Business Matters

sustained software delivery

The Problem

The client was facing opportunity costs from delays and needed to scale a software engineering team quickly.

  • Software development needs were complex because the client’s
  • custom IoT hardware was being developed in parallel and required low-level code to support the software goals
  • Product development teams perform best when co-located. Having an end-to-end solution built by a co-located team was essential for the success of the product.

The Trantor team supported the project by delivering the following software solutions:

  • Kernel-level code to support the custom IoT platform based on Android AOSP
  • Applications that run on the custom flavor of Android and support the low-level functions
