The Challenge

Legacy SaaS platform struggling with scalability, dated UI, and high customer churn.

The monolithic architecture was a significant bottleneck, making updates slow and risky. A single bug could bring down the entire system.
User feedback consistently pointed to a confusing and outdated interface, leading to high churn rates and an increasing number of support tickets.
Infrastructure costs were spiraling out of control due to inefficient resource utilization on dedicated servers.
The inability to quickly deploy new features meant falling behind more agile competitors in a fast-paced market.

Project Goals & Objectives

Reduce customer churn by at least 30%.

Improve platform scalability to handle 5x user growth.

Modernize UI/UX to enhance user satisfaction.

Decrease infrastructure costs by 20%.

Our Strategic Solution

We engineered a complete platform overhaul, migrating to a scalable microservices architecture on AWS, redesigning the UI/UX, and implementing robust CI/CD pipelines.

Microservices Architecture

Re-architected the platform using microservices on AWS for enhanced scalability and resilience.

Intuitive UI/UX Redesign

Conducted user research to design a modern, intuitive interface, improving task completion rates by 40%.

Automated CI/CD & Testing

Implemented CI/CD with comprehensive automated testing, reducing bug reports by 75% and enabling weekly deployments.

Serverless Optimization

Migrated key services to serverless, reducing infrastructure costs by 30% and improving auto-scaling capabilities.

Our Approach & Methodology

Discovery & Audit (Weeks 1-2)

Comprehensive audit of existing platform, codebase, and infrastructure. Stakeholder interviews to define pain points and objectives.

Architecture & Design (Weeks 3-5)

Designed new microservices architecture, UI/UX wireframes and mockups, and defined technology stack. Security and scalability planning.

Development & QA (Weeks 6-16)

Agile development sprints for backend and frontend. Continuous integration and rigorous QA cycles. Regular client demos and feedback incorporation.

Deployment & Go-Live (Week 17)

Phased deployment strategy. Data migration. Post-launch monitoring and support. Performance benchmarking.
