Cloud Migration: How DevSecOps Practices Enhanced Performance of Leading ICT Innovation Company

The journey of digital transformation and the process of adapting to gain scalability in digital products and services are interconnected with secure development and operations practices. This is because as companies adopt new technologies, they need to ensure the integration of security into their processes to avoid exposure to risks and vulnerabilities. These DevSecOps practices also foster a culture of collaboration among teams and ensure agility and security in business evolution.  

One of the main challenges faced by IT managers in medium and large companies is the adaptation and migration of applications to cloud environments. The complexity of cybersecurity and the difficulty of retaining qualified professionals lead 76% of companies to seek strategic partnerships with third parties. This was the case for one of our clients, a company with over 46 years of experience in telecommunications and information technology.

Challenge

The IT department of this technology company faced the challenge of adapting and migrating applications to the cloud environment. They were seeking solutions and alternatives to overcome the challenges of this transition. Additionally, they wanted to incorporate knowledge in DevSecOps practices to guide their development and operations activities, as well as ensure the security aspects of these migrations.

Solution

Objective has been supporting the scalability process of this client since 2022. They provide DevSecOps experts to work alongside and provide consultancy to the internal team. During this period, application adaptations and migrations to the cloud were carried out, along with the sharing of technical knowledge and DevSecOps practices with the internal team.

The secure and scalable migration of applications to cloud environments was a challenge for the client’s IT teams. They had a large monolithic application that was not suitable for a cloud environment. 

In this context, Objective played a crucial role by acting in an integrated manner to assist in the migration of the application and provide architectural consulting with solutions for the challenges presented. The Objective team was able to identify the client’s needs and propose security and scalability solutions to adapt the application to the cloud environment.

In addition to offering technical solutions to the problems faced by clients, Objective is committed to sharing knowledge and guidance so that the internal team can develop and deal with challenges autonomously. In this sense, Objective’s experts created detailed documentation and held weekly meetings to share knowledge throughout the process. 

Customer Feedback

Transparency, expertise, and the quality of Objective’s deliverables were the main highlights for the client in this partnership. After the successful migration of the monolithic application and the recommendation from the internal team, the client decided to include Objective in new application migration projects and DevSecOps consulting.

The transparency and integrated relationship with the internal team allowed knowledge to be quickly acquired. Consequently, they understood the decisions suggested by Objective and developed a critical eye for security issues. This process empowered the Objective team and instilled confidence in their deliverables, technology choices, and architectures.

In addition to the recognition from the internal team, the CTO of the company made a point of acknowledging the work executed by Objective and expressed a desire to have the company involved in new projects and in implementing a DevSecOps culture throughout the organization.
