The Client & The Challenge

Brain Power, a market leader in augmented reality educational tools, was facing a critical challenge: high turnover in their software development and DevOps teams. This was delaying product releases, lowering software quality, and negatively impacting team morale.

With a major new version of their products on the horizon, Brain Power knew they couldn’t proceed with “business as usual” — they needed a new way to build software or risk losing their market opportunity.

The team likes to feel as a team, and they are members of our company. INNOVANT’s engineers are not an external agency, they’re part of us. The responsiveness, the ability to adapt to our needs, and the level of care they show is rare. I’d recommend them to any entrepreneur seeking effective, solutions-oriented partners.

Dr. Ned Sahin

Founder & CEO, Brain Power

Hiring new engineers was taking months and incurring significant costs in recruitment fees and internal resources, only for those engineers to leave within a short time. The talent market in Cambridge, MA was overheated — salaries were climbing, quality was declining, and retention efforts weren’t working. Something had to change.

The Solution

In response to this challenge, founder Dr. Ned Sahin made a bold move: offshoring the entire development team while keeping product management and senior engineering in-house.

Brain Power began working with INNOVANT by onboarding a team of full-stack web and Android developers, directly managed by senior developers based at their headquarters. With agile methodologies, collaborative tools like JIRA, GitHub, and daily video stand-ups, the INNOVANT team quickly adapted thanks to structured workflows and video pair-programming sessions.

Once the model proved successful, Brain Power expanded the partnership to include QA, DevOps, architecture, CICD, and Scrum Master roles — all seamlessly managed within their ecosystem.
