OfColor is a minority-owned financial wellness company based in New York on a mission to improve the financial lives of employees of color. To do so, OfColor platform mixes financial technology with research to provide education and assistance for the mid-level range workforce.
OfColor needed to accomplish switching vendors as their current vendors had been acquired. As well as partner with the right tech company to finish the financial wellness platform they wanted. Target dates and deadlines loomed, and any technical team that was going to take over needed to be able to work quickly, and accurately.
After initial introductions at the MX Summit, the engineering head reached out to Hello Iconic and evaluated Hello Iconic’s ability to be a hands-on coordinator and assist in the process of switching vendors while unilaterally creating a smooth, stress-free process. When Hello Iconic stepped into the breach, the team not only did it quickly but did it in time for OfColor’s January 2022 board meeting.
The team began the hand-off by working with OfColor to gain access to their platform code to properly familiarize their team with everything they were doing and to instill a smooth process of transition. A couple of weeks later, Hello Iconic immediately began running their code to produce new features, help them get to production, and consistently work with the previous vendors to enable the hand-off to go smoothly over the 6-week period.
The investors were stunned at how smooth the change was, and there was nothing in the way the technology operated to suggest that Hello Iconic had swooped in at the last minute. The resulting platform hummed along smoothly and correctly and had none of the bugs that often accompany any new technology product rollout.
