Not every project starts smoothly – but sometimes, getting the right people on board can still turn it around. That’s exactly what happened when a high-profile commission system project began to unravel. Intalion jumped in mid-flight, fixed the mess, and helped steer things back on course.
One of the Big4 consultancies won a major software development project for a leading Hungarian insurance company – the goal was to build a custom broker commission settlement system. They brought in a local subcontractor to do the actual development.
That’s when things went sideways.
The subcontractor started missing milestones, delivering poor-quality code, and eventually stopped delivering anything at all. The company was dissolved soon after – likely to dodge legal consequences and penalties. The end-client was furious, and the Big4 partner faced serious reputational and financial risks.
This is where Intalion came in.
Although the two companies had only worked together occasionally in the past, the Big4 partner reached out with an urgent request: could Intalion take over the failing project and help salvage it?
Intalion jumped in – halfway through the project – and took over the partially built application. The team worked through the technical mess, stabilized the codebase, and slowly began rebuilding trust with the end-client.
The solution itself is a Java 21-based monolithic system with an Angular frontend and Oracle back end. It handles broker commission calculations, invoicing, and automated document generation, and integrates with existing enterprise systems through SOAP services – ensuring stability in a complex legacy environment.
It wasn’t an easy fix, but the results were clear. The end-client recognized the improvement, and the project was saved. Since then, Intalion has delivered additional milestones, and there are now discussions underway for further development and change requests.
Lesson learned: sometimes the right call makes all the difference.
