"
The Oil Company team just delivered Phase I of the application. The application will be available in nine countries and thirteen languages. The team took over the code base from a competitor, migrated the code from .NET 1.1 to .NET 2.0, added new functionality, and improved performance dramatically.
The Avanade team worked on a code base in parallel with our competitor. In the end, Avanade’s code base was selected over the competitor’s to go to production due to overall dominance in the performance capability. Our code base was able to handle 14x more users per server than the competition.
In addition, the Avanade team was awarded development for the next phase of the project which will add an additional 25,000 users to the existing 8,000 user base. The USDC team also delivered new technical design documentation for seven sub modules within a very tight timeframe and the USDC team has begun development on this next phase.
One of the project’s biggest challenges for the USDC team was consistent communication from the customer. The team was able to deliver successfully on Phase I without proper documentation, poor requirements, and lack of communication from the customer. The team also spent considerable amounts of time redoing poor documentation created by the customer. Even with all the hurdles, Avanade is on track to deliver the next phase of the project on time.

We the winners!!!
We just won another delivery award on my current project. This is the second one we've won. Here's the writeup, which describes what we've done. Sorry if it's unreadable, I can't reveal the customer in a public place.
