Jackpot Studio

• Jackpot Studio is an agency specialized in game development for well-known media brands
• Worked with Ciklum to produce The Weakest Link App, the famous BBC-title trivia game.

“We do a lot of overseas outsourcing, and have had many mixed experiences. Working with Ciklum was the next best thing to having an in-house development team in the office next door.

Our agency is relatively small, and the competition is fierce in our region. Our business depends on our service partners giving us the best possible value. Ciklum's technical expertise and project management allowed us to pursue products with less initial investment, to underbid our competition, and improve our margins. We successfully landed projects that we could not have without Ciklum's team working with us.

Aside from their technical expertise (which was impressive) Ciklum's team followed a rigorous approach to project management that kept the project moving forward, effortlessly on our side.  The initial project assessment was painstakingly detailed, the development schedule was complete and precise, and Ciklum made their deliveries faithfully. There was never a day when we were not completely up to speed on the project status, any pending risk, Ciklum's upcoming deliverables and our upcoming requirements.

All in all, we have come to rely on Ciklum's people as much as any member of our in-house team, and we anticipate a long and lucrative relationship.”
