US Client – ERP System Development

An American client who is working in the United States government field.

Client Introduction

Our client is a 500-employee American company working in the government field in the United States (the company name is confidential due to our NDA), and is a loyal client of LTS Group.

Business Challenge

Our client wanted to develop a one-stop shop Enterprise Resource Planning System (SaaS ERP) for small and medium companies (SMEs) in the US market. They utilize LTS Group’s Offshore development center service to lower the development costs and boost the product’s time-to-market.

 

 

 

Our Solution

We recommended the managed ODC model to the client, wherein LTS Group takes full responsibility for ERP system implementation. The project was segmented into five phases as outlined below:

– Requirement examination: Our CTO and 3 BAs worked with the clients to collect, organize, analyze requirements and technically conceptualize the product.
– Planning: After determining the system functions, we implemented system design, UI/UX design, schedule planning, risk planning, quality planning, team formation, infrastructure setup, etc… to get ready for the project.
– Alpha version development: Our dedicated team of 25 members constructed and tested the Alpha version in 10 months. For client acceptance, a team of 5 people visited and worked – with us for 2 weeks in September 2022.
– Beta version development: Getting great feedback and up-to-date solutions after acceptance, we continued the project and successfully launched the Beta version.
– Launching the final version.

During the project, we also send our engineers to work onsite with the client in the U.S. to deepen mutual understanding of needs and challenges and ensure project alignment.
