Serving more than 50 million members, the company promotes optimal care through use of evidence-based clinical guidelines and real-time decision support for both providers and their patients. The Solution Scalefocus was chosen as a reliable offshore partner, who can provide a team of experienced specialists to cover all of the above-mentioned areas. Together with one of our partners, we managed to build a sustainable Onshore-Offshore development team to carry on the entire transformation journey with quality, speed and cost-effectiveness. Using the onshore-offshore method allowed us to be engaged in the project 24/7, thus being available to the client at all times. The first major milestone in this project was successfully completed only four months after the official start of the partnership. The Scalefocus team delivered a fully functional software solution, namely a modernized platform on which our client can rapidly build and release products on the market twice as fast as they currently do, while simultaneously achieving cost savings of at least 40%. Two days after the delivery, we received a thank-you letter from our client.

Doubling Productivity with Offshore Software Development Center Telecom & Media Doubling Productivity with Offshore Software Development Center Home / Case Studies Anchor 1 Success Story Our client was going through rapid business growth, which led to many new functional requirements and the need to further expand their existing IT landscape and infrastructure. Scalefocus established an offshore software development center that helped them bring down software development and QA costs, provided extended business-coverage outside of their working hours, and enabled the client to deliver critical business infrastructure with a doubled increase in productivity. 200% increase in productivity 50% reduction in testing resources 6x faster end-to-end deployment The Client One of the biggest North-American telecommunications providers focused on connecting its customers to the world through a best-in-class, seamless connectivity experience. The company has one of the most advanced hybrid fiber-coaxial networks in the region to accommodate customers’ changing technological needs. By combining its wireless footprint with the strength of its fiber network, the company provides telephone, Internet, television, and mobile services. The Solution The company was looking for a way to support its strategic growth and focus on demand-driven agility while keeping development costs low. The client needed to scale quickly and was eager to get started on the project as soon as possible to provide high-quality services in the Telco domain. They sought a reliable technology partner that would be able to cover all the risks. Someone who would provide support when they need to scale up quickly and reduce the size of the team, if required, without worries about HR processes, underutilized office space, and IT assets. An offshore development center can provide a unique feature of talented teams with a variety of skills. This was another challenge that the company wanted to solve as Telco is a very complex domain with its own rules and specifics. They wanted to gain access to people who are equally adept at the latest technologies and know the mechanics behind the telecommunication industry. With Scalefous well-developed and battle-tested engagement and governance models, the client knew that both offshore and local teams could run like a well-oiled machine that provides consistent delivery and quality of the services. The Scalefocus offshore development team managed to integrate successfully with the client's Enterprise Service Integration Team from the very beginning. The offshore Delivery Manager provided technical governance and workflow coordination to the Scalefocus team and joined technical delivery in critical problem-solving and architectural design. One of the main tasks the Scalefocus team faced was developing and enhancing the middleware layer for the client’s telco operations. The software layer between the operating system and the applications controls all landlines that provide telephony and internet and TV services to the end customers. Our team developed all middleware services, implemented through Oracle Service Bus, following the strict procedures and requirements of the client. We established a robust process where software developers, DevOps, and QAs utilized Scalefocus's best practices and tools to deliver services at high velocity: evolving and improving the middleware layer faster than the previous traditional software development process followed by the client. Our QA team performed all the needed testing – functional, regression testing, and low-key performance testing for every enhancement of the middleware layer. Our joint automation efforts with the local team reduced testing resources in half and brought down the regression testing hours from 240 to just one click. As a result of our successful partnership, we extended the team with additional experts who are now working on the wireless services of the client. They needed more developers with a niche technical knowledge – working with Sonic ESB, another powerful integration option requiring skill and expertise to unlock all of its flexibility. The right mixture of IT knowledge and specific industry expertise that Scalefocus provided helped the client to quickly extend their capabilities with a well-rounded team in line with their business priorities. As the offshore development center was located in another time zone, the client benefited from extended coverage outside business hours. The offshore team tested and deployed new services without significant risks for the business continuity. As work was done around the clock, the offshore team involvement led to a substantial increase in deployment productivity. Due to the extended support window, new end-to-end releases were now deployed six times faster than before. Results With the help of technology, shared resources, and faster service delivery at a lower cost, provided by Scalefocus, our client managed to reap the full benefits of the offshore development center model. The opportunity to get instant access to a high-quality skillset with expertise in the niche and the latest technology, the ability to quickly scale up, and the accountability from offshore, helped the client to augment their expertise, mitigate risks and significantly increase productivity. 2 times more project work was done due to: More frequent deployments Automation of deployment and regression testing Support from the offshore team during after hours 6 times faster end-to-end deployment 40 times faster environment provisioning 50% reduction in testing resources From 240 regression testing hours to 1 click with automation Our Work We have a global client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups and industry leaders in Information Technology, E-Commerce, Insurance, Healthcare, Finance and Energy & Utilities.

This decreased time to market twice, reduced costs and allowed for greater control and visibility through a CI pipeline. The newly architected platform can easily be modified to fit in new business products without the need for further development work, providing opportunities for unlimited growth and scalability. Twice as fast time to market 40% cost reduction Effective services distribution The Client Our client is an innovation-driven clinical solutions provider offering next-generation healthcare coordination. Their integrated platform, consolidating all of the client’s nine customized clinical solutions, delivers significant cost-of-care savings across an expanding set of domains including rehab, radiology, cardiology, oncology, specialty drugs, sleep medicine, musculoskeletal care and genetic testing. By working with health plans and health providers, the client determines medical necessity and appropriateness of care to drive down costs and guarantee that patients receive high service level. The company serves over 50 million people and champions transformation within the HealthTech field on a global level for both patients and providers. The Solution One of the core strengths of our client is their ability to deliver real-time decision support for providers and their patients. The legacy network they were using to manage each of their clinical solutions as independent systems had to be replaced with a brand-new centralized domain-driven microservice platform to satisfy the constantly evolving business needs within HealthTech. The company needed a technology partner with solid HealthTech focus who would carry out the transformation of their entire back-end architecture. Such transformational projects are characterized with high complexity and can be broken down into smaller sub-projects that require tech capabilities in various areas. These areas included Architecture, Infrastructure, Transformation Implementation, Refactoring, Big Data and Analytics, Automated Quality Assurance accompanied by Program Consultancy and Project Support. We achieved the first milestone in the project only four months after the official start of our partnership and continued to deliver results quickly for the entire duration of the engagement. The Scalefocus team developed and deployed a fully-fleshed software solution—a modernized platform where the client can rapidly build and release products on the market twice as fast while achieving cost savings of at least 40%. Our team was an integral part of the client’s transformation journey and helped revolutionize their IT landscape with the introduction of over twenty-three new technologies. Results Our client enlisted Scalefocus as their offshore partner based on our ability to provide a team of seasoned IT and HealthTech experts to cover all of the tech areas in the project’s scope. Together with one of our long-term partner companies we managed to build a sustainable onshore-offshore development team to carry out the entire transformation journey with quality and seed. The onshore-offshore model allowed us to be available to the client at all times and remain engaged with the project 24/7. It also made it possible for them to focus more actively on business development and to take advantage of lower risk and cost-effectiveness. The completion of the project had a tangible impact on the core aspects of our client’s business as well as on its future development and large-scale growth plans. Deliverables: Replaced all client’s legacy system solutions with a single unified platform Achieved tangible cost savings by 40% Reached twice as fast time to market of new products Enabled services distribution and a seamless delivery to end-customers Set up a CI pipeline for automatic quality checks Delivered new features to production in 2-week sprints Built a QA automation framework with 15,000 business domain-driven tests Built a configuration layer for fast application adaptation to fit in new products Created training materials for the client, such as videos to help with the application’s code Technologies used: Java 8, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker EE, RabbitMQ, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Microsoft SQL Server, Logstash, Kibana, Amazon Web Our Work We have a global client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups and industry leaders in Information Technology, E-Commerce, Insurance, Healthcare, Finance and Energy & Utilities.

Outdated capabilities and high maintenance costs The accumulation of technical debt is a threat that can’t be ignored. Trying to move forward on an aging core results in system slowdowns, crashes, slow time to market and wasted money. Lack of integration across numerous IT The different applications your organization relies on to run operations and stay organized need to talk to each other and if these stand-alone systems can’t do that, you’re wasting valuable resources. Poor data quality and ineffective decision making Poor data quality slows down processes and results in long manual hours fixing problems. It causes lack of productivity, efficiency and accuracy affecting negatively both business results and your reputation. Severe competition from FinTech players Technology-native competitors develop new products faster and more efficiently because they aren’t held back by legacy technology. Established organizations fall behind easily if they fail to innovate. Heavy compliance and security requirements Cyberattacks are the fastest way to lose customers’ trust yet being compliant does not mean you are secure. By going beyond the security minimum, you will protect customer data and ensure compliance.

An Automated Test Framework Improves Process Effectiveness Healthcare & Life Science An Automated Test Framework Improves Process Effectiveness Home / Case Studies Anchor 1 Success Story Our client, a medical solutions company, maximized service quality with an in-sprint automation of 6500 functional tests, achieving higher speed through parallel execution. The Scalefocus team ensured maximum business coverage and encouraged greater collaboration by introducing a shared library for easy project-wide access to pipelines. We reduced time for carrying out tests, made smoother test running possible and put tests in a continuous integration environment. All of this led to improved speed and productivity through a unified test framework that eliminated silo mentality across the organization. High efficiency with parallel testing Total risk mitigation through a CT process Boosted quality from readable log reports The Client Our client is a large North American healthcare company specializing in the delivery of safe and affordable clinical solutions to health providers, government institutions, employers and labor organizations. The company serves millions of members across 50 US states. Their strength lies in providing evidence-based patient care management for chronic diseases, such as cancer and musculoskeletal disorders, as well as cost-effective genetic testing at advanced, high-priced laboratories. Their multifaceted service offering includes member engagement, peer-to-peer consultation, program performance and practice trends reporting. The Solution In the post-pandemic world, more than ever before, medical solutions companies are evolving at a fast rate and are relying on advanced technologies, smart analytics and high productivity to stand out on the market. Our client excelled at providing high-quality healthcare management solutions, but they needed to modernize their main platform to allow for faster feature release rates via smart automation. The company management identified a recurring issue: repetitive and slow manual verification of UI functionalities. They also felt the need to provide a higher level of protection for the organization and increase their business risk coverage. To that end, the client needed a trusted HealthTech partner who would be able to rearchitect their platform to allow for the automation of business-critical tasks. This process included several sub-projects, such as Automated Quality Assurance, Refactoring, Big Data and Analytics. Our expertise in the HealthTech domain and our track record of providing quality software engineering at speed were the reasons why Scalefocus was tasked with this complex project. Scalefocus succeeded in filling the automated tests gap, streamlined processes and contributed for the saving of resources. Our main efforts went towards creating a solid automation framework designed for easy and fast test creation. We built a total of over 6500 functional tests for all network domains, following a unified structure and taking into account best practices. Part of the functional tests were made to perform as smoke tests that could be used to quickly verify the main business logic. Our team updated old tests and implemented new ones. We extended verifications to ensure that the products meet all the official specifications and requirements. Results By implementing in-sprint automation for the backend services, the Scalefocus engineers ensured that all tests are constantly running smoothly alongside development and are in a continuous integration environment. In addition to improving debug configuration to easily identify any errors in the client’s software platform, clear test log reports were put in place. After introducing parallel execution, the time for carrying out tests was significantly reduced. In addition, the common functionality of the platform was moved to a shared testing library. This allowed for the main business flow to be easily reused among team members and departments, encouraging greater collaboration. The code for setup, execution and logging of the tests was written once and any required changes made would simply be an updated version of the library, saving both time and costs. The team efforts of our goal-driven project managers and dedicated quality engineers allowed to address the needs of the client effectively and provide a secure testing framework for their platform. The clinical solutions company now benefits from: Strong unified framework of functional up to date tests compliant with the best industry practices Improved architecture of the test projects: fast, simple creation and modification of automated tests that saves time Greater awareness of quality through comprehensive log reports that are easy to understand Maximum business risk coverage by applying a shift-left testing approach and creating a continuous testing environment Elimination of silo mentality: sharing a pipeline across several projects and teams with a shared library Our Work We have a global client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups and industry leaders in Information Technology, E-Commerce, Insurance, Healthcare, Finance and Energy & Utilities.

Agria Embraces Innovation with SAP S/4HANA Single Tenant Edition Technology Strategy Agria Embraces Innovation with SAP S/4HANA Single Tenant Edition Home / Case Studies Anchor 1 Success Story As an international company specialized in plant protection products Agria needed a partner who would lead their digital transformation journey, migrate their business infrastructure to SAP S/4HANA STE and help them take advantage of all benefits this future-proof ERP solution brings. Scalefocus’ SAP consultants crafted Agria’s digitalization strategy that optimized their business processes, increased visibility and traceability and reduced overhead. Improved production and resource planning capabilities Higher agility and reduced time to market Lowered maintenance costs and prevented downtime The Client Established in 1932 in Bulgaria to meet local demand for high-quality plant protection solutions, today Agria is the largest agrochemical producer on the Balkan peninsula. The company has two main production and packaging facilities and exports their internationally certified products to over 70 countries in Europe, Asia, South America, Africa and the Middle East. Agria’s multi-faceted business development approach includes continuous modernization, regular portfolio expansion and an ongoing commitment to environmental protection. The Solution As part of their global plan for digitalization and process optimization, Agria needed a technology partner who would help craft the company’s digital roadmap for years ahead. The first step involved migrating their heavily customized SAP ECC 6.0 solution to SAP S/4HANA to allow seamless management convergence of all company subsidiaries in Bulgaria, Russia, Ecuador and Indonesia. The main objectives of the project were standardizing processes across Agria’s global business entities, increasing visibility over KPIs as well as the entire business and reducing overhead. Agria executed an extensive RFP procedure to find the best vendor for their digitalization journey and Scalefocus was among the shortlisted companies. They tasked us with executing their ERP migration strategy due to our extensive experience in delivering complex enterprise projects for business transformation and solid track-record of successful SAP S/4HANA implementations within the manufacturing industry. We guided Agria in unpicking the SAP ECC 6.0 customization that was not driving satisfactory results and provided the complete picture of the value they would get moving forward with SAP S/4HANA. In this way we were going to fulfill step one of the global plan to move all of Agria’s subsidiaries to SAP and resolve the long-standing issue of production and resource planning optimization. SAP S/4HANA is a future-ready enterprise resource planning (ERP) system with built-in intelligent technologies, including AI, machine learning and advanced analytics. It transforms business processes with smart automation and runs on SAP HANA—a market-leading in-memory database that offers real-time processing speed and a dramatically simplified data model. After careful evaluation with the active participation of Scalefocus’ consultants, Agria decided to go with S/4HANA Single Tennant Edition, which provides next generation ERP capabilities packaged as Platform as a Service (PaaS) for maximum flexibility and scalability. The decision allowed the company to take advantage of all benefits this comprehensive cloud-focused approach offers, specifically a flexible licensing model and compliance with regulations in the countries of all subsidiaries. Having carried out the first Greenfield SAP S/4HANA migration in Bulgaria the year before, Scalefocus had the confidence and full expertise to rise to the occasion and turn Agria into a trailblazer on yet another front. The modules in the implementation scope were Sales and Distribution (SD), Materials Management (MM), Production Planning (PP), Finance (FI), Controlling (CO), Plant Maintenance (PM) and Quality Management (QM) and we configured them in a single integrated system. The Scalefocus SAP team utilized PP/DS (Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling) with characteristic dependent planning, which we had to modify in a way that would enable extremely precise resource planning and configuration. It was a necessary step to ensure compliance with varying sets of international regulations and quality standards. We conducted walkthrough tests, key user trainings and provided dedicated hyper care to secure seamless integration. Results Agria’s SAP S/4HANA migration strategy involved complex decision making on the Scalefocus SAP team’s part due to the global scale of the project and the sophisticated nature of production processes. Alignment with the company’s subsidiaries required a flexible system that combines innovation, scalability and full transparency on all levels with UI that would facilitate and accelerate user adoption. Every digital transformation runs into challenges, but with the right roadmap they can be minimized and solved quickly. Going forward with a cloud-first approach enabled Agria to have a higher degree of agility, reduced the time to market and in the end ensured the project’s success. Implementation and Go-live of the future-proof S/4HANA STE Improved production and resource planning capabilities Eliminated business-critical system inefficiencies perpetuated by ECC 6.0 Laid the foundation of the international SAP convergence plan Lowered maintenance costs and prevented downtime Enabled traceability of results down to single transaction level Ensured transparent real-time information flow and informed decision making “The business value for Agria that Scalefocus helped unlock with the implementation of S/4HANA STE is just the beginning of our digital transformation and the collaboration between our companies. Our long-term strategy to transform both internally and externally to adapt to constantly evolving market requirements was set in motion by the best technology partner we could have hoped for. We will take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the cloud and keep pursuing innovation at every step of our digital transformation journey. Thanks to Scalefocus and the implementation of S/4HANA STE, we feel completely supported on that journey and together we will continue pushing the boundaries of what this new solution can bring in terms of business value. “ Alexander Krustev CIO, Agria Our Work We have a global client base that includes Fortune 500 companies, innovative startups and industry leaders in Information Technology, E-Commerce, Insurance, Healthcare, Finance and Energy & Utilities.
