Executive Summary
Our Customer
TIM Media are adtech veterans, powered by innovative tech solutions and granular data analytics, that amplify publisher’s content with audio.
The company created Trinity Audio Player that with the help of Amazon Polly instantly converts content from text to audio with the most natural sounding voices, continuously learns listeners’ behavior, and seamlessly integrates ads into their experience.
TIM Media provides publishers and content creators with a completely new way to boost digital assets, grow and monetize audiences, win visitors’ attention, and engage more users.
The Obstacles They Faced
TIM Media had identified in their organization that having all the development teams in house could pose a risk in terms of recruitment and rotation of employees. That is why the company decided to test an offshore team for one of their products.
How We Helped
In order to find the right vendor TIM Media negotiated with over 15 companies concerning their requirements and expectations.
After TIM Media chose Romexsoft and decided to use our IT Staff Augmentation Services, we extended their team with the tech experts that seamlessly integrated into their development processes and helped TIM Media to decrease their Total Cost of Ownership and increase development flexibility.
Due to the access to the exceptional pool of trained talents, we manage to recruit developers with the exact skill sets, knowledge and experience defined by TIM Media in line with their business objectives. Legal and financial support as well as HR activities such as on-boarding, English courses, retention and competence development of engineers are also handled by Romexsoft.
Within 2 years of mutual collaboration the team grew from 4 engineers to 10 engineers of Lead, Senior, Middle and Junior levels and is expected to extend further.
The Challenge
Outstaffing strategy was very appealing for TIM Media, however, seamless integration of outstaffed employees into the company’s infrastructure, its internal business and development processes posed a challenge.
The Solution

Technologies Used
What We Achieved Together

Among the main achievements our outstaffed team contributed to during the 2 years of mutual cooperation are: creation of two new products (Pulse and CAST Players), custom skills for smart speakers (Alexa, Google), possibility to integrate Google Ads, branded players with sponsored content, improvements in the player’s architecture, reduction of the SLA time of e2e tests from 45 minutes to 10 minutes and much more.
