DISCOVERY PHASE FOR AN EXTERNSHIP PLATFORM

About the project:

A platform that aims to revolutionize the externship coordination process. Acting as a central hub, it seamlessly connects educational institutions and clinics, fostering collaboration and streamlining the externship experience for all stakeholders involved.

The client:

The customer is a U.S.-based provider of advanced eTraining clinical programs. Dedicated to helping people pursue their careers in healthcare, the customer aims to help their clients find the best possible guidance, practical experience in healthcare, and better career prospects.

Business challenge:

The main problems are the lack of efficient coordination and communication between healthcare and educational institutions, a large number of manual processes in both domains that are time-consuming and hard to manage, and the lack of a centralized data platform for both educational and healthcare institutions.

The customer recognized an opportunity to bridge this gap between the domains with a solution relying on data-driven matching algorithms and user-friendly interfaces. However, there were too many factors to consider while planning the solution, including its functionality, development roadmap, tech stack, architecture, and UI/UX design. The customer needed a partner with significant technology expertise to plan everything properly.

Value delivered:

 - Accurate estimates providing the customer with a vision of project cost, timelines, team composition, and the ways of implementing both business and user requirements.

 - Thorough planning securing the client from unpredictable challenges and budget overruns.

 - High-level project requirements allowing the customer to understand how and through which features they can bridge the gap between educational institutions and clinics providing externship opportunities.

 - A vision of project architecture, tech stack, and UI/UX design creating a clear roadmap to project implementation.
