Challenge

This is the third year in which the site is fully functional, and the client was getting ready for the start of the new Premier League season. During the preparations they lost their main developer, and with the season fast approaching, they were worried that they may not be ready for the opening weekend, which would be a critical blow to the business.

It was especially worrying as their main competitor had just gone under, and with a bulk of their users looking for a replacement platform, not being launch ready would crippling to the business. With just days left before the start of the season and a lot of the project still in limbo, they needed a tech team that would be willing to take on a big project, learning the intricacies of the gameplay and (90K+ lines of code!) to be ready for the big day.

Solution

After researching several dev shops, the RPL team reached out to Nopio and, even on this short notice, realized they would be an ideal partner. Initial conversations gave Nopio enough to get started, and the team quickly hammered out the nitty gritty details while on the job.

Priorities were established, with the critical features for the purpose of keeping the users happy. Nopio came up with the support strategy to keep the project going, allowing for some additional development on a tight budget. The key points of the plan include:

Review and make sure all moving parts of the system are operating and will automatically restart in case of server downtime
Tentative server performance monitoring and setup of alerting to prevent outages during the intense times, such as game nights
Providing a team of capable engineers who can cover for each other absences so there are no days without someone available to react to issues.
Assisting and consulting with the ROTO team about the updates and possible enhancements.

Values

Getting Nopio on board with the project allowed ROTO to launch the new season on time, with additional support to make sure someone is there to fix any game day issues if something goes wrong. The team got on board quickly, in just a matter of days and were able to support the project in the most critical time of the year.

Customer story

Stephen Schaller Founder, Roto Premier League

Piotr and his team have been nothing short of fantastic. I’ve worked with four overseas development teams on this project and Nopio stands at the very top of the list in terms of the quality of work. Their willingness to accommodate us during a stressful situation will forever endear me, and I hope we work with them for years to come.
