Earth Technology Integration provides ‘Emergency Operations Center’ software solutions: web apps that government entities rely on in times of crisis. Designli provides full-time development support to help maintain –and iterate on – these systems’ feature sets.
We were approached by Earth Technology Integration’s leadership team after having successfully built their suite of software applications through a decade of engineering work and secured government contracts. What ETI needed help with was ongoing maintenance of the robust software system, including new design and development work for additional web-apps that are spun up for new contract awards.
Our Graphic Design & Prototyping process proved helpful for stakeholder validation for the new interface for our ‘pilot project’ - which tied into the existing look-and-feel of the rest of the ETI web-apps. However, even more valuable was having a Designli Product Owner (with Graphic Design prowess) head up the development team thereafter, helping manage the Dedicated Product Team and provide design mockups across any new features or systems that were being rolled out. Today, our Product Owner is the key design resource that ETI relies on across all its systems.
Today, Designli provides a Dedicated Product Team to help support the existing ETI software ecosystem, and to build new features or entire systems when new government contracts demand it. With a full-time Front-end Web developer, Backend Web developer, and part-time Product Owner / Graphic Designer, EIT is humming along with regularly-scheduled product update and review meetings and an organized system for managing its features backlog.
