Making a global company merger a success, with 3x revenues, 10x rollout speed and satisfied employees

A multinational enterprise faced significant hurdles post-merger, dealing with the integration of disparate software and IT infrastructures. The inherited technology was unscalable, difficult to maintain, and prone to data loss and sluggish performance.

This technological bottleneck not only required excessive manpower for manual deployments and client-specific customizations but also severely stifled growth potential and significantly impacted revenue negatively.

The solution

Port Blue Sky were brought in to streamline technologies, facilitate integration and optimise productivity. This involved an exhaustive overhaul of the existing tech infrastructure, implementing new development processes, increasing the IT security, restructuring the team and offering strategic direction and consultation throughout.

By placing several key personnel in lead roles across the architectural, backend, and frontend domains, we ensured a smooth transition to a more efficient, secure, and productive IT environment.

Outcome and results

  • Revenue and customer acquisition increased by over 3x, enabling a stronger market presence

  • Process automation freed up 20% of workforce to focus on critical feature development, fostering innovation and competitiveness

  • Rollout speed increased by 10x, reducing time-to-market for new features to weeks and bug fixes to hours, resulting in increased customer satisfaction

  • Significant improvement in employee satisfaction and productivity, ensuring the retention of invaluable talent and their built up knowledge

Scaling an internal MVP to being company default, earning millions in revenue & achieving cost savings

Our client, a leading global management consultancy, grappled with inefficiencies in processing and extracting insights from client data in a safe way. Each of their projects lost substantial amounts of time on overheads when handling diverse data sources, coding custom analyses, creating & sharing dashboards and collaborating with the client via web-based data and analytics tools, thereby hindering the pace and quality of their insights.

They had already developed a simple MVP, but it couldn’t scale past supporting a handful projects and the team was lacking crucial skills & experience to take the product to the next level.

The solution

Our architects and team leads provided the expertise to scale the simple MVP into a centralized internal platform, akin to an app store for data analysis. It completely automates the mundane overheads, unifies billing, and enables substantial cost savings.

PBS supplied 1-2 lead and senior developers per scrum team, integrating seamlessly into a collaborative project team that included internal stakeholders and other vendors.

The platform has now become the default choice for any data-related projects inside the organization, leading to faster and better insights identified in client data.

Outcome and results

  • Default choice for any data-related projects inside the organization, earning several million dollars annually

  • Over 1000 projects per year supported, over 4000 internal users, over 2500 external users

  • Over 600 products & tools connected, vastly increasing employee productivity and project delivery speed

  • Cost savings in the high 100.000s of dollars due to strong process automation and AI-powered downscaling / deprovisioning of services

Transforming A Big Data platform To handle 1000x more DATA AND INCREASE REVENUES BY 5x

A leading global Spend Optimization Software firm faced critical roadblocks in evolving their Big Data platform, a sophisticated system leveraging AI and ML to identify significant savings opportunities through complex data analysis.

After years of growth, their desktop application could no longer keep up with the increased data sizes and the code base was so fragile that the introduction of new features inevitably triggered regressions, effectively paralyzing further development.

The solution

PBS first orchestrated a comprehensive automation revamp for the client's build and deployment processes, liberating developers to focus on their core competency: coding. Gradually and carefully, all API endpoints were lifted to the cloud and reimplemented to make them faster, more secure, and thoroughly tested.

We supplied the majority of the senior and lead positions, across frontend, backend, architecture and devops. The monolith was successfully decomposed into manageable, dockerized microservices, and the database system was seamlessly migrated to PostgreSQL.

Outcome and results

  • Over 5x product revenue increase and generating their clients several hundreds of millions of EUR in savings

  • Enabling system to analyse data 1000x larger than before, going from 10,000 line items to the handling of tens of millions of lines of data

  • Daily deployments without any downtime instead of once a month with a half a day of downtime

  • Going from a development stand-still to the fastest feature & deployment velocity ever seen across the whole organization
