SPR

SPR provided staffing and consulting services for 160 Driving Academy, led by the VP and CTO. The company was facing a crisis with a troubled team and commitments they couldn't deliver on. SPR stepped in, providing highly skilled contractors for technical development, advising on industry trends, and facilitating networking opportunities. The main point of contact, John, was commended for his sense of urgency and effectiveness. The resources provided by SPR proved to be excellent, with all of them being hired and one even progressing to become a director of a division. The engagement, which began in January 2014, is ongoing and has involved an investment of several million dollars.

The School of the Art Institute Chicago engaged SPR to build a machine learning model to improve their admit-to-enrolled yield rate. The model was required to be reusable and adaptable to other scenarios without external assistance. SPR was chosen based on their proximity, budget-friendly pricing, culture fit, value for cost, and alignment of company values. The team of 2-5 employees from SPR cleaned and enhanced the data, built multiple machine learning models, selected the best performing models based on accuracy metrics, and transitioned these models back to SAIC for their use.

FedEx Dataworks hired SPR to build top-tier consumer-facing e-commerce applications and solutions. The scope of work involved the development of consumer channels, including a web application and various systems and micro-services to support these channels. Key deliverables included a web application to facilitate easy purchasing across hundreds of brands, a backend application to support consumer channel capabilities and integrations, and various micro-services for order management, product catalog, marketing, and customer engagement systems. SPR was chosen for their high ratings, proximity, culture fit, and alignment of company values. The team of 6-10 employees from SPR was praised for their work on this project.
