Case Study
Enterprise Litigation Platform
A litigation platform serving financial institutions and insurers needed more delivery capacity inside the existing engineering organization.
Industry
LegalTech / FinTech
Scope
Software Engineering + QA
Team structure
Lead developer, senior engineers, QA, and project management
What the team needed
Adding embedded engineering capacity to a litigation platform
Challenge
An enterprise software platform helped financial institutions and insurers deploy mass-litigation strategies across their footprint. The company needed to accelerate feature development, fix existing issues, and launch major new capabilities, but the internal engineering team did not have the capacity to move at the pace the business required. They needed embedded engineering, QA, and project management support that could integrate into the existing workflow and contribute immediately.
Silicon Development's role
Silicon Development augmented the engineering team with embedded development, QA, and project management support. The team worked directly alongside internal engineers on ongoing feature development, bug fixing, and new feature launches.
What Silicon Development worked on
A summary of the work the team owned during the engagement.
Designed and built a GUI and supporting libraries that replaced a manual application configuration process with a real-time admin workflow
Built the primary file upload processing system, including AI-powered automatic redaction of sensitive information
Increased engineering velocity by more than 50 percent
What changed
The platform was able to ship major new features and improve reliability while maintaining its existing development cadence. The added team capacity fit into the engineering workflow instead of creating a separate track to manage.
Key points
- Improved engineering velocity by 50 percent or more
- Built AI-assisted redaction into the upload pipeline
- Added a real-time admin workflow to replace manual configuration
The outcome matters, but the operating model is the real point
These results came from engineers working inside the team with real ownership and day-to-day accountability.
