Client information
Take Note is an online transcription business established in 2006 and serving industries such as Market Research, Academia, Medical, Publishing, Legal & HR.

Business challenge
Take Note is a fast-growing online transcription service. The company’s management decided to outsource the development of its new cloud platform, keeping in-house product managers and Scrum masters. However, the team had encountered several issues with development partners, either not having the same commitment to quality or the best possible outcomes. For this client, we analyzed the business and technology needs and offered the best cooperation model based on outsourcing.
Technical challenges
The client invested in building an end-to-end cloud-based platform. It is based on PHP, combined with the MongoDB database and REST API functionality. The main challenge has been the ERP-grade size and scale of the platform. It had to handle the entire workflow, from the first interaction with a customer to producing final invoices. The Take Note platform’s objective centers around the best user experience and highly secure services. Hence, we had to ensure this quality level.
Solution delivered
The final cloud system for Take Note covers all areas of the business. It offers a secure and smooth experience for clients and helps to run the whole operation with optimum efficiency. The solution allows our client to manage orders, workflows, resources, and progress of any cooperation seamlessly. It integrates with the website and supports API connections. Overall, the project is incredibly significant as part of the brand’s digital transformation.

Client feedback
We were relieved when we started the work with DICEUS, the competence level promised, was evident with a real commitment to quality. They gained a quick understanding of our business which meant they were highly productive very quickly. The price was also competitive, reducing the costs of working with our previous partner in India and probably halving the price we would pay for less qualified developers in the UK.
