Playtech needed to build a significant team of experts in Liferay Solutions – the enterprise open-source software. This R&D team would, our partner hoped, eventually exceed 100 people and be able to support the needs of several of their own big clients.
Like most tech stacks in today’s market, high-level Liferay experts are thin on the ground so putting together a team of 100+ was a huge challenge. The difficulty is multiplied by the fact that it is not only a case of managing to hire so many Liferay experts – hard enough.
They also had to be moulded into an effective team, able to handle multiple projects in a coordinated and efficient way.
Thanks to our expertise in building collaboration portals and providing software development outsourcing services, K&C were able to assist Playtech in building and developing the R&D center for Liferay Solutions.
K&C helped to build Liferay proficiency in the Client’s new core team by delivering training where necessary and providing ongoing support. At the moment there are more than 100 engineers working in Playtech’s Liferay team.
Additionally, K&C ramped up 2 dedicated teams of more than 20 experienced developers from zero within just several months. Both teams worked onsite from K&C’s nearshore IT outsourcing R&D centre, driving development projects for 2 major Licensees of our Client.
We built a core team with experienced architects and developers to implement the new architecture
As a well-known and experienced employer, we managed to gradually extend the team by adding high potential additions.
By 2015, the Whitelabel platform had become strategically central to the customer.
Knowledge and key developer contracts were transferred as agreed from K&C to the new R&D center of our customer.
K&C continued support of customer projects with a team of 9 people up until 2017.
