: Tax Services
Period work performed: Dec 2018 – Jun 2020

 

Approach:

In this engagement we formed a multidisciplinary team including business consultants, UX/UI specialists, software developers and software quality assurance specialists to analyze, design, develop and successfully deliver a solution that would meet client’s expectations, expressed through its requirements. It was used an agile approach consisting in a set of sprints, each delivering a set of high valued features that, in the end of the final sprint would make the solution. The sprints were planned based on the cost/benefit of the features represented on the products backlog. To be ready for development, each feature would have to pass through a business requirement analysis, a UX/UI design and a technical specification. The sprint itself consisted in the development and tests of the features planned. The technology used was Outsystems as a development platform and Jira as a project management support platform.
