Case Study

Industry: International Medical Devices Manufacturing

From Stalled Projects to Production in Days

Need: accelerate internal development and move stalled projects to production.

The Challenge

Barnet Associates had supported a leading international medical device manufacturer on IT initiatives for more than three years when an internal employee-evaluation project stalled. Multiple development teams were involved, costs continued to rise, deadlines slipped by months, and communication between outsourced developers had broken down.

The Global IT Director needed a different approach, so the organization called Barnet Associates for ideation and solutions.

About FlAigship.ai with the WOPR Framework

FlAigship is a rapid AI development service focused on resolving IT-backlog projects, technical debt, and operational behavior-training change. It is Barnet Associates' AI leadership framework focused on EBITDA. WOPR is the accompanying AI-assisted project-management methodology.

Together, the framework and process design, develop, implement, train, deploy, host, and maintain solutions for operational EBITDA results. The approach helps organizations increase revenue, lower expenses, reduce IT backlog, and address technical debt through practical enterprise execution.

The Solution

Rather than spending months rebuilding requirements and managing another lengthy development cycle, Barnet Associates introduced what would become FlAigship. Working directly with the customer and end users, the team delivered a functional model of the application in just five days.

The customer immediately began testing the solution, providing feedback, requesting enhancements, and refining workflows. Following a short round of revisions, the solution was production-ready in four weeks.

Business Impact

Faster delivery, lower cost, more capacity.

With 24–48-hour turnaround for changes, the customer cut software expenses by 50% while helping IT managers handle more simultaneous projects. Hosting costs dropped, and the organization made meaningful progress against technical debt and business-impacting backlog.

The Results

  • Operating-expense reductions approaching 50% in targeted initiatives.
  • Critical business applications delivered in days instead of months.
  • Significantly reduced reliance on outsourced development resources.
  • Internal teams delivering more projects without increasing headcount.
  • Faster collaboration between business users and IT.
  • Greater confidence that projects will reach completion.

Customer Outcome

What began as a rescue effort for one troubled project evolved into many internal projects requested and delivered using the FlAigship development framework. Users could see, use, and improve applications almost immediately, dramatically reducing development time, project risk, and overall cost.

“Too many organizations believe slow, expensive software projects are simply the cost of doing business. They aren't. With the FlAigship framework, there is a better way. When business experts and AI work together, organizations can move from idea to working application in days—not months—and begin realizing value almost immediately.”Evan Barnet, CEO, Barnet Associates
