Case Study: The OECD achieves seamless multi-country software development with Helmes

The OECD - Customer Case Study

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) required software development support for a suite of applications within its contact and management system, a core tool for hosting forums and virtual sessions. The organization partnered with the vendor Helmes to address this need through a collaborative development effort.

Helmes implemented a hybrid, multi-country team model with developers in Estonia, Georgia, and Hungary working alongside the OECD's team in Paris. The solution utilized rigorous security protocols, daily stand-ups, and bi-weekly sprint planning sessions to develop internet applications, a statistics module, and publishing tools. This approach was so successful that Helmes became the OECD's main software development partner in the area, with the collaboration growing steadily over three years and resulting in a thriving, multi-national effort.
