From Windows App to Web Platform: How Tessitura Modernized Their Software With a 26-Engineer Team

Tessitura provides software for arts and cultural organizations across predominantly English-speaking countries worldwide. Their platform runs entirely distributed, which means every engineer they add needs to integrate seamlessly, communicate clearly, and contribute at the same pace as the rest of the team.
BEON.tech placed a whole engineering team in record time. They integrated smoothly and performed at their best from the hour zero.

THE CHALLENGE

Tessitura needed engineers who could move independently.

Their engineering team is fully distributed, with every engineer working remotely across different locations. In that environment, there is no room for slow ramp-ups or constant direction. Scaling the team meant finding engineers who could match the culture, absorb domain knowledge quickly, and deliver at the same pace as the engineers already there.

THE SOLUTION

Precision Scaling at Scale: How BEON.tech Placed 26 Engineers with Tessitura in Four Weeks

The selection process was collaborative from the start. BEON worked closely with Tessitura's VP of Engineering to understand not just the technical requirements but the type of people who would thrive in their environment.

BEON sourced, screened, and presented candidates for Tessitura's team to evaluate and interview directly. Every engineer placed went through both BEON's technical screening and Tessitura's own vetting process. That dual layer of evaluation meant that by the time anyone joined the team, they were already a confirmed fit on both dimensions. The outcome? Twenty-six engineers were placed in four weeks across.

DELIVERY IN ACTION

Key Engineering Contributions

The developers embedded into Tessitura's distributed team and contributed across three major workstreams running in parallel. The output was measurable. More work got done in less time, across a team that was larger but no less cohesive.

INFRASTRUCTURE MODERNIZATION

Enterprise Platform Containerization

Containerize major portions of the platform, modernizing the infrastructure layer and improving the scalability and portability of Tessitura's software.

FRONTEND TRANSFORMATION

Legacy-to-Web Angular Migration

Migrate the application interface from a Windows app to a web-based UI in Angular, a complex frontend transformation that expanded accessibility for arts and cultural organizations worldwide.

E-COMMERCE EXPANSION

Revenue-Driving Commercial Capabilities

Build new features for the e-commerce application, extending Tessitura's commercial capabilities and supporting the revenue streams their clients depend on.

TEAM INTEGRATION

Seamless Cross-Functional Collaboration

Integrate as full team members, picking up any project in the broader development initiative rather than operating as a separate delivery group.

And here's what they say about working with us:

WHAT MADE THE DIFFERENCE

Why The Tessitura Partnership Worked

BEON engineers became full team members, assigned to any project, expected to perform at the same level as everyone else. That only worked because the engineers were the right fit from the start.
BEON's sourcing process is designed for exactly that. The collaborative candidate evaluation gave Tessitura's team confidence in every hire before they started. The result was a team that didn't feel augmented. It just felt bigger.

A Top-Tier Talent Experience Management™ Framework for Long-Term Success

Managing 26 engineers across a fully distributed team requires more than good hiring. It requires a system that keeps people engaged, supported, and growing over time. BEON.tech's Talent Experience Management™ Framework provides that structure:

Performance

Experience

Supporting engineers working remotely so they feel connected, valued, and set up for success regardless of location.

Growth

Creating development pathways that help each engineer deepen their expertise and take on more ownership as the platform evolves.
