Before their acquisition by Granicus, Firmstep worked on multiple projects with various suppliers. To consolidate their development efforts, they partnered with STX Next. Following the handover, we supported their existing PHP platform and created a new back-office workflow tool. We also improved the performance of their customer-facing portal and ensured WCAG and GDPR compliance.
In addition to the existing projects, we worked closely on new initiatives, such as Amazon Alexa integration, an OAuth SSO mechanism, a mobile app for citizens, and a BI reporting solution. Our end-to-end support ensured seamless execution and high-quality project delivery.
Granicus approached STX Next with a monolithic PHP platform that had been in development for over a decade. However, the platform became increasingly difficult to maintain and had stability issues, which hindered Granicus’ ability to respond to client needs quickly.
To overcome these challenges, the company needed a reliable technological partner to help transition to Python and a microservices/serverless architecture, as they lacked in-house expertise in these technologies.
To assist Granicus, STX Next assembled an experienced team of full-stack developers, supported by a Product Owner and a Scrum Master. Engaging an entire team of experts allowed us to understand Granicus’ requirements and suggest optimal solutions to achieve their goals.
As their needs grew, we were able to scale up to multiple teams totaling almost 40 people, providing not only development, product, and process management support, but also UI and UX design, mobile development, and DevOps services.
