The challenge

The starting point

Outdated IT system

The existing infrastructure didn't meet technological requirements, limited software development capabilities, and generated rising costs.

Security vulnerabilities

The lack of proper security measures posed a threat to data and the stability of the entire system

High infrastructure costs

Non-optimal use of server resources was generating unnecessary operational costs and straining the company's budget

Approach

What we did structurally

IT infrastructure audit

In-depth analysis of server structure with identification of redundant resources and potential security vulnerabilities.

System modernisation

Migration to a more performant, scalable architecture with code optimisation - while keeping the system running without downtime.

Modern architecture

Implementation of stable production and test environments improving the safety of deployed changes.

Process

How did the delivery process look?

Audit and system analysis

Collaboration began with taking over care of the client's system and conducting an in-depth IT infrastructure audit. Rapid identification of key areas requiring optimisation allowed significant reduction of operational costs and improved security.

Modernisation and optimisation

We migrated the system to a more performant, scalable architecture. The key step was building a test environment that hadn't existed before - raising service quality and system stability.

Support and development

The client gained a faster, lower-cost, and more stable IT environment - and entrusted us with ongoing system development and infrastructure maintenance.

Describe the project

Outcome

More efficient IT infrastructure

80% faster system loading

Shorter load times after cutting the number of server requests and optimising network transfer - fewer requests and less data sent after code optimisation

-40% maintenance cost reduction

Server resource optimisation lowered maintenance costs - while also introducing a test environment that had not existed before

0 → 1 test environment

No more deploying changes straight to production - the new test environment raised deployment stability and security

After modernisation, the client gained a performant, secure IT environment with lower operational costs and room for further development.

Project context

About the project

An automotive company needed urgent modernisation of its IT system, which was slowing down development and generating rising costs. The outdated infrastructure had security vulnerabilities, and all changes were deployed directly to production - without a test environment.

What we did

We began with an infrastructure audit - identifying redundant server resources, analysing security gaps, and mapping the architecture. Based on this, we designed a modernisation plan covering code optimisation, implementation of test and production environments, process automation, and migration to a CI/CD architecture. Technology stack: PHP, Node.js, Java, AWS.

The key challenge was maintaining system continuity throughout the modernisation - the company could not afford any downtime.

80% faster loading and 40% lower maintenance costs

The effects of modernisation were measurable from the first weeks: 80% faster system loading, a 40% reduction in maintenance costs - while also introducing a test environment that had not existed before - and over 80% network transfer optimisation thanks to code optimisation. The company gained a performant, secure IT environment with room for further development.

After modernisation, we took over ongoing system support and maintenance - monitoring, security updates, and new feature development.
