In a constantly evolving technological environment, businesses face operational and technical challenges that demand swift and efficient responses. Implementing a strategic application solution has become essential to managing critical workflows, such as flow management and server group operations. We supported one of our clients in successfully addressing this challenge. One of our recent projects perfectly illustrates how Sofrecom assists its clients in this transition, meeting complex needs while ensuring measurable and sustainable results.
The Client's need: A robust and scalable solution
The client aimed to regain control over the implementation of a strategic application solution. This solution manages several critical workflows end-to-end, including flow management, open lists, server groups, and many other network-related processes.
Their expectations were diverse:
- Ensure a smooth transition of corrective and evolutionary maintenance to a new team while guaranteeing service continuity;
- Improve the quality of deliverables through security and code quality audit tools;
- Modernize the technical infrastructure with cloud solutions, including containerization and deployment automation technologies;
- Address new business needs by adding innovative features and automating existing processes.
- This project required advanced expertise in managing complex projects, cutting-edge technologies, and agile methodologies.
An agile and structured methodology
To meet these needs, Sofrecom implemented an agile methodology tailored to each phase of the project.
1. Controlled reversibility with KANBAN
The first step was to ensure a smooth transition of corrective and evolutionary maintenance. Using the KANBAN method, our experts adapted to unforeseen events and the fluctuating availability of the outgoing team. This approach ensured uninterrupted service continuity over a five-month period.
2. Corrective and evolutionary maintenance with SCRUM
Once the transition was secured, the experts managed corrective and evolutionary maintenance cycles using the SCRUM method. This approach allowed for:
- Quickly addressing anomalies while maintaining high-quality deliverables;
- Adding new features and enhancing existing ones to meet emerging business needs;
- Automating business processes to optimize operations.
3. Technical modernization and automation
The experts also undertook a major technical migration, including:
- Containerizing the application;
- Implementing a CI/CD pipeline to automate production deployments.
These initiatives significantly reduced delivery times and improved responsiveness to incidents.
4. Focus on Quality and Security
To ensure a high level of quality, the experts integrated security and code quality audit tools. This proactive approach reduced technical debt by addressing numerous critical vulnerabilities inherited from the project's history.
Benefits delivered to the client
Sofrecom's support enabled the client to overcome technological and operational challenges while achieving concrete and measurable results:
- Cost and delivery time optimization: Thanks to deployment automation, the time saved was reinvested in developing new initiatives and quickly implementing production fixes;
- Continuous solution improvement: Integration with new partners enabled real-time data retrieval, enhancing business process efficiency;
- Technical debt reduction: Addressing critical vulnerabilities strengthened the solution's security and stability while improving its maintainability;
- A scalable and sustainable solution: Adding new features and automating business processes allowed the client to meet current needs while anticipating future developments.
