Architecture review that saved us from a vendor decision we would have regretted for years

Aoife Brennan / VP of Product Engineering - Emerald Digital Ltd

Project summary: The project had a board-facing delivery date tied to a strategic initiative. We needed a partner who would treat that date as their own, not ours.

We had worked with three agencies before this engagement. The comparison is not flattering to the others. What distinguished this team was a systematic approach to understanding the problem before proposing a solution — something that sounds obvious and is practiced far less often than it should be. The delivery phase ran to schedule, the codebase is clean enough that our internal engineers made positive comments during handover review, and we have not logged a critical incident in five months of live operation. We intend to use them for our next phase of work.

PROS

Clear and consistent communication adapted appropriately for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, shared tooling that gave our team real-time visibility, reliable sprint delivery throughout

CONS

We underestimated the input required from our subject matter experts during the requirements phase. The team flagged this early but our resource planning did not fully reflect it — our responsibility, not theirs

Questions & Answers

Please describe your company, your role, and the industry you operate in.
I lead technology at Emerald Digital Ltd, a growth-stage Events & Event Management business based in Dublin, UK. As VP of Product Engineering my remit spans product engineering, platform operations, and strategic vendor partnerships. We had reached an inflection point where our internal capacity was not sufficient to execute our roadmap at the pace our market required.
What specific problem or business challenge led you to hire this company?
Regulatory requirements in our Events & Event Management segment had changed and the compliance timeline was set by our regulator, not by us. The IT Consulting changes required were significant enough to justify engaging a specialist partner rather than diverting our internal team from the product roadmap.
What services did the company provide for your project?
Primarily IT Consulting, with adjacent work in solution architecture and quality assurance. They were responsible for the full build from requirements through to go-live, including integration with four existing systems in our technology landscape. The breadth they covered without requiring additional vendors was commercially and logistically valuable.
Why did you choose this company over other providers you considered?
A trusted peer in the Events & Event Management sector had used them for a comparable IT Consulting engagement and their recommendation was unequivocal. Our own due diligence confirmed the pattern they described. The combination of domain knowledge, IT Consulting depth, and demonstrated delivery discipline was the deciding factor.
How clearly did the company understand your requirements and business goals?
Thoroughly and precisely. The requirements document they produced was detailed enough that our QA team used it directly to write acceptance criteria. Every user story had a defined business objective attached. Nothing was left to interpretation. That discipline in the requirements phase paid dividends throughout development and testing.
How was your overall experience with their communication and project management?
The project management framework was the most structured I have experienced with an external vendor. Sprint planning was tight, acceptance criteria were specific, retrospectives were honest and acted on. The project manager treated the shared backlog as a live document and the risk register as an operational tool rather than a compliance artefact. I never had to ask for a status update.
Did the company deliver the project on time and within your expected budget?
The project landed on time. The budget was managed within the agreed ceiling, which included one client-driven scope addition that was quoted fairly and handled without affecting the original delivery stream. The discipline around budget transparency throughout meant there was no surprise at invoice stage.
What tangible results or business impact have you seen since the project was completed?
The ROI case we presented to our board was conservative by design. Current performance against the financial model suggests we will hit the projected payback point in under twelve months against an eighteen-month target. The operational efficiency gains in particular have exceeded the model, in part because the quality of the data the new platform generates supports decisions that the previous system could not.
What did you like most about working with this company?
The continuity of the team. The engineers who participated in the discovery sessions were the engineers who built the system. That consistency of institutional knowledge across a six-month project has a value that is difficult to quantify but easy to notice when it is absent. Every conversation built on the previous ones.
Would you recommend this company to others, and would you work with them again?
Yes, without reservation. I have already made two direct referrals within my Events & Event Management network — in both cases to peers facing IT Consulting challenges similar to ours. I gave those referrals with confidence because I knew the experience I described was reproducible, not the result of exceptional circumstances on our engagement.

FAQs

What does Catalyte's actual delivery process look like week to week?
Catalyte generally runs something close to a standard structured process — requirements gathering, UI/UX design, development in agile sprints, QA testing along the way, deployment, and support once it's live. For context, it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Events & Event Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Food & Beverage and Sports & Fitness, and its average project cost is reported at $100000+.
Does Catalyte only work locally, or take on clients elsewhere too?
Catalyte isn't necessarily limited to one region and may take on clients across several countries, including USA, depending on market demand and business partnerships.
What are the actual contract options if I want to work with Catalyte?
Most companies structured like Catalyte give you a choice between a fixed-price contract, a dedicated team arrangement, or time-and-materials billing, so you can pick whichever lines up with your budget and how well-defined your scope already is. For context, its listed capabilities span Digital Strategy, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
Has Catalyte actually shipped a SaaS product before?
It's a common line of work for a company like Catalyte — multi-tenant architecture, subscription billing hooked up properly, and cloud-native deployment built for a product meant to scale as a service rather than a one-off build. For context, its listed capabilities span Digital Strategy, Mobile App Development, UI-UX Design and Web Development, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
Does Catalyte actually build with AI, or just talk about it?
Plenty of modern software teams, Catalyte included, now build real AI and machine learning features — chatbots, predictive models, computer vision, and automation that goes beyond simple rule-based scripts. For context, it has served clients in USA, and it has been operating since 2002.
What kinds of industries has Catalyte actually built for?
Catalyte has delivered projects across a range of different industries, including Aerospace & Defense, Events & Event Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Food & Beverage and Sports & Fitness.
Can I just hire developers from Catalyte to sit alongside my own team?
Usually, yes — a dedicated developer arrangement is a common option with firms like Catalyte, where you get engineers working exclusively on your project as an extension of your in-house team rather than as a separate outsourced unit. For context, it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Events & Event Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Food & Beverage and Sports & Fitness, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
Will Catalyte sign an NDA before we even discuss the project in detail?
Most professional shops, including Catalyte, expect to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement before getting into specifics — it's a fairly standard ask and a reasonable one to make before sharing anything sensitive. For context, it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Events & Event Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Food & Beverage and Sports & Fitness, and its typical hourly rate is around N/A.
How do I actually get a real proposal out of Catalyte instead of a generic reply?
The most reliable route is giving Catalyte a clear, specific brief up front — through their website form, a direct email, or a call — since a vague ask tends to get a vague answer back, while a concrete one usually gets a proper estimate. For context, it has experience across industries such as Aerospace & Defense, Events & Event Management, Human Resources, Information Technology, Food & Beverage and Sports & Fitness, and its average project cost is reported at $100000+.
