Taking over a Kentico project from another provider

One of the essential ingredients for successfully completing an ongoing project is a "review" of the current technical state of the assignment. That is, subjecting the source code to an in-depth inspection. At NITTIN, we conduct a thorough analysis. Among other reasons, to ensure that the project will run smoothly in our environment.

We also focus on auditing which standard functionalities of the Kentico platform were utilized and where, conversely, custom modifications were made. Various custom extensions can be crucial for the functionality of the technological solution.

An essential part of the initial technical analysis is also determining the version of the Kentico system on which the project runs. Based on this, we then plan the optimal approach for the project's development and modernization. We can also handle a potential transition to a higher system version.

Careful examination of the current state leads to creating a solid and stable foundation for further development at NITTIN. Conversely, failure in code quality and technologies used could result in unexpected costs and problems in the future.

Alongside the technical analysis, it's necessary to look at the assignment from an administrative perspective as well. It's essential to establish with the client the values and goals that the final product should fulfill. At this point, we carefully study the available documentation and discuss with the client. We strive to ensure both parties clarify what the main reasons for the project's creation are and what its direction should be.

Part of this step also includes verifying the efficiency of existing processes from a hard data perspective. We're interested in key performance indicators (KPIs) or return on investment (ROI). This allows us to identify areas that require optimization and ensure that the project is as efficient and beneficial for the client as possible.

For the above-described steps to work, personnel setup is also essential. In our approach, we rely on open communication and clear setting of expectations. We strive to work closely with the client, especially at the beginning, so that we can become thoroughly familiar with the project and its specifics. We then bring our own ideas and improvements that are meant to successfully steer the project toward a successful outcome.

Effective knowledge transfer is therefore a key part of the process of taking over an existing project by our company. If only because on the client's side, there often isn't a single person responsible for the entire project, which can consequently lead to delays or misunderstandings.

Taking over an already-started Kentico project is a complex process requiring full commitment. However, it's not impossible, which we've proven in many assignments from various clients.

If you're considering changing providers, we'll be happy to help you with it. You've probably already invested not only time and energy but also considerable financial resources into your ongoing project, and it wouldn't be efficient to start from scratch again. At NITTIN, we'll be happy to help you ensure continuity of the work that's been started and achieve the desired results.

In our company, we value open communication with the client, as well as thorough technical and non-technical analyses and subsequent first-class solutions based on our extensive experience with the Kentico platform. We maintain a professional yet welcoming approach to the client. We believe that together we can effectively revive your already-started projects and successfully bring them to completion.
