The Story:
What happens when your software is not serving the business as it should, or when you recognize that the system you built can’t scale without major changes or a rewrite? Inefficiency is costly. Should you make do as long as you can, or do you take the opportunity to evaluate your company goals and establish a technology foundation that helps your company succeed and scale in the long-term?
Maverick was in a tricky situation. They had created a training system that was not able to sustain their growth. Not only did Maverick need to improve the original training system to scale and grow, but had opportunities in the market that were unreachable without a system upgrade.
By choosing to re-platform to a sustainable architecture, Maverick now has a software asset that serves as a foundation to scale with their business as they continue to deliver best in class Training as a Service to the world's largest brands.
Maverick Solutions provides training content and simulations that can be customized to a customer’s environment to leverage Enterprise software and enable a smooth rollout. Their training modules are configured into ‘Learning Paths’ from a content library with over 2,000 custom and standard training components. They needed software to enable better content management and reporting capabilities along with providing a more polished user experience for their customers.
Maverick Solutions hired an internal development team to create a custom content delivery software platform titled ‘Engage 2.0’, but when onboarding customers, they quickly realized that their new software’s architecture limited their ability to scale and grow to their full potential.
Ultimately, they needed a system that would not only enable their company to immediately operate more effectively, but would also provide a foundation that would allow them to scale and add features for years to come.
Unfortunately they didn’t have the budget to accomplish all of their desired features in the initial effort. These budget restrictions paired with the need to quickly transition away from their legacy system with manual content migration presented a unique situation to overcome. RoleModel successfully helped Maverick navigate the trade offs in this impactful custom software development process
