WebMD was in need of maintaining their existing projects along with expanding their technical team focusing on quality works. They were encountering problems on different factors such as privacy laws and cultural fit for their team. Their existing contract hires would neither ask questions nor contribute ideas on projects.

After learning about Optymize, the leadership team at WebMD decided to try creating embedded technical teams. They hired two Optymize engineers on front end and back end development who worked on maintenance and building new features.

Optymize engineers integrated with the WebMD team in a very well manner resolving HIPAA and contractual compliance issues. As of now, 23 Optymize engineers work with WebMD across 3 teams. WebMD continues to look to Optymize as a long-term talent partner as they scale.

“The first project that the Optymize team got to do didn’t have a lot of wiggle room in terms of the delivery date; it was a risky, complicated project; and to be honest I was a little bit concerned.”
