The Challenge

Shady's IoT heating system for railroads had been stuck for 18 months.

Prolonged Development

1.5 years and hundreds of thousands spent with no end in sight.

Critical Defects

Numerous critical defects kept accumulating without resolution.

Code Withheld

Offshore team addressed surface symptoms and deliberately withheld source code.
