Empowering Digital Transformation with a unified platform

At WAES, we empower projects that drive digital transformation for some of the world’s most complex and innovative companies. One such project involved creating a new software qualification platform for a leading global technology company.

Problem?

The company’s complex setup and products slowed software delivery, making testing and validation difficult and inefficient.

Approach?

The team used an agile approach with microservices and open-source tools like Grafana to deliver the platform efficiently.

Impact?

The platform improved visibility, reduced development time, and provided a scalable, future-proof system that increased efficiency.

The company’s intricate internal organization and the complexity of its products had resulted in cumbersome software delivery processes. This complex integration layer made seamless qualification and validation of their software challenging. With the company relying on fast, reliable software validation to maintain its competitive edge, the need for an efficient, integrated solution was clear.

The project's goal was to develop a platform that unified these fragmented processes into a streamlined pipeline, significantly improving productivity and collaboration across departments.

“This project was essential to the company’s ability to deliver high-quality software in an increasingly competitive industry. WAES leadership played a key role in bringing this platform to life.”

Building Scalable solutions with Microservices and Open-Source tools

“In this project, we had the unique opportunity to design the platform from the ground up,” anonymous said. “By using a microservices architecture, we ensured scalability and flexibility, allowing different services to communicate seamlessly.”

WAES made a difference in the project by adopting Grafana, an open-source data visualization tool. Grafana enabled the display of historical data and real-time metrics in an easily interpretable format, serving as a core tool for showcasing the value of software qualification processes to stakeholders.

With a methodology based on collaboration and agile principles, WAES led training sessions to upskill the team in working with Grafana, especially in Kubernetes environments. Anonymous: “The strategy was clear: by focusing on delivering core functionality and leveraging open-source tools, we could save time, reduce complexity, and achieve better results faster.”

What the project delivered

The new qualification platform significantly improved visibility into the company’s software validation processes. By using Grafana, the team quickly implemented dashboards, providing key metrics to internal stakeholders and enhancing decision-making capabilities. The ability to monitor pipelines and receive alerts when issues arise will greatly improve efficiency.

Key outcomes

Improved visibility and control: The platform gave teams real-time access to key metrics and data, enhancing their ability to monitor software qualification.
Increased efficiency: By focusing on core services and using open-source tools, the team delivered the project in a shorter timeframe, reducing manual work and boosting productivity.
Future-proofing: The high-decoupled architecture provided scalability, allowing the platform to grow and adapt to evolving needs with new features.
