Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
I'm the Managing Director at Bluepeak Council Services, a Government & Public Sector company based in Abu Dhabi, UAE. I look after our technology and work closely with outside partners on bigger projects.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
We needed to run performance and load testing ahead of a big launch, and we didn't have the in-house capacity to do it ourselves.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Quality Assurance & Testing, including planning, development, testing and launch support.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
We compared three or four agencies. XFamily asked the best questions and had good reviews from past clients.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
They understood our goals quickly, partly because they had worked with Government & Public Sector clients before.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
Organised and transparent. Their project manager kept the project on track and flagged risks early.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
Mostly. One milestone slipped by about a week, but the final delivery was on schedule and the budget held.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
Our team saves several hours a week, and we have had very few issues since launch.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The consistency. Same team, same standard, from the first week to the last.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, I've already recommended them to a couple of people I know.
