Project Profile

Challenge

Allied American Health needed to completely rebuild their website from the ground up, including the marketing side, a student login, and a partner portal.

Solution

Baytech Consulting provided custom software and web development services to build a Learning Management System (LMS) and Content Management System (CMS) for AAH. They developed a complete learning system that allowed students and members to log in, take online exams, study learning materials online, and receive certificate PDFs. Partners could also log in and monitor student progress.

Baytech Consulting also worked on mobile app development for Android and iOS, building the platform using Angular, TypeScript, .NET, C#, and ASP.NET.

The project involved development and DevOps consulting, including all containerization. Baytech Consulting adapted as needed and made changes along the way, with the original design provided by another professional.

1. Administration Portal: A backend interface providing comprehensive control and customization of course content, facilitating an adaptable course creation process for AAH staff.

2. Partner Portal: Designed for administrative users to manage student registrations and monitor academic progress efficiently.

3. Student Portal: An intuitive interface granting students easy access to courses and materials, ensuring a smooth learning journey from enrollment to certification.

4. Public Site: An outward-facing platform showcasing AAH’s educational offerings, featuring course listings, career preparation tools, and a mobile-optimized user interface to streamline registration and graduation processes.

Baytech Consulting undertook the project after an external outsourcing firm had spent two years with minimal progress. Baytech completed the project within 7 months, delivering it on time and under budget.

Technology Employed

• Frameworks & Languages: .NET Core, ASP.NET MVC Core, C#

• Database Management: PostgreSQL

• Front-End Development: TypeScript, Angular

Results & Client Feedback

Impact of the Engagement

Since we launched, our average monthly revenue shot up over 20%. Regarding traffic, Baytech Consulting installed Google Analytics, but we didn’t have it on the old website, so we unfortunately can’t compare. However, we know that sales have gone way up, and we’re getting feedback from our partner users who are giving awesome reviews online and telling us they love the site. Overall, our partners are happy and satisfied.

Project Management Performance

Project management was exceptional because they showed us the entire system they had to run their sprints. Baytech Consulting got us one consistent source of truth, and there was a clear communication platform via Microsoft Teams. It was easy to work with them because we knew the points of communication and had one platform for contact.

Additionally, they surprised us multiple times throughout the journey and hit the milestones quicker than we thought.

Team Acknowledgements

Michael did an amazing job on Microsoft Teams. I could write out a bug for debugging or a design requirement, and he would like the message within 10 seconds and respond within 30 seconds, which was incredible.

Impressive Aspects

Their clear metric results and accountability were impressive. We actually tried three development companies before Baytech Consulting and scrapped the entire project twice. We just started again with new goals, so this was our third company. We were incredibly satisfied with their results because they were the only ones that brought tangible outcomes.

Areas for Improvement

They were expensive, but we got what we paid for. The code and systems were cutting-edge, and we got incredible documentation for everything along the way. Overall, we paid for the clear communication and actual results.

Advice for Potential Customers

We had a lot of success because we had a clear MVP in mind and laid out the design and project requirements beforehand. You always risk developing problems if you have scope creep, so I recommend ensuring that you’re clear when you come in. They’ll build exactly what you want.
