01
The Problem
HMH had integrated more than 35 distinct websites across various business units into one cohesive B2C web presence. But the site suffered from poor performance and architectural design. Furthermore, they needed to extend the site to B2B as well, with an extremely urgent deadline to meet a 3-month purchase window.
“ObjectWave delivered our B2B and B2C eCommerce solutions on time and on budget with a high level of professionalism, business acumen and technical excellence – a great partner”

Approach
Bypassing the typical feature-based implementation, ObjectWave instead adopted a “SWAT Team” approach to meet the aggressive schedule, using agile development principles like assuming lead contractor responsibilities, prioritizing the highest revenue-generating items, and establishing daily checkpoints with the client to ensure progress.

Result
ObjectWave delivered on time and on budget allowing HMH to meet their customer’s 3-month purchase window. In the process, they also identified architectural issues with the B2C site, implemented short-term solutions, and developed a series of long-term options to proactively address future performance issues.
