When COVID-19 sent demand for digital money transfers soaring, Sydney-based OFX needed specialized engineers fast — and X-Team delivered staff augmentation that grew into a four-year partnership.
The ChallengePandemic IT shortages hit hard
During the COVID-19 pandemic, as demand for digital solutions surged, OFX needed to expand its in-house IT capacity. The company required high-quality, adaptable talent to handle various projects, particularly those involving React, C#, and Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The SolutionA remote staff augmentation strategy
- Targeted sourcing of skilled engineers with expertise in React, C#, and AWS to match OFX's project needs.
- Cultural fit first — candidates were vetted for smooth integration and effective collaboration with OFX's existing teams.
- Scaled on demand from a single engineer to a growing roster as OFX's needs evolved.
- Global coverage across time zones for near 24-hour support and seamless engineer-to-engineer handoffs.
- Transparent partnership built on openly shared project updates and key metrics.
