Elevating software development at Enexis through co-creation

In a collaborative project between Enexis and WAES, a key step was taken toward modernizing and professionalizing the way environments are deployed across IT teams. The initiative focused on the development of the Stack Lifecycle Manager (SLM 2.0), a tool designed to automate the rollout of environments and streamline operations across Enexis' IT landscape.

Problem?

Enexis needed to modernize the way IT environments were deployed and lacked mature software development practices within certain teams.

Approach?

WAES supported the development of Stack Lifecycle Manager (SLM 2.0), introduced coding standards, provided mentorship, and established a scalable and sustainable way of working.

Impact?

Enexis teams adopted structured development practices, leading to higher code quality, smoother collaboration, and a scalable way of working used across the organization.

This co-creation effort did more than deliver a robust application in a cloud AWS environment developed with python. It helped raise the overall software development maturity within the organization. WAES consultant Angélica brought in her technical expertise and leadership to uplift both the quality of the codebase and the development practices within the team, which also had impact in multiple projects within the organization.

Angélica played a key role in establishing engineering best practices. She contributed to setting up coding guidelines, designing application architecture, and introducing a sustainable and scalable way of working. These efforts laid the foundation for consistent and efficient software development practices across the board.

It’s not just about better code... it’s about building confidence and lasting change.

Long-term impact

As the team matured, Angélica played a crucial role in knowledge sharing and mentorship. Workshops on clean coding principles, peer reviews, and design best practices helped the Enexis team make the shift from scripting to structured software development, focusing in what the business required, and helping to speed future development projects by centralizing common functionalities.

The new way of working, refined through close collaboration, has since been adopted by other teams within Enexis. The coding standards introduced during the project are now used as a reference across the organization.

A culture of continuous improvement

Though challenges naturally arose, such as aligning around long-term architectural decisions, the journey was marked by growth, adaptability, and a shared commitment to quality. The partnership ensured a culture of continuous learning and development, empowering teams to take ownership of their work and embrace modern engineering practices.

This success story is a testament to what’s possible when technical excellence meets collaborative spirit. At WAES, we’re proud to support organizations like Enexis in their digital transformation journey, helping them not just deliver better software, but build stronger teams for the future.
