Case Study: Accourt and Pulsion Collaboration

In collaboration with Accourt, Pulsion spearheaded a groundbreaking project to overhaul an obsolete Fraud Management System for a leading UK financial institution. The legacy system, built on SharePoint, faced challenges in reporting, scalability, and user interface. Pulsion implemented a state-of-the-art, serverless solution hosted on Amazon Web Services (AWS), providing a robust, scalable, and cost-effective alternative.

The AWS serverless architecture resulted in reduced infrastructure costs, eliminated maintenance issues, ensured scalability, and enhanced reliability across multiple Availability Zones. The new system accommodates over 2,000 users and handles 20,000 transactions per month. It has successfully undergone independent audits, underscoring Pulsion’s commitment to high-quality delivery. Vaughan Collie, Managing Partner at Accourt, lauded the project’s outcomes, emphasizing the system’s robustness and efficiency.

Hybrid Development Outsourcing Models

Extended Team Augmentation Model

In this approach, you outsource dedicated hybrid programmers who work remotely to support your existing development team. They operate from their own locations, bringing specialised skills to enhance your team’s capabilities.

This model provides the flexibility to scale your development resources as necessary, allowing you to add extra support during peak periods or for high-intensity projects. It is also more cost-effective than employing permanent developers, reducing the overall development and maintenance costs you would otherwise face.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you need to outsource dedicated developers to temporarily boost your team’s skill set.
  • When you have demanding short-term projects that don’t justify hiring permanent staff.
  • When you require expertise in a specific programming language that your in-house team is not familiar with.

Project-Based Dedicated Development Model

Our second outsourcing model allows you to outsource and hire dedicated developers or teams to manage the entire project as an outsourced team, ideal for working across different time zones and large tech stacks needed.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you have a well-defined project with clear timelines, milestones, and end goals.
  • When you need to keep costs fixed, typically paying a flat rate per project.
  • When the project requires a dedicated team of developers that you do not have the time to manage yourself.

Fully Managed Team Model

In the fully managed team model, you’ll hire a dedicated hybrid development team to work exclusively on your project. This team will operate remotely but will function as an extension of your in-house team, providing seamless integration with your operations. The team includes all the dedicated developers you need, along with a project manager to oversee the entire process. Depending on the project’s requirements, other experts, such as user experience designers, may also be included. This approach accelerates project delivery compared to building your own team from scratch. All resources are fully skilled, experienced, and ready to start immediately.

When to Choose This Kind of Extended Team Model
  • When you have a large or complex project requiring a diverse range of skills and specializations.
  • When you lack the in-house software developers or expertise needed for the project.
  • When you need a dedicated project manager in addition to the development team and do not want to divert internal resources or lack development managers.

Handy Tool: Estimate Your App Development Cost

 

Yes, Pulsion offers workshops and training sessions tailored to your team’s needs. These sessions can help your team better understand hybrid app development processes and technologies, ensuring a smoother development journey.

Several factors influence the cost of hybrid app development, including:

  • The complexity and functionality of the app
  • The number of platforms the app will support
  • Design and user interface requirements
  • Integration with third-party services
  • Maintenance and updates post-launch

Yes, ongoing costs are associated with maintaining a hybrid app. These can include costs for hosting, updates, bug fixes, security patches, and new feature additions. Regular maintenance ensures that the app remains functional and secure over time.

The development time for a hybrid app can range from a few months to over a year, depending on the complexity of the project, the number of features, and the development team’s size and experience. On average, a moderately complex hybrid app may take about 4-6 months to develop.

Suitability and Choices

Hybrid app development allows you to create a single app that can run on both iOS and Android platforms, reducing development time and cost. It is especially beneficial when you need to reach a broader audience quickly without the need for maintaining separate codebases for each platform.

When choosing a hybrid app development company, consider the following:

  • Their portfolio and past projects
  • Client testimonials and reviews
  • Their expertise in the relevant technologies and frameworks
  • Their approach to project management and communication
  • Cost and flexibility in pricing

Hybrid app development is best suited for projects that:

  • Require a presence on multiple platforms
  • Have budget constraints
  • Need faster time-to-market
  • Do not require heavy reliance on platform-specific features or high-performance graphics

Hybrid apps generally offer good performance but may not match the level of performance and responsiveness of native apps, especially for graphics-intensive applications. However, advancements in hybrid frameworks are continually closing this performance gap.

Key hybrid and native app development considerations are:

  • Budget and timeline
  • Target audience and platform usage
  • Performance requirements
  • Access to device-specific features
  • Long-term maintenance and scalability
Capabilities and Limitations

Custom hybrid app development involves creating a tailored app solution using hybrid technologies that meet the specific needs and requirements of your business. This process includes custom design, unique features, and integration with other systems or services.

Hybrid apps are developed using web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and are typically wrapped in a native container that runs on both iOS and Android operating systems.

Common hybrid app limitations include:

  • Potential performance issues compared to native apps
  • Limited access to some device-specific features
  • Dependence on third-party frameworks and plugins

Yes, hybrid apps can access many native device features through plugins and APIs, but there may be limitations compared to native apps.

While hybrid apps have improved significantly, they may still lag behind native apps in performance, especially for high-performance requirements. The choice of framework and optimization practices can mitigate many performance issues.

Advantages and Unique Aspects

Hybrid app development services encompass the entire process of creating and maintaining a hybrid app, including design, development, testing, deployment, and ongoing support. These services ensure that the app is functional, user-friendly, and up-to-date.

Popular frameworks for hybrid app development include:

  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • Ionic
  • Xamarin

Main benefits include:

  • Cost-effectiveness
  • Faster development and time-to-market
  • Single codebase for multiple platforms
  • Easier maintenance and updates

Hybrid apps use responsive design techniques and consistent styling across platforms, ensuring a similar look and feel regardless of the device or operating system. This approach helps maintain a unified user experience.

Successful examples of hybrid apps include:

  • Instagram
  • Twitter
  • Uber
  • Evernote
Usage and Ecosystem

A hybrid app development company specialises in building apps that work across multiple platforms using hybrid technologies. They handle the entire development process, from initial consultation and design to development, testing, deployment, and maintenance.

Hybrid apps are developed by teams of software developers, often within specialized app development companies. These teams typically include designers, developers, testers, and project managers.

Popular tools and frameworks include:

  • React Native
  • Flutter
  • Ionic
  • Xamarin
  • Apache Cordova

Support and maintenance include:

  • Regular updates and bug fixes
  • Performance optimization
  • Security patches
  • Feature enhancements
  • Technical support

Hybrid apps are deployed to app stores in the same way as native apps. They need to be packaged and submitted to the respective app stores (Google Play Store for Android and Apple App Store for iOS) following their guidelines and requirements.

Project Management and Execution

Yes, Pulsion can take over a failing hybrid mobile and app development project. This involves assessing the current state of the project, identifying issues, and proposing a recovery plan. Pulsion’s expertise can help realign the project with its original goals and ensure successful completion.

You can track the progress of hybrid app solutions through regular updates and reports from the development team, using project management tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana, and maintaining open communication channels with the developers.

Risk Management

To assess and mitigate risks, use well-defined contracts with clear terms on deliverables, timelines, and penalties for non-compliance. Regularly monitor progress through established key performance indicators (KPIs) and maintain open communication channels to address any issues promptly.

Pulsion ensures data security and confidentiality by implementing robust security protocols, such as encryption, secure coding practices, regular security audits, and compliance with industry standards and regulations. Confidentiality agreements and access controls further protect sensitive information.
