Challenge

As one of the world’s leading delivery companies, DHL needs no introduction. But even as a household name, their in-house IT team develop, support and maintain a number of complex systems that the business relies upon. Microsoft .NET and Progress OpenEdge are key platforms for DHL, as a key system dedicated expert developers were needed to support and maintain DHL’s in-house applications. DHL needed additional dedicated senior resources with high levels of skills and knowledge to bolster their already talented IT team.

Solution

Propel offered a clear solution - dedicated and expert resource that could work seamlessly as part of their existing team while bolstering skills and expertise where DHL needed it most. Four senior, highly skilled, Progress OpenEdge developers and Microsoft .NET developers were chosen from Propel’s resource team to join DHL.

As senior developers, all well versed in solving problems across multiple business types in effective time frames they could hit the ground running playing a vital role across numerous projects. This additional expert resource ensured the existing DHL IT team could focus on solving problems in other areas of the business.
