00:00:05.420 --> 00:00:09.380
 >> My name is Novell Gomez and I am a data science lead at a

00:00:09.380 --> 00:00:12.000
 large biotech organization.

00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.040
 I work in the commercial organization.

00:00:14.040 --> 00:00:17.320
 Our company's mission is to deliver therapies to patients, and

00:00:17.320 --> 00:00:19.400
 within their commercial organization,

00:00:19.400 --> 00:00:22.800
 we strive to deliver insights to sales reps and

00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:26.320
 marketing representatives to help deliver that message.

00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:29.550
 Working with Sofi Labs allowed us to deliver on the vision that

00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:30.120
 we had for

00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:34.960
 the product and allowed us to work with the sales

00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:35.920
 representatives,

00:00:35.920 --> 00:00:40.600
 get their feedback incorporated, and they love the application.

00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:42.960
 They also care about the outcomes.

00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:46.440
 How will people react to the application?

00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.720
 Will they like it?

00:00:47.720 --> 00:00:51.080
 And are we delivering value to the organization?

00:00:51.080 --> 00:00:53.520
 So that was very aligned with our goals.

00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:57.280
 Once we started working with Sofi Labs, it was really great to

00:00:57.280 --> 00:00:58.140
 see that they cared

00:00:58.140 --> 00:01:01.350
 about the details, they cared about the quality of what was

00:01:01.350 --> 00:01:02.520
 being delivered.

00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:05.320
 And I didn't have to worry about the small stuff.

00:01:05.320 --> 00:01:08.540
 I could focus on the vision of the application, getting the

00:01:08.540 --> 00:01:09.120
 feedback from

00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:12.680
 users, and selling the application to management, and

00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.320
 not worry about whether the application worked or

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:18.400
 whether it was meeting the goals.

00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:21.400
 The team understood that and delivered on that mission.

00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:25.800
 Sofi Labs went the extra mile by really taking charge of

00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:29.000
 the product management within the application.

00:01:29.000 --> 00:01:33.400
 I've worked with many other developers, and I felt a sense of

00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:34.280
 ownership

00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:39.680
 where they actually cared about delivering something that was

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:40.880
 of good quality.

00:01:40.880 --> 00:01:45.760
 And that met our expectations, simple things like the design.

00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:50.440
 They took charge of that and made sure that the quality of the

00:01:50.440 --> 00:01:51.360
 design was good.

00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.540
 And that things looked well for the end user.

00:01:56.540 --> 00:02:00.360
 The Sofi Labs services were different than other software

00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:01.360
 developers that I've

00:02:01.360 --> 00:02:02.880
 worked with.

00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:06.040
 They took control, took charge of the project,

00:02:06.040 --> 00:02:10.480
 took care of the project management and product management.

00:02:10.480 --> 00:02:14.360
 They also made sure we followed a good process as far as doing

00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:14.920
 an inception

00:02:14.920 --> 00:02:18.320
 workshop and making sure everybody was aligned on the vision of

00:02:18.320 --> 00:02:18.800
 where we wanted

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:20.160
 to go.

00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:24.910
 In addition to that, they cared about quality, they cared about

00:02:24.910 --> 00:02:26.240
 code reviews.

00:02:26.240 --> 00:02:29.880
 They cared about the things that are important in a long-term

00:02:29.880 --> 00:02:31.160
 relationship in

00:02:31.160 --> 00:02:34.320
 an application that we wanted to last for a long time.

00:02:34.320 --> 00:02:38.600
 Making sure that the code is well tested and documented and

00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:42.480
 well architected are very important, and they cared about that.

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:44.800
 If someone asked me if they should work with Sofi Labs, I would

00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:46.000
 definitely say yes.

00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:49.380
 They care about the client, the project, the quality of what's

00:02:49.380 --> 00:02:50.480
 being delivered and

00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:53.460
 making sure that it meets the client's expectations.

00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:56.460
