As a leading certification authority with more than 30 years of experience, the client wanted to enhance learning outcomes with verifiable and easily shareable digital badges to promote a badge earner’s achievements.
In addition to expanding its online presence, the client was looking to open up new revenue streams by offering business users a subscription to the solution. Delivery plans were ambitious — the first project phase had to be completed within 3 months — from scratch.
The client placed utmost importance on supreme product quality and expected an easily maintainable solution that would sustain 100,000+ registered users. The client was also concerned with meeting Europe’s tough data protection regulations and needed a competent vendor able to provide end-to-end GDPR implementation services.
To address the customer’s needs, Oxagile assembled a team of 5 experts spearheaded by a lead engineer with over 20 years of professional experience.
With a proven track record of successful projects, Oxagile was able to demonstrate its developers’ ability to write clean, modular, readable code. In addition, the team thoroughly analyzed the client’s business context and adapted the company’s code guidelines and best practices to align them with the client’s specific requirements.
To meet the tight time-to-market deadline, Oxagile leveraged its flexible yet predictable Scrum process, enabling the client to frequently roll out new functionality and stay on schedule at all times.
From an easy-to-use dashboard, a user can choose to accept badges, make them visible, export to Mozilla Backpack, and share across Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn to promote their career.
Also, it offers seamless integration with the existing infrastructure. By using the solution, badge issuers can award, edit, and revoke digital badges, add custom templates, track badges and users, and more.
To ensure a great user experience, the solution leverages a flexible API and a highly optimized backend to create a new user or issue a badge in less than 3 seconds.
An independent audit agency meticulously examined the code objective metrics and proved the codebase to be highly analyzable, modifiable, testable, reusable, and modular.
By partnering with Oxagile, the client was able to expand its offering with a new badge issuing platform that would help attract business partners and create additional revenue streams.
To cut the solution maintenance costs, Oxagile’s team followed strict code guidelines to ensure clean, high-quality code. The code analyzed by an independent audit agency scored in the top 30% on maintainability, which is well above the market average.
A thorough understanding of the General Data Protection Regulation requirements allowed the team to confidently guide the client through a compliance procedure. The solution delivered is in line with the applicable GDPR legislation.
