Modernization That Pays Back
50% OpEx reduction and 3× release cadence in months, not years.
About the Client
Our client, a multinational industrial manufacturer with sprawling plants and suppliers struggled with aging tech and process silos, slowing production and limiting actionable visibility.
The Challenges
- Legacy system bottlenecks: 15-year-old monoliths caused 40% slower processing and frequent peak-time downtime.
- Data silos: Disconnected manufacturing, inventory, and quality systems led to 25% data inconsistency and manual reconciliation.
- Limited scalability: Inability to absorb seasonal spikes constrained growth and degraded customer experience.
The Solutions
Cloud-native microservices architecture designed for speed, resilience, and insight.
- Modern microservices & APIs: Java Spring Boot and .NET 6 services with REST, validation layers, and JWT auth.
- React front end: React 18 + TypeScript + Redux Toolkit + Material UI for consistent UX and faster iteration.
- API gateway & service mesh: Centralized routing, policies, and observability for reliable east–west traffic.
- Containerization & orchestration: Docker + Kubernetes for elastic, resilient deployments across cloud/on-prem.
- CI/CD at scale: GitLab CI/CD with automated tests, security scans, and progressive delivery to staging/prod.
- Hybrid cloud infra: AWS/Azure with auto-scaling, load balancing, DR, and 99.9% target uptime.
- Data & analytics fabric: Kafka for real-time streams; PostgreSQL for transactions; Elasticsearch for advanced analytics and search.
Business Impact (First 3 Months Post-Go-Live)
- 75% faster processing speed across critical manufacturing workflows.
- 99.9% system uptime with auto-scaling and resilient failover.
- 50% reduction in operational costs via right-sizing, automation, and simplified releases.
- 3× deployment frequency enabling faster feature delivery and issue resolution.
