Leighton Howard,Founder & CEO at GenericsWeb, Australia
After trialing a few different outsourced software developers without success, we were delighted to learn that AltexSoft takes a different approach. Not only do they have depth of talent and experience, but they also promote ownership of the projects and look after their staff to maintain tacit knowledge on the team. The team always takes time to fully understand the scope of the project and does not over-commit in terms of time or technical outcomes. All of this leads to high quality delivery of projects in a timely fashion which end users will love.
Value Delivered
Working on the project, our team accomplished the following:-
Developed a Custom Search Engine
Ark Patent Intelligence system allows users to work with large amounts of aggregated data easily. The built-in custom search engine, developed by AltexSoft, can handle the complex queries on INNs, patents and patent families, litigations and SPCs (Supplementary Patent Constraints) and provide accurate data selection according to the search criteria. Having more than 20 advanced filters, such as patent status, category, constraints, biologic categories and country coverage, the search is very flexible and allows users to find exactly what is needed. -
Increased Front-End Stability and Performance
Being a feature-rich product with complex logic, Ark Patent Intelligence had major performance issues. To be able to swiftly display all data in a browser without sacrificing user experience, our team used a content delivery network (CDN) for static content loading. Moreover, JavaScript performance optimization allowed us to reduce the memory use and contribute to the speed and efficiency of the system. -
Instant Upgrades and Streamlined Delivery Process
Setting up continuous delivery process allowed us to roll out updates and improve the product regularly with no downtime. All additions to the system have been implemented without any inconveniences for users or losses for the client. Along with a thorough QA cycle, which included unit testing and manual testing, this ensured excellent quality and reliability of the software.
