firstly...
Taking care of a good cash flow in the company and looking for savings is one of the main tasks of every entrepreneur. Using an external IT department, you do not have to worry about recruitment costs, workplace preparation, employee salary or additional benefits. You pay purely and simply for the time worked by the employee.
secondly...
Business continuity is crucial for technology companies. We know this, which is why we meet your expectations by offering possibilities that are unavailable while having the internal IT department. The key to the success of your business is for you to focus on growing your business. We will take care of the programming :)
thirdly...
The needs of companies change depending on the period of time, the market situation or the current position of the company. An external IT department allows you to manage your needs flexibly. You use our services less when there is less work, and when there is more work than usual we provide extra people.
fourthly ...
Running a business is a lot of responsibility and a lot of stress. We want to take at least some of that burden off you. Instead of recruiting or monitoring developers, focus on your business and leave the technical issues to us.
fifthly...
The needs of companies that use digital products are not only programmers. These are also graphic designers, server administrators or SEO specialists. By using external IT support, you can benefit from a range of competencies that your business will need. Without the need to hire an entire team.

Poland’s Research Panel Ariadna is an online survey panel that allows gathering the opinions of the Polish people on various topics concerning everyday life. More than 300,000 respondents have already registered with the Ariadna research panel, making the company a leader in its segment. For completed surveys, respondents receive points that can be exchanged for interesting and attractive prizes.
OPB Ariadna has developed very dynamically. Conducting more and more research has required many changes in the way projects and staff are managed. The previous service provider was unable to adapt to their growing needs. It, therefore, needed a partner to prepare it technologically for new challenges. Above all, it needed a company that would build and integrate new applications and programmes that would allow them to continue to grow.
We began our cooperation with the client by conducting an audit, which allowed us to identify areas for improvement.
As a result, one of the first tasks became improving the speed of the servers. The increasing amount of data collected caused slowdowns and errors, e.g. in the delivery of emails. For this reason, we moved the databases to new servers and implemented the EmailLabs tool in order to improve mail functioning.
We also prepared for the client a twin-track plan for the development of current and future applications and we structured the client's processes. We also provided the client with an external CTO and project manager who represented the company at customer meetings as a technical responsible person.
The client gained new, properly functioning applications that did not require constant repair and configuration. After our intervention, it was also able to efficiently send out nearly 5 million surveys per month thanks to an efficient mailing system and server optimisation. Thanks to the "CTO on demand" service, the client has also gained a partner in discussions with contractors and support in IT management without having to hire a specialist.

Design by Śliwka Nałęczowska is an annual competition for graphic designers organised by the producer of the famous chocolate-covered plums, Solidarność.
In 2017 we were approached by a PR agency that organises the Design by Sliwka Nałęczowska competition for the company Solidarność. The huge interest in the competition meant that each year, in the final days before the deadline for entries, the application ran very unstably. In addition, the very simple competition application was generating a lot of work for jury members and company employees instead of making it easier.
We started our work by analysing the problems that had occurred in recent years. We analysed the history of the competitions, the number of entries, the traffic on the site and we checked the logs and the history of the server. Then we conducted a series of interviews with people who are involved in this project. We wrote down the biggest problems that make their work more difficult and time-consuming when judging the applications and choosing the winners.
Aware of the problems, we began to come up with a solution. Based on the Silex microframework, we created a simple and easy application that could handle a large amount of traffic generated by participants in the last hours of the competition. We eliminated unnecessary solutions that only increased page loading time. Next, we created a dedicated panel for jury members and employees of the agency that handles the competition. By automating and streamlining the tasks they previously had to do manually, their work has become easier and much faster. We have also launched a new server environment that enables dynamic management of the settings. As a result, during the final days of the competition, when participants are adding the most entries, the application runs just as fast and stable.

The Whites Agency is a digital marketing agency working for some of the biggest companies in the country. It brings together experts in marketing strategy, content marketing, performance marketing, social media and web analytics.
A customer with over 100 employees needed support in the daily work of their teams. The biggest problem was a large number of repetitive tasks, such as preparing SEO reports. Employees had to manually operate on huge databases, which was time-consuming as well as made analysis and calculations difficult. The IT department, on the other hand, was too busy working for the agency's clients and had no time to improve internal processes.
The project for Whites was carried out by two developers with the support of a project manager who passed on the arrangements from discussions with the client.
At the very beginning, we proposed improvements to internal work in the client's teams. Among other things, we carried out the integration of the client's tools with Google Analytics and Search Console. We also implemented cyclical and automatic generation of reports on SEO activities and sending them to clients.
Additionally, we supported Whites in their SEO efforts by creating a proprietary keyword substitution algorithm. This enabled them to achieve even better results. We also supplemented their team with our developers in the "IT-as-a-Service" model, so that they can execute their contracts even more efficiently.
The most important achievement of the project was the automation of repetitive processes. As a result, the client freed up a lot of its employees' time, increased their job satisfaction and efficiency. It also increased the capacity of its IT department by gaining support from additional programmers. This provided the company with efficient technical support with a short response time and relieved the team, so they could complete their client work even more efficiently.
Babaco is a provider of a VOD platform with didactic videos for teachers, which decided to implement a new web application.
Babaco approached us in late 2020. They had an application almost ready, but due to numerous bugs and a poorly planned architecture, they could not bring it to market yet.
What's more, the client was concerned about time - they wanted to launch the product on 4 January. They needed the support of a partner who could provide them with a functional and properly functioning application in a short period of time. An additional challenge was to enable recurring and one-time payments, as well as to create a demo package (it allows access to all videos, but you can watch no more than 3 minutes).
Based on our experience, after analysing the existing application we advised the client against changing it. Rebuilding it at this stage would be time-consuming, costly and inefficient. Instead, we suggested creating a functional and error-free application from scratch.
Delivering such a project in less than a month was a huge challenge, which we managed to overcome thanks to the readiness of the team and good methodology. The task was carried out by 5 developers, including freelancers, who provided us with extra pairs of hands in the hectic pre-Christmas period. Back-end, front-end and DevOps work was carried out in parallel, and improvements were implemented on an ongoing basis. We tested the almost ready product just before the December holidays.
Thanks to this, on 31 December we handed over a ready, error-free application to the client, which we soon equipped with a functional administration panel. We also solved the problematic issue of payments - we implemented two separate systems and integrated them with the invoicing system.
The client received exactly what he wanted: a functional and bug-free MVP created in less than a month, in addition to being delivered in the hectic pre-Christmas and Christmas period.
"Let's Paint Together" is an educational application for teachers created for the French company BIC - a manufacturer of school supplies and stationery.
Our client was a PR agency running a project for the BIC company. They needed a contractor to program an application they had designed with teaching materials for teachers.
The project posed a number of challenges. The application had to be easy to use, as it was to be used mainly by non-technical people. Managing a large amount of teaching content and its publication was also a difficulty. The materials also needed to be secured against dissemination.
The short time for implementation - we had less than two months - did not make things any easier.
Four specialists with different competencies worked on the project for BIC. We implemented back-end, front-end and DevOps separately.
To make it easier to manage the material in the app, we suggested dividing content into categories. We also automated long forms, which improved the publication of content. We have also implemented a proprietary algorithm that applies watermarks to files when they are downloaded.
In the end, we also conducted online training for the client to teach the team how to use the tool.
The client gained a complete product with a functional administration panel in less than 60 days. The application was simple enough to be mastered by anyone working with content creation. All materials were also protected with an automatically generated watermark assigned to the user, preventing duplication.
