Igloo, a digital workplace technology company, was rapidly scaling their platform but faced a common challenge: they needed more development power to meet product demands and tight release timelines. Their internal team was strong but too small to move at the pace their product roadmap required.
ISU Corp partnered with Igloo to provide specialized developers through a custom team augmentation model. These developers seamlessly integrated with Igloo’s culture and workflows, helping accelerate delivery, reduce technical bottlenecks, and empower their internal team.

The Challenge
Igloo’s development team was working on a complex, enterprise-grade platform, but their internal bandwidth couldn’t keep up with the demands of product expansion and roadmap goals. They needed:
Extra development capacity, without sacrificing code quality
Engineers who could integrate quickly with their team and culture
Agile contributors who could jump into an existing system with many moving parts
Solutions to debug, optimize, and enhance internal features rapidly
What Igloo Needed:
