With our Team Extension Model (T.E.M.), our developers become an integral part of

your team for the entire duration of the project. Once our developers are assigned

to your team, we do not put them on any other projects. They work only for you and

on the full-time basis. This ensures that your project progresses smoothly through

the development cycle with no delays and fosters the relationship between you and

Svitla that is based on trust and accountability.

With the T.E.M. model, our customers not only enjoy the commitment of the Svitla’s

dedicated team and all the associated benefits of having Svitla’s team on board, but

they also benefit from our low prices. Our customers are guaranteed a locked-in

price, year to year, which protects them from running over their budget.

With the T.E.M. model, our dedicated team works hand-in-hand with your team

over the long-term, fully submersing itself into your project and becoming familiar

with your long-term business objectives, just like an internal full-time employee

would. By gaining knowledge of your domain, our team becomes an invaluable

contributor to your project as our highly qualified engineers not only implement, but

also suggest new cutting-edge technologies to help you achieve your next

technology aspirations.

With the T.E.M. model, our customers can scale up or down their operations with us

on a much shorter notice and with lower costs than they could do with their internal

resources.

Our Recruitment Department is headed by a very experienced Chief Recruiting Officer and

recruitment team, who hire only the most accomplished English-speaking Ukrainian

developers proficient in advanced technologies and familiar with different cultures.

We are known for being able to bring highly educated and skilled architects, engineers,

testers, and designers on a project within days. At Svitla, the selection of the right

candidate for a client involves 9 steps to ensure that only the right candidates reach the

final interviews stage of the selection process.

The Preparation step is when our Recruitment team clarifies the client’s business needs

and compiles a job description. The job description is then assigned to a specific recruiter,

who searches for the right candidates and produces a list of available candidates, who fit

the job description.

The candidates then go through the HR Interview, which serves as the first step to check if

there is a match between the candidate’s experience and professional skills and the job

requirements, including his/her English skills and motivation.

If the candidate passes the HR Interview, the Recruitment team writes his/her resume in

the Svitla CV format, which is prepared according to the Svitla recruitment standards. The

candidate then proceeds to an Internal Technical Interview with a Svitla expert in order to

assess his/her technical skills.

Only after the candidate passes the Internal Technical Interview, he/she is invited to a

Client Interview to make sure the client likes the candidate and candidate would be a good

fit with the client’s team.

Our proprietary Team Extension Model (T.E.M.) is the most preferred engagement model

with our customers. With the T.E.M. model, our team becomes an extension of your team.

Our team is carefully selected based on the requirements and expertise needed for your

project. Our team then works on your project only and under the same work rules as your

own team.

With the T.E.M. model, you get our fully committed and dedicated developers, who are

available for your project long-term. You can rely on them 24/7 for availability and

support. We use Agile or SCRUM methodology to ensure that the project progresses

smoothly. Communication between our team and your company is frequent and

transparent, and the code our developers produce is of high quality and elegance. Our

developers will communicate daily with your team via status calls, scrum meetings, and

face-to-face meetings when possible. With the T.E.M. model, it is very common for our

team to visits the customer’s office and work at the customer’s premises for a while. This

helps promote collegiality, better communication and collaboration between the teams.

The major advantage of the T.E.M. model is that our developers become as vested in the

success of your project as your own engineering team and take pride in completing their

work to your highest standards of satisfaction.

Besides the T.E.M. model, Svilta Systems also offers “Fixed Price” and “Time and Material”

engagement models. Contact us to discuss which engagement model would be optimal for

your project.

Ancestry.com LLC is an Internet company based in United States. Ancestry.com is the

largest genealogy company in the world and operates a network of genealogical and

historical record websites focused on the United States and nine other countries.

Ancestry.com develops and markets genealogical software and offers a wide array of

genealogical related services.

The company provides access to around 16 billion historical records for over 2 million

paying subscribers. User-generated content tallies to more than 70 million family trees and

subscribers have added more than 200 million pictures, scanned documents, and written

stories.

Svitla was first engaged in software development for Ancestry.com in 2013. Ancestry.com

needed a more enhanced version of their existing search service to offer the subscribers a

more flexible and customizable search form, for better experience. Svitla developers

designed a new search form service for Ancestry.com from the ground up. The goal was to

create a new search form service that was easily configurable and could be tailored to fit

needs of multiple consumer services used by Ancestry.com and its partner web sites.

Flexible configuration features enabled customized search form UI that exposed only

search fields relevant to a particular consumer.

To deliver the product that meets Ancestry.com’s expectation the team of Svitla

developers used the Scrum approach. Daily meetings with the customer’s product team

and frequent demos kept the product development moving in the right direction. After all

required features of the new search form service were completed and tested; Svitla

finished working on the product and submitted it to Ancestry.com for further support. As

of the time being, Ancestry.com is using the improved version of the search form service.

Besides the search form service, Svitla developers created and delivered two more line-of-

business utility applications for the internal needs of Ancestry.com. Nowadays, Svitla keeps

on working with Ancestry.com by jointly developing and improving another application

designed to review scanned documents and images from Ancestry.com’s databases.

All software Svitla has delivered to Ancestry.com was built using various modern

technologies and frameworks namely, ASP.Net MVC, ASP.Net Web API, Entity Framework,

AngularJs, MongoDb, MySql, etc. Developers put solid emphasis on software quality by

performing code reviews as well as relying on massive amount of unit and automation

tests.

www.29prime.com

Our client came up with an idea to provide unique service of business customer

advertisement and Customer feedback through various lists of social networks by using the

29Prime portal as an input point. Once Customer signed up and accessed an account, the

list of various social networks was recommended for further advertisement. Customer had

an alternative; either to select them all or choose particular networks; and the system

would be providing promotion of Customer business across the chosen networks as well as

promoting feedbacks in various searching engines.

Svitla team was responsible for developing various parts of the application. The entire

solution was built on using .Net technologies and specifically: C# (ASP.NET, ADO.NET,

LINQ), SQL, MySQL/MS SQL

Statline is a nonprofit organization that provides world-class technology and solutions for

the organ, tissue and eye donation and transplantation fields. Statline are the people

behind the services and systems, they manage the death referral intake, donation

screening, eligibility & suitability determination, dispatch and recovery coordination,

recipient matching & allocation and finally transplant management.

For Svitla Systems, Statline was one of those companies whose mission resonated with us

since we are not just an outsourcing company, but a group of people, who care about the

well-being of others, their health, and bright future. We are extremely proud to have

become a part of Statline, to have helped them evolve and bring their great ideas into life.

Svitla Systems joined Statline in the summer of 2015 with partial involvement in software

development for DonorTrac Plus and DonoRegistry. Initially, the Svitla Team included two

developers, one QA engineer, and one PM. But thanks to great results Svitla has shown, it

was decided to entrust the Svitla Team with all development processes on the

DonoRegistry project, which led to two additional developers joining in.

® is a system specifically designed to handle the entire process from a

referral to a transplant. It catches mistakes that can happen under extreme pressure,

excludes data duplications and anticipates every step of the way. It is a 24/7/365 helpdesk

support that answers any questions regarding the transplant process.

The Svitla Team Was Responsible For three major tasks on the project:

• Improve user experience by using modern JavaScript frameworks such as AngularJS,

HTML5

• Prepare the project to move to the Azure cloud

• Help the team from the US with the implementation of new features such as

improving workflow of registration of tissues, creating new reports, etc.

• Bug fixing

Technologies Used: .NET 4, ASP.NET, MVC, Entity Framework, JQuery, MS Reporting

Services, MS SQL 2012

is an online registration created to ease the process for all the

organizations that cannot afford to purchase and maintain computer hardware. The

automation and integration of Donor Registry information can expedite the donation

process and the ability to communicate a decedent’s wishes regarding the donation.

Immediate access to each registration dramatically increases the donor authorization.

The Svitla Team Was Responsible For creating a new user-friendly interface of the system,

as Statline decided to replace its old DonoRegistry with a new one that would be much

easier to use for their clients. So the Svitla Team created the new project from scratch.

Also, Svitla added support for mobile devices by exposing REST API.

Technologies Used: Asp .Net, MVC 5.0 + web API, Autofac (IoC), Entity Framework 6.0,

Angular JS.

Today Inflection is a Big Data platform that not only makes finding public documents

simple and affordable, but also offers a clear, simple, and an FCRA-compliant pre-

employment background screening: is John Smith telling truth about himself? Is there a

criminal background that might affect his ability to hold a position? What about his

employment history? Education background? GoodHire helps you answer these important

questions quickly to ensure you’re minimizing the risk of hiring a wrong candidate.

GoodHire is a product of Inflection, a trusted leader in identity search and protection.

Other related products also include PeopleSmart and IdentitySmart.

Because of the previous successful work that Svitla Systems did on the PeopleSmart.com

product, Inflection’s top management didn’t hesitate to employ a new team to do the task

and continue collaboration with Svitla Systems. The new team was assigned as a vendor

and started to work on the requirements of the future project.

As a solution for the Goodhire business needs, Svitla’s team developed a new User

Interface layout, Design of UI, System Architecture and Business Logic. It was agreed to

select the .Net technology that contains ASP.Net MVC +C#/VB.Net; XML/XSLT, CSS,

JavaScript/jQuery, AJAX, IIS as a webserver and MS SQL 2005/2008 as a database.

Svitla’s development team took an active role in defining the functional aspects of the

product, creating specifications, and outlining use cases. From the very beginning, Svitla’s

developers worked on the website development in a close collaboration with the US

partners, helping with system maintenance, testing and QA (both automatic and manual

tests). The product was launched in the U.S. market within six months of the project’s start

from scratch in 2012.

After opening up for traffic from the affiliate sites, the number of unique visits increased

more than 5 times and the number of customers doubled. Most of them continue to use

GoodHire’s services after the initial purchase, demonstrating a high level of customers’

satisfaction. GoodHire.com is free to try, allowing anyone to explore its application

benefits.

PeopleSmart is a people search engine designed to find people and connect with others,

providing access to contact information and public records. With privacy-by-design in mind

and understanding the importance of privacy protection, PeopleSmart serves people

directory needs in a safe and efficient manner. Their goal, to create products that balance

access, transparency and choice, has found appreciation with millions of users around the

world. PeopleSmart is a product of Inflection, a trusted leader in identity search and

protection. Other related products also include GoodHire and IdentitySmart.

Svitla Systems has been working on the PeopleSmart project since 2010 with the key goal:

to build and support new features of the product. One of those features was

“IdentitySmart", a special product integrated inside PeopleSmart and Offline Retrieve

Records. In 2013 it was decided to redesign PeopleSmart and move it to a new platform.

So Svitla Systems created a new FED team in addition to an existing engineering team.

Between 2013 and 2014 the team was supporting the old website and was working on the

new version. It meant data providers integration, new flows with checkouts and user

interface implementation. "New" PeopleSmart was successfully deployed in 2014.

Currently, the team continues to work on the new features and supports the old features

on PeopleSmart.

Svitla built the website using up-to-date Microsoft Technologies like ASP.NET MVC, Entity

Framework, MS SQL Server, WCF service; in addition Gulp, Redis, and NCache were used.

Today Inflection is a Big Data platform that makes finding public documents simple and

affordable. The company, under different products, has aggregated over 14 billion records,

including the US census collections, court documents, phonebooks, business filings,

obituaries, vital records, and yearbooks. Inflection makes it easy to search and retrieve

records through its innovative brands, including Archives.com and PeopleSmart.com.

Archives.com helps people build their family trees and discover their ancestors and it is

one of the fastest-growing family history websites on the Internet and a 1-year paid

subscription costs up to 80% less than the primary competitor.

Inflection started to look for a dedicated team that will convey the idea into reality. The

outsourcing approach sounded as a good way of reducing the development rate, finding a

team that is handy with progressive technology such as .Net and thus providing decent

service at lower cost for potential customers while staying efficient on the other hand. Due

to initial working experience on the PeopleSmart.com product with Ukrainian developers

of Svitla Systems, the Inflection top management didn’t hesitate too much in order to pick

the right candidate to do the task and hence to continue collaboration. Svitla Systems was

assigned as a vendor and started to work on the requirements of the future project.

As a solution for the stated above business need, the Svitla System team developed User

interface layout, Design of UI, System Architecture and Business Logic. It was agreed to

select

the .Net technology that contains ASP.Net, C++, VB.Net; XML/XSLT, CSS, JavaScript/jQuery,

AJAX, IIS as a webserver and MS SQL 2005/2008 as a data base.

The Ukrainian development team took direct participation in defining functional aspects of

the product, creating specifications, outlining use cases; working on developing web sites

from early beginning in close collaboration with US partners; helping in system

maintenance, testing and QA (automatic and manual tests).

The product was delivered to the U.S. Market within six months after project’s launch from

the scratch in 2008. Currently the dedicated team is still working on the improvements of

the product in order to keep the market value of the Archives.com.

Buddy Platform delivers a highly secure, cloud-based global platform to access, process,

shape and manage the raw data generated by hundreds of millions of connected devices,

appliances and sensors. The collection of this data is your IoT Data Graph.

Svitla Systems began to work on Buddy Project in 2015 and by now the project is finished.

This project required maximum scalability as it was an Internet of Things project, that

handled thousands requests per seconds from different connected devices such as mobile

phones, microwaves, or even aircrafts. Some parts of the application were hosted in MS

Azure, some in AWS. Svitla Systems developers worked with the core team, who were in

charge of performance and scalability. Team used SCRUM as main development process.

Also Trello boards were prepared in order to help making the development process even

more visible and transparent.

The main goal of Svitla Team (two Senior.Net developers and a Team Lead) was to improve

the core of Buddy system, add ability to handle thousands of requests per second from

customers’ devices. Among main responsibilities: fixing performance issues; refactoring,

improving application’ system architecture; increasing the application stability and

performance; Implementing new features; improving UI to make the app more user

friendly.

To achieve greater scalability, Svitla Team refactored the whole huge project to do fully

asynchronous service requests processing, starting from WebAPI/MVC controllers and

ending with MongoDB driver and other storages, refactored much tricky old-style-

asynchronous code into async/await based.

Svitla developers created a data exporter for PostgreSQL database as a target, refactored

existing MS SQL Server exporter, refactored and redesigned exporting functionality to

make it easily extendable.

In the context of making existing web portal REST API independent of web portal itself

created ASP.NET WebAPI infrastructure (including security WebAPI/OWIN extensions for

custom authentication and authorization already used in the project) and ported existing

API to the new REST service, actually redesigning controllers and making the service more

RESTful.

InterMune, Inc. is a biotechnology company with the main focus on the research,

development and commercialization of therapies in pulmonology and fibrotic diseases.

InterMune's research programs are focused on the discovery of targeted, small-molecule

therapeutics and biomarkers to treat and monitor pulmonary and fibrotic diseases.

The company is present all over the world, providing services in US, Canada and Europe (France, Austria, UK and Ireland, Germany, Italy, Nordrics). Having stock and sales data in different regions, as well as large Accounts and Representatives teams, the main challenge was to collect all data from different Data Warehouses and processed it in BI (Business intelligence) platform providing convenient execution for Managers of different levels in different departments (Sales, Financial, Executives).

BI is the set of techniques and tools for the transformation of raw data into meaningful and useful information for business analysis purposes. Thus BI helps to identify and develop new business strategies. By interpreting large volumes of data and identifying new opportunities Svitla team provided InterMune with a competitive market advantages and long-term stability. QlikView is a leading Business Intelligence and Analytics platform. Due to Gartner Magic Quadran, which allows adding 14 customers per working day across the globe, it is one of the most popular BI tools. QlikView’s unique features are: ability to rank the highest customer loyalty, provide satisfactory performance, and offer a wide variety of features. This product does not use cubes, hence QlikView loads all the tables and charts in memory to enable interactive queries and reports.

• Project Vision — general financial application that represented whole financial data

from different aspects of view.

• Sales Dashboards — applications for Sales department. Applications that started from

single template, but tuned differently for different countries due to executives

requests.

• Patient Program — application that tracked patient treatment.

• Document Analyzer — application that tracked internal document processing: flows,

documents, tasks.

• Moon Project — application that used both Financial and Sales portions of data to

present results for executives.

All applications were placed at product web-server, so users could access data with secured credentials. PV was a general project that Svitla maintained for InterMune. It had 3-tier architecture:

• Extract Script gathered all external files from different sources and stored aggregated

results in adapted form to be fast processed in QlikView platform.

• Data Model processed all data into single data structure.

• Master level stored all visual objects that users could see. Actually Master level was an

application that users had access to.

InterMune’s cooperation with Svitla started in 2013. Svilta team performed automation of reports convenient for customer’s needs. Large data amounts were processed during that time, existing solutions received new functionality, and new solutions were started based on QlikView platform. Since 2014 InterMune became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Roche.

The creation of specific social network for doctors, patients and students of medical

colleges for discussions of various issues related to personal health. Patient or doctor can

create its own group / network, every doctor gets available virtual office, the patient can

ask questions and get answers to them (public - free, private – paid). Doctors are able to

improve its reputation and accept patients from all over the U.S.

The customer decided to test his idea about social network for doctors and came to Svitla

for its knowledge and development capabilities. Product/project management was from

customer’s side and Svitla provided mainly human resources: RoR developer/system

administrator, Java developer, QA specialist as a part of a big international team. The

whole development process was divided into several stages.

At the first stage were prepared data samples using mathematics algorithms. We gathered

info about people (properties and attributes such weight, count of children, diseases, life

types and other). As a result there was a database with demo data for around 30 000

people.

After that we scrapped info about doctors from common popular medical boards (name,

specialty, location, address, phones, images, other). In total we scrapped about 20m

people from different resources (without duplicates it became 3m and the real people

were only about 1m records).

The next stage was creating a mobile application with google map and displaying doctors

around their current location. Now it’s part of more complex android application. One of

interesting part was stress test creation. Svitla Team developed an application that

emulates big amount of requests to production servers at the same time. Together with a

system administrator such script helped to find thin points in server’s configuration.

During a project work we were using multi thread programming methods and noSQL

(mongoDB) databases. To get needed data from google analytics and prepared results in

needed form we needed to deal with a 5GB log file and got info from about 20 servers.

One of the most valuable task from our side is the generation of PDF forms for visiting the

doctor and sending several parallel streams of a large number (> 70000) Weekly Digest for

doctors and patients to reflect progress on the administrator page.

The project started in middle 2010 and till the current time there were more than 5 big

releases.

Logitech designs personal peripherals to help people enjoy a better experience with the

digital world. Logitech has a broad portfolio of interface devices that are the “last inch”

between a customer and his computer or console game, digital music or home-

entertainment system. With products sold in almost every country in the world, Logitech’s

leadership in innovation now encompasses a wide variety of personal peripherals (both

cordless and corded), with special emphasis on products for PC navigation, gaming,

Internet communications, digital music and home-entertainment control.

Svitla Systems was responsible for gathering, storage and further processing of large

amounts of data received from Logitech devices. This information concerned the way

devices were used by clients so that Marketing and Production departments could make

decisions about further development and improvement. The results had to be

conveniently displayed according to given criteria.

As a solution Svitla team developed a highly reliable server that handled data coming from

all over the world. The work of the server is characterized by high efficiency and speed.

This allows taking a large amount of information using the least amount of resources. The

system is easy to use and maintain. An automatic installation allows configuring the server

and all its modules with the configuration file. A documentation package carefully saves all

information, describing server properties and detailed operations instructions.

All the way Svitla team worked in close collaboration with Logitech developers, playing

proactive role in the server creation, specification, testing and optimization.

• Java platform as a basis;

• Amazon S3, Amazon SQS - for data transfer between devices and server;

• Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon Redshift- as a database;

• Service Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) served as the server location;

• Technology Apache Hadoop for data analysis.
