Case Study: Mobile Device Data Synchronization Company achieves rapid market entry, top-5 market position and 8× cost savings with Apriorit

Mobile Device Data Synchronization Company - Customer Case Study

Mobile Device Data Synchronization Company engaged Apriorit to build a PC solution for mobile device data synchronization but faced major challenges: heterogeneous device drivers and data formats, undocumented protocols requiring heavy reverse engineering, rapidly changing platforms (including the arrival of Android and iPhone), hard-to-reproduce end-customer environments, and the need for an agile, scalable architecture. The customer also could not cost-effectively recruit the rare, cross-disciplinary team required, so the work was scoped as an Offshore Development Center engagement with Apriorit.

Apriorit assembled an all‑round team (11 developers, 3 QA, 1 business analyst and 1 project manager working with the client) and used an Agile process with new releases every 2–3 months. Apriorit implemented device-monitoring and logistics/legal processes and developed a remote “digital imprint” method to reproduce customer device environments with almost 100% accuracy. The result: a Top‑5 market product that is frequently updated and supports a wide range of devices, a roadmap extending two more years, and a first‑year development cost estimated at about 8 times less than onshore US options.
