The Challenge

The client faced the following challenges that impacted efficiency, scalability, and overall business performance:

  • Fragmented application support: Disparate support structures across applications and suppliers led to inefficiencies and increased overheads.
  • Delivery immaturity: Non-standard delivery processes and the lack of Agile and DevOps practices hindered the client's ability to achieve seamless execution.
  • Manual QA processes: The client faced high QA costs due to limited automation and reliance on manual processes, resulting in inefficiencies and slower delivery.
  • Poor time to market: The client's extended lead times in developing and launching new products directly impacted their ability to meet market demands and deliver timely business outcomes.
  • Limited cloud adoption: A low cloud migration rate drove up infrastructure costs and restricted scalability for the client.
The Solution

We implemented a comprehensive transformation plan that enabled the client to successfully achieve their objectives:

  • Seamless application transition and modernization: We successfully transitioned more than 80 applications to Level 3 support, delivering a comprehensive solution that included the design and development of new applications while modernizing legacy systems critical to business operations.

  • End-to-end continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) implementation: We developed and implemented a robust CI/CD pipeline across production environments, integrating automated tollgates to ensure streamlined and secure deployments. By leveraging tools such as Chef, Packer, Terraform, TeamCity, GOCD, and PowerShell, we achieved full automation, enabling efficient, consistent, and reliable application delivery.

  • Cloud migration for scalability and availability: We successfully migrated 95% of the business applications to AWS, addressing scalability and availability challenges and enhancing the overall cloud infrastructure to support future growth.
