Vodafone IT outsourcing for custom web development
IT outsourcing service for the renewal of the company website
After almost a year of development, Vodafone's new website, the New Portal, went live in the summer of 2021, with LogiNet providing IT outsourcing services with a larger front-end and back-end development team.
Introduction
LogiNet has been supporting Vodafone as a software development outsourcing partner since 2009. The tasks have been numerous, including the maintenance of the Vodafone webshop, the implementation of integrations (delivery and payment systems) and support of website development.
In addition to these projects, we also supported Vodafone in internal squad teams, typically involving project managers, scrum masters, frontend and backend developers, and testers through IT staff augmentation.
Objectives and challenges
In early 2020, Vodafone decided to renew its platforms by merging with UPC. These included a new shop and the Vodafone website (vodafone.hu). For the latter, they asked for LogiNet's help, hoping that, with their years of experience, they could jointly create a better and more manageable site using IT outsourcing.
The telecom provider chose the Vue.js framework, a technology that LogiNet, one of the leading software development outsourcing companies, had already implemented in other projects. They were able to leverage this experience to develop the portal, including the design, specification, and architecture, which was developed in collaboration with Vodafone experts.
Solution
The development of the Vodafone Portal started in May 2020. The size of the outsourced team working on the project varied flexibly according to the needs, with 11 specialists working on the project for most of its nearly one-year development period. This team was structured around a staff augmentation approach, with the majority of members being front-end developers, along with back-end developers and a business analyst.
The LogiNet IT outsourcing team worked closely with the Vodafone development team, showcasing the effectiveness of IT outsourcing services.
Results
The development of the Vodafone Portal was carried out according to a predefined roadmap, which at times required a tight pace. At the end of the project, which lasted almost a year, the client was satisfied with the product, which included more than 300 pages of static content.
As part of the project, the previous Liferay portlets (e.g., directory enquiries) were migrated to Vue components. Additionally, some applications (e.g., web directory enquiries, shopping cart management, offer management) for upc.hu needed to be developed to be connected to the Vodafone portal.
The benefits of the LogiNet IT outsourcing service were also evident here. Our team members are not only highly skilled in the latest technologies but also ready to take on any task with humility and commitment. We embrace challenges and enjoy approaching tasks with innovative solutions.
Conclusion
LogiNet's IT outsourcing services played a key role in Vodafone's new portal development, providing flexible expertise and close collaboration. The partnership enabled the creation of a user-friendly, efficient website, supporting Vodafone's growth post-UPC merger. This success showcases how strategic outsourcing drives innovation and enhances digital capabilities in telecom.
