VF Solutions ensures success of a large web site development initiative—first using a Code Review from XMi Technology

The Business Challenge:

VF Solutions contracted with a 3rd party firm to develop multiple customer web sites. The web sites are critical to the sales and support of the customer procurement process. The firm had provided VF Solutions with their coding "standards.” Given the large technology investment that VF Solutions was making, the company wanted to make sure the firm it had engaged to develop the websites was, indeed, following those coding standards.

Client Profile:

VF Solutions is part of VF Corporation, the world’s largest apparel company. VF Corporation is comprised of over 60,000 employees in 22 countries and has over 100 years of experience. VF Solutions provides unparalleled experience, innovation, customer focus, and ongoing program management and is the global leader in designing, implementing, and managing uniform and career apparel programs.

The Answer:

XMi Technology leveraged our development experience to not only attest to the adherence to VF Solutions’ existing standards, but also to make recommended improvements to the company’s standards. XMi Technolgy’s broad span of software development experience enabled us to quickly and efficiently review the code and test its adherence to standards.

The Results:

XMi Technology assured VF Solutions that the firm they had engaged was in fact following their own standards. In addition, VF Solutions—via XMi Technology-- was also able to suggest additional standards to follow that improved the web site development project for multiple VF Solutions customers.
