Yana and all at Raccoon Gang rapidly accelerated our work on the Open edX platform. They are a fantastic team who worked smoothly and painlessly with us in providing next level platform scaling and user experience for our students. All of this was done within budget and on time. Highly recommended.
Steve Holden
Lead Developer, Labster
Raccoon Gang were a trusted business partner before I joined Labster, and we needed to bring some legacy Python 2 Django 1 projects up to date. Raccoon Gang immediately took the lead on the project, and responded whenever I had questions. Even though the project was scheduled over a holiday period they delivered as required. I’ll have no hesitation in asking for their help the next time the team is overloaded.?

The Raccoon Gang Support team has worked together with me to help resolve issues with our customer's learners. They have educated me and listened to me. We are working on resolving questions quicker and ensuring they are addressed completely with a plan moving forward in case the question is raised by another learner in the future.
Laurel Ozersky
Learning Solutions Designer, ACTNext
I want to thank Raccoon Gang, especially Managers Viktoriia and Yurii, and their teams. ACT is currently working on two big projects led by these teams and both teams are doing a wonderful job to keep our deliverables on track. I know many Raccoons are used to working from home already but even still, the current quarantine provides added challenges to everyone. I (and my ACT co-workers) deeply appreciate the hard work from both RG teams. Thank you!!

The RaccoonGang has been nothing but exception with regards to the planning of, developing and after-service when it came to our edX roll-out. More so, the learning curve on this has been huge for us and RG has simply made it possible with the sharing of knowledge and answering of questions. We would not be in the position we are now where we have a competitive solution in market had it not been for the RG and their teams of supportive staff. I would highly recommend RG to any company.
