Who are you (Alexander Frisk)?

My name is Alexander Frisk and I work as a Product Manager on Outnorth & Fjellsport. As the Product Owner, my role involves defining the product vision, setting priorities, collaborating with stakeholders, and ensuring the product’s value and quality. I work closely with the development team, including the ones from Developers Shore, to align on requirements, features, and the overall direction of the product.

Describe the scope of the project with Developers Shore

As the Product Owner in charge of a newly developed Product Information Management (PIM) system, the scope of the project with Developers Shore includes defining and overseeing the development, implementation, and go-live activities for the PIM system. The project scope would encompass the functionalities, features, integration requirements, timelines, and deliverables related to the PIM system’s development. Today we have two fullstack developers from Developers Shore in this project.

For what projects did your company hire Developers Shore, and what were your goals?

Our company hired Developers Shore to aid the core team with the development of a new PIM system. The goal was to create an efficient and comprehensive platform for managing product information, improving data accuracy, enabling easy updates, and enhancing overall product information flow.

How did you select Developers Shore and what were the deciding factors?

We chose Developers Shore because it was the right timing for the project and the availability of the certain competence we were looking for was hard to find. Our system is developed in a pretty unusual language called Clojure and it was difficult to find people to hire who had the right skills. It would have been a long process to hire the right consultant or alternatively the person would have had to learn the programming language as a part of the process. Now we got consultants with the right skills at the right time.

At this point in the project, measurable outcomes is that the first version of the new system is going live soon, all core modules is in place and successful integration with existing systems.
