Business Challenge
Due to the increased business demands, changes in the business models, and time to market of critical needs, in 2012 the client was in the process of transitioning to a brand-new platform. To have the fastest possible time to market the client found it significantly challenging to simultaneously support the daily operations of their current business while driving new innovation. They looked for a partner to help them meet these challenges and opportunities across their project and testing life cycles, development life cycles, and infrastructure maintenance areas.
SoftServe Approach
SoftServe offered the client an integrated solution to transform and enhance their new platform in its maintenance lifetime. Being an integral part of the client’s R&D organization and having in place 70% of the team required for the project, SoftServe was able to shorten the transition period from the expected six mont hs down to three. SoftServe had the experience to provide the full range of services required to run the successful platform maintenance as well as the proposed solution, which would minimize transition costs, downtime or risk associated with the provision of the maintenance services.
SoftServe also extended service to substitute the client’s engineering team, overtaking maintenance of the existing platform while internal client teams led the new platform.
