How Axispoint scales to meet your enterprise development needs
Program Level Oversight
In circumstances where multiple teams and work streams exist within an overall development plan, Axispoint staff key senior roles that have oversight and contact across the teams.
This usually consists of Program Management, Program Architect, and Program Analyst roles. Our client will appoint a peer for each. These roles are not necessarily full time roles and often shared by individuals with other responsibilities within a specific development role/team. Local US-based resources typically staff these Program Level roles.
A Core Team That Can Be Supplemented With Specialists
Another major feature of Axispoint’s approach is the recognition that, while there is a core agile team that is engaged with the project on a daily basis, the team must also have ready access to expertise to supplement its core competencies.
For example, the team will include a competency in database development. However, there will be times when deep experience in database configuration and optimization is required.
In these cases, a specialist with the requisite background and skills can be called in to temporarily augment the team. Axispoint maintains an extensive pool of talented and experienced individuals who can mobilize quickly to supplement the team as needed.
Examples of Client Success
Agile Ceremonies, Agile Tools
Agile Ceremonies, Agile Tools
Axispoint’s development methodology is firmly based in scrum techniques. Nevertheless, Axispoint takes a practical approach and has adapted it’s approach to align with best practices for a consulting company delivering quality software to our clients.
The overarching goal of our process is to maintain transparency, demonstrate progress, deliver functionality incrementally, adapt quickly to changing conditions and manage quality, to ultimately deliver the envisioned product.
Agile Ceremonies Are Strictly Adhered To
Rigorous application of agile helps maintain focus and discipline in geographically dispersed agile teams. Our experience has proven that full participation and communication with all team members in English across the various locations is a key attribute to our success.
- Daily Stand-Up: 15 minute daily scrum attended by the project team and client Product Owner, to better team communication and identify issues
- Sprint Planning: A 1-2 hour session at the beginning of a sprint where the project team and client Product Owner plan the goals of the upcoming sprint
- Sprint Demo: A 1 hour demonstration of working software by the project team to client stakeholders at the end of the sprint to elicit stakeholder feedback
- Sprint Retrospective: A 15 minute sprint review of benefits and failings to enable process improvement
- Backlog Grooming: A weekly 1 hour backlog maintenance session for key team members (business analyst, UX designer, scrum master, tech lead, and client Product Owner) to review and manage the backlog
Collaborative and Agile Tools are Leveraged
The team is provided with the necessary tools and technologies to implement consistently effective agile deliveries.
Distributed agile teams must take advantage of the full spectrum of tools, from web-based agile tracking tools like JIRA and VersionOne, to collaboration platforms like Confluence, to powerful and accessible voice and video conferencing systems in order to maintain the cohesion and focus that are the necessary conditions of high-quality output.
Hybrid Onshore – Offshore Teams
Hybrid Onshore – Offshore Teams
Axispoint senior, local staff fill key team roles,
offshore resources staff the majority of the team over time.
Many organizations have tried using offshore teams to do their development work – the cost benefits are compelling. However, these efforts have frequently been beset with problems of low quality, lack of consistency and late delivery. Axispoint has solved this problem by developing an approach that allows us to build cohesive and integrated teams that combine onshore and offshore resources.
Axispoint NYC-Based Staff Fills Key Team Roles
Local Axispoint staff plays key leadership roles in the hybrid teams. Specifically the scrum master, development lead, architect and business analyst are typically based in Axispoint’s NYC office.
Having local staff in these roles helps maintain clear and open channels of communication with clients and clear accountability within the team. Our local resources meet in-person on a regular basis to ensure there is no degradation of vision, message or direction.
Offshore Resources Form the Majority of the Team Over Time
Taking advantage of lower offshore rates means that the costs of the hybrid team are a fraction of the cost of a solely locally-based resources.
In addition, Axispoint benefits from a much wider talent pool to find the best fit for a specific project requirement. The Axispoint local staff continue to fill key team roles, and offshore resources staff the majority of the team over time. The ratio of resources changes as the team scales and the project matures, while the resources mix varies from project to project based on several factors.

Q&A With Axispoint's Dan DiSano On A Key Acquisition And Building Client Relationships
Q&A With Axispoint's Dan DiSano On A Key Acquisition And Building Client Relationships
Submitted by Rick Saia
The Channel Company/CRN.com/ITBestOfBreed.com
The Payoff Of A 'Highly Complementary' Merger
Axispoint is on a roll. Earlier this year, the rising New York-based solution provider, which specializes in software development and consulting, acquired the venerable Tekserve Apple reseller brand, as well as its B2B subsidiary, T2 Computing, both of which delivered hardware and engineering expertise in the deal.
The acquisition, which took place in January, helped catapult Axispoint up and onto CRN's Solution Provider 500 list for 2017, where it's ranked at No. 301. (Both Axispoint and T2 are being maintained as separate brands.) More specifically, the T2 deal is designed to address the need in Axispoint's top customer vertical – media and entertainment – for a strong, end-to-end partner in content creation, management and monetization.
Axispoint's CEO, Dan DiSano (pictured), talked with ITBestOfBreed recently about his company and the impact of the acquisition. Click through to read what he had to say. (The interview was edited for brevity and clarity.)
How did the acquisition of T2 and Tekserve complement your offerings?
It's highly complementary. T2 and Tekserve are an infrastructure engineering firm and they build systems for major media, entertainment and sports companies, as well as others; anyone that's really dealing with content. So, from a vertical [industry] point of view, it was a strategic fit.
We had also been working with them for two years. We had done a project together for a major media company. The teams knew each other; that's always helpful. And then there's an intersection in an area called MAM: media asset management. We do customizations around media asset management. We do workflow development, where they kind of architect a media asset solution. They configure, they implement, they support thereafter. So, together now, we are kind of full service in that area.
So, in short, what that does is it's given you more of the technical chops to go along with your business development and business relationship-building skills.
What I would say is that the acquisition has given me scale, vertical dominance in entertainment, media and sports. It's given me depth and breadth of talent. It's also given us strength in the Tri-State [area of Connecticut, New York and New Jersey]; we're both headquartered in New York.
What business demands are driving the biggest opportunities for Axispoint today?
Clearly, content is king, and it's been not just media companies. You can be a financial services firm, an insurance firm, a pharmaceutical firm, and have real content needs. A lot of those firms actually have their own media and production departments because either they're building content for their consumers or for their internal teams. [That has] driven for us needs around developing and monetizing content, managing and maintaining and distributing content. So, for us, the boom for us is to have the content world explode. That’s directly relevant or related to consumers and how they're actually consuming media. And mobile has been a big driver. [It's] been an incredible driver for how consumers want and use content and media, which has driven both Axispoint and T2.
Prior to five years ago, IT in general [did] a lot of automation, cost reduction, gaining efficiency. There's always going to be a part of IT that’s [focused on] that. However, in the last five years, our clients have embraced – because their consumers have changed – disruption, innovation. Think of the work we're getting now … people, even Fortune 500 companies, are saying, "How do we disrupt our industry before someone else does?" So it's from the startup all the way up to large enterprise entities, [they're] figuring out they need to innovate before someone else does … and you’ve seen it in a number of markets.
The kind of business that we're getting is really kind of solving complex problems, which a company like mine loves. If you can solve your clients' most complex issues, you're going to be in it for the very long term.
When it comes to building relationships, what are the biggest things a company can do to enhance them?
First and foremost: Be truthful. Tell it like it is, when things are going well and when things are problematic. There is no such thing as a project that never has any bump in the road. There's always going to be something that comes up. And you have to be open and honest with your customers. If you do that, they will appreciate that. There are times when we'll turn business away. We'll work well with a company, and then they say, "Can you do this?" and it's something maybe out of our strike zone … So, if you're open and honest with your clients about what you really do well and what you don’t, and you have open communication, you'll feel a real difference in how the relationship goes.
A lot of our clients come from referral … People buy from people, so for us, it really is a people business, and we're open and honest with our customers.
And then at the end of the day, you have to deliver.
What are the best ways to stay ahead of the curve on technology?
There is no silver bullet on that. Technology, as you and I both know, is ever changing. Today, something will be different from yesterday. The way we do it is a … multi-pronged approach. For instance, we do have continual training and learning. That's important. For instance, T2 Computing has certifications with certain hardware and software manufacturers. We have certain certifications in software development. We go to conferences. [At a recent conference,] I met with about 25 startups, just personally. Meeting with their CEOs and learning what they're doing and where they see the market going. So, it's not just changing technology, it's how to use technology in a different way. We try to stay on top of both.
What are the most important qualities in someone you want to hire?
First of all, you want them to be talented at the position. If we're looking for a business analyst, that business analyst has to have strong analytical skills to be able to work with C-suite executives and translate business requirements to technical requirements.
But putting aside the actual skills, we look for good communicators: high integrity, open and honest. We look for people that want to work in a team environment, and everyone here has to love problem solving, because if you don’t, Axispoint and T2 Computing is not the right place.
Then, we really like people who work well in a team. And the most important thing when you hire is culture. I can't stress that enough. No matter what company you go to, make sure you fit with that culture and they feel their culture is a fit with you because that’s going to be one of the key factors in you being there a long time and succeeding.

AXISPOINT ACQUIRES T2 COMPUTING TO PROVIDE END-TO-END SOLUTIONS FOR THE MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
AXISPOINT ACQUIRES T2 COMPUTING TO PROVIDE END-TO-END SOLUTIONS FOR THE MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AXISPOINT ACQUIRES T2 COMPUTING TO PROVIDE END-TO-END
SOLUTIONS FOR THE MEDIA AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
Combined Expertise Creates a Company with Skill and Scale
NEW YORK, JANUARY 31, 2017 — Axispoint, a leading software-development and consulting firm announces the acquisition of T2 Computing, Inc., a well-established computing, storage, networking and support provider. The combined company has strong expertise in media, entertainment and sports and offers solutions in other core verticals including finance and insurance, healthcare and technology. In addition, the acquisition is designed to address the media and entertainment industry’s pivotal need for a strong, end-to-end partner in the content creation, management and monetization processes. The combined deep expertise of Axispoint and T2 Computing immediately positions the company to provide comprehensive solutions designed to meet the largest and smallest IT and content challenges.
With a 20-plus year history of creating software solutions ranging from websites and mobile applications to full enterprise-level business systems for global media and business customers, Axispoint’s acquisition of T2 Computing allows the combined companies to offer a single vendor solution for complete project and process management. This eliminates the need for multiple vendors and the challenges associated with coordination and management.
“In large part, the industry has been forced to piece together total solutions from multiple providers,” says Jerry Gepner, CEO of T2 Computing, Inc. “For the media and entertainment industry, we think our value proposition is really powerful – eliminating the pain point of a piecemeal approach and substituting it with a solution that supports project inception to completion.”
With combined revenues in the $75 million - $100 million range, the new company can offer customers efficiency of scale in application development and engineering services, software design, creation, rollout and full lifecycle management along with hardware products and support services.
“As media firms in broadcast, film and music need help managing digital assets, customizing software and building workflows, they're increasingly turning to IT companies with the expertise in both infrastructure and applications,” says Dan DiSano, CEO and President of Axispoint. “With the combined offerings of Axispoint and T2 Computing, we now have the ability to increase our service line in this client space and create the customized, seamless solutions that these companies need.”

Tekserve Lives Again: Axispoint Buys Legendary Apple Reseller Brand, B2B Subsidiary
Tekserve Lives Again: Axispoint Buys Legendary Apple Reseller Brand, B2B Subsidiary [1]
Published on CRN (http://www.crn.com)
by Michael Novinson [2] on January 11, 2017, 12:30 pm EST
Rising solution provider star Axispoint has purchased the venerable Tekserve Apple reseller brand along with the robust T2 Computing business solutions arm to supercharge Axispoint's hardware and engineering expertise.
Axispoint President and CEO Dan DiSano told CRN exclusively that, as part of the deal, the New York-based solution provider has acquired the right to resurrect the famous Tekserve name, which first gained notoriety in the late 1980s as New York's premier place for Apple service and support.
But the company, No. 193 on the CRN Solution Provider 500, closed its retail location in August due to rising rents, less need to repair Apple devices, and the ubiquity of Apple's own stores. Now, Tekserve's 75-person T2 operation, which was spun off as its own unit in 2014, will begin its next chapter as part of Axispoint, delivering a more well-rounded IT experience to SMB media and entertainment firms.
[RELATED: Longtime Apple Reseller Tekserve Set To Close Store, Will Continue Offering Professional Services [3]]
"In New York, Tekserve is a very big business," DiSano told CRN. "People know it, respect it. I think eventually, it [the name] could resurface in some way."
Both Axispoint and T2 will be maintained as separate brands for at least the next six months, DiSano said, with the T2 team working out of its own Manhattan office space. At that point, Axispoint will decide whether it wishes to keep two separate brands, rebrand everything under the Axispoint or T2 moniker, or move forward with an entirely new name.
The first acquisition in Axispoint's 15-year history will create a company with annual sales of between $75 million and $100 million and more than 100 employees, including 30 in sales. DiSano said Axispoint and T2 have gotten to know each other over the past two years after partnering on a number of media asset management and rights management projects.
"This will be deeper and more whole than just a partnership," DiSano said. "When you have the resources in house, you can better create new technologies and platforms that you might not have been able to do in a simple partnership."
The deal will drive cross-selling by bringing together Axispoint's software and application development expertise with T2's engineering and hardware operations, DiSano said, particularly around media asset management. Increased scale will also make it easier for Axispoint to get a seat at the table with larger clients, DiSano said.
Specifically, DiSano said T2 clients will be interested in Axispoint's custom enterprise software, web and mobile management and data work, while current Axispoint customers will appreciate T2's ability to design hardware equipment with a software solution in mind. T2 has strong ties with Apple due to the Tekserve legacy, DiSano said, but the company also works with vendors such as Dell EMC and NetApp.
"We have the ability to increase our service line in a client space that allows us to create solutions and products," DiSano said. "There are some unmet needs that we saw."
DiSano said media genres from broadcast to film to music are trying to transform from entertainment companies into data and content companies. As these firms need help with managing video assets, customizing software and building workflows, DiSano said they're increasingly turning to IT companies with expertise in both equipment and applications.
"We touch infrastructure, though we're mainly coming at it from a consulting and software side," DiSano said. "But our clients' clients have changed."
Large enterprises make up the majority of T2's clientele, DiSano said, meaning that the company typically works with larger customers than Axispoint. That's primarily the result of T2's robust production media business, which DiSano said works with major studios around video and storage.
At the same time, both Axispoint and T2 have experience working with very small startups and getting minimal viable products to market within four to six months, DiSano said.
The combined company will be better positioned to partner with manufacturers looking to get into the media space, DiSano said, since it can now design a strategy, provide both services and equipment and jointly go to market. DiSano said the company plans to sit down with strategic players in the near future and map our ways to bring more of its capabilities to bear in the market.
"We're excited about the transaction," DiSano said. "We're excited to become one company, and to go to market in a vertical that's growing and changing."
