How a Scandinavian Tech Company Boosts Growth with NDC in Bulgaria Telecom & Media How a Scandinavian Tech Company Boosts Growth with NDC in Bulgaria Home / Case Studies Anchor 1 Success Story A key challenge for any tech company that wants to move up the value chain is to develop new capabilities and products while maintaining the existing ones. Our client – a leading Scandinavian provider of mobile and SMS communication services, had the same dilemma, facing opportunities for growth but lacking the resources to scale up fast and introduce new services architecture. They needed a strategic technology partner that could help them evolve ideas and accelerate the pace of innovation. Our nearshore software development teams enabled the company to extend their viable products' capabilities, to start working against the Proof of Concept of their next-generation Communications platform as a service (CPaaS), and established a new standardized and holistic approach to software development. Improved operational efficiency Access to a vast talent pool of experts Faster time to market for new features The Client A Scandinavian global company providing Communications platform as a service (CPaaS), mobile solutions, and intelligent data usage. They offer a wide range of communication channels for businesses and help them to streamline conversations through their end-customers preferred channels — SMS, RCS, Voice, WhatsApp, Viber, Messenger, Email, and more. The company is a conglomerate of several dozen subsidiaries, operating in more than 17 countries. The Solution Experiencing rapid growth through acquisitions, the company had to battle two significant challenges. The in-house IT team was barely coping with the increasing demands. Any additional software developing projects would have resulted in overwhelmed developers, unable to perform their duties effectively, or a massive investment in additional IT staffing that increases operational costs and brings in the hassle of long recruitment and onboarding procedures. On the other hand, every new acquisition meant new systems and products added to the digital landscape. Each business function had its own approach to software development, leading to duplication of solutions and higher upkeep. The company needed a partner who can help them establish a robust software development process that can be standardized and unified. Cutting the time to seek the right full-time hire and reducing time-to-market to develop new products and features would have allowed the company to focus on its core business and strategy and prepare for future growth. The company needed not just “yes, sirs” but experts with fresh new perspectives that can provide multiple inputs into the software development strategy and take the company products to the next level of excellence. It can take up to several months to start a custom software development application. Many applications require a variety of skills, especially when you are planning to build a high-quality, high-value product for your business. The company wanted to move forward with its vision for a next-generation CPaaS solution to bring all of its customers and partners into a single platform with omnichannel capabilities. To achieve it, they needed a team of experienced professionals who can develop the whole software architecture and build the foundation of a highly productive platform that would be functional for at least a decade. Considering the tech talent shortage and the lack of technical competencies in certain areas, they decided to seek a reliable near-shore development partner that operates in similar time zones, has the talent pool of experts, and the experience in delivering complex solution architecture. Being a client-centric company with a culture of continuous innovation and mature engineering processes, Scalefocus took a flexible and collaborative approach. It accelerated our client's digital journey in several key business directions. The ability to rapidly scale up its software development operations with experienced developers, having industry domain knowledge, enabled ongoing enhancements of the existing viable products and significant cost savings. A separate, dedicated team started working on a proof of concept (PoC) for their next-gen CPaaS solution to unlock multiple communication channels and broader functionalities for their customer base. Knowledge transfer When managed and shared properly, knowledge can be a precious competitive advantage for a tech company. The knowledge transfer was another critical issue that was weighted off the client's shoulders. Having experience in exchanging project and product knowledge with hundreds of clients, Scalefocus helped streamline the knowledge transfer processes between developers through efficient project documentation, one-on-one meetings, mutual code reviews, and mentoring, where our seasoned professionals had to compensate knowledge that was inevitably lost. Integrated coding practices between teams enabled the client to ramp up faster when needed, instead of being stuck in the recruitment and onboarding phase, looking for candidates and losing valuable time and resources. Bug fixing and development of new functionalities With accumulated sizeable technical debt, part of our teams started working on the existing Communications service platform, fixing bugs and refactoring the code where needed. Bug fixing enabled better and more reliable services infrastructure, decreased business downtime, improved end-user satisfaction, and further relieved the customer support teams of the client. When the number of bugs dropped over time, we moved forward with developing cool new features for the platform. Our experts created a reporting service for cross-platform reports, providing the client with widgets to combine data from multiple platforms into a single report or chart. Further, we developed a templates management solution and integrated the feature with WhatsApp message templates, empowering end-customers to push highly relevant and personalized messages through our client's Communications service platform, reaching quickly and efficiently to their audiences. One of the company's service offerings is to enable clients to go paperless with their invoicing with cost-efficient, dynamic and flexible text-message invoicing for immediate payment. Having a proven track record in numerous integrations, our experts successfully integrated 3rd party banking software with one of their existing platforms, while a separate team was developing a new SMS routing feature for another viable product. Preparing for the future with next-gen CPaaS Maybe the most critical project for the client, where we focused our resources and know-how, was to lay the foundations and the solution architecture for its next-gen Communications platform as a service (CPaaS). The platform unites all of their customers into one powerful platform with complex and flexible subscriptions, which can be configured according to the customer's needs. The platform had to be designed as an out-of-the-box solution with features tailored as per the customer's requirements. The first and foremost technical challenge was to design software architecture that would be viable and functional at least ten years after the projected rollout date of the CPaaS, scheduled for 2025. This meant that our solution had to be relevant at least 15 years from now and had to consider the rapid innovations occurring in many different areas in the digital architectural landscape. We had to harness the best practices emerging and help guide the client away from common pitfalls. The platform had to enable our client to become a future-ready company, so we started designing the software architecture and the first value-added services with the future in mind. Our experts ensured that the proposed modules can be flexible in terms of execution and can be built on a variety of tech stacks. We considered the customers' needs and the overall objectives and mission of the client in terms of infrastructure, code quality, software development standards, best practices, cybersecurity, data distribution, GDPR, etc. We standardized the delivery and development process, network methodology, operational and support standards, availability, encryption, and how we will meet the desired SLAs. Our solution experts developed and the first value-added services, developing PoCs for account and API management. We are continuing with the development of PoCs for the rest of the services, and we'll be heavily engaged in the development of the Minimum Viable Product afterward. Results With the increased number of IT projects needed to support a business in hyper-growth, Scalefocus helped the client to plan and implement an extensive portfolio of software ventures focused on bringing their IT capabilities and services from good to great. The client benefited from a knowledgeable, highly technical diverse set of software development professionals who stepped in and began resolving issues immediately without significant losses of vital domain knowledge. Bringing new ideas and thought processes onboard empowered the company to propel its critical business operations. Our experts developed new features, extended the capabilities of their viable products, added new business solutions to the existing communications services platforms, and enabled faster time to market for new functionalities. We laid the foundation for the next-gen CPaaS solution, which was of utmost importance for the company's future. Our solution architects walked the client through the process of articulating clear goals, needs, and evaluation criteria and helped the company to sustain its competitive advantage, favorably positioning them for future growth. Along with a reduction in infrastructural costs, the client significantly reduced the cost of operations by easing the hire of software professionals, impacting the bottom line and resulting in higher business revenue. Key business benefits: Improved operational efficiency Access to a vast talent pool and industry experts Faster time to market for new features and products Decreased overhead and training costs Business flexibility – the customer was enabled to respond faster to changes in the market and exploit opportunities for growth 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.

Private Cloud-Based Application Development Healthcare & Life Science Private Cloud-Based Application Development Home / Case Studies Anchor 1 Success Story The clinical solutions provider managed to replace all of their monolithic solutions in a single cloud-based microservice platform divided by business domains. This decreased the time to market by double, decreased costs and allowed for greater control and visibility of quality through a CI pipeline. The application could also be easily changed to fit new products, without the need for any development. 15 000 Automated QA Tests 40% Cost Decrease Effective Services Distribution The Client Our client is one of the biggest clinical solutions providers offering high-quality, safe and affordable care. Their platform delivers significant cost-of-care savings across an expanding set of clinical domains, including rehab, radiology, cardiology, oncology, specialty drugs, sleep medicine, musculoskeletal care, and genetic testing. 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. So far, our team has been an integral part of the transformation journey of our client, which is revolutionizing their IT landscape with the introduction of more than twenty-three new technologies. Results The result of this project had a tremendous impact on the core aspects of our client’s business as well as on its future development and growth. The newly optimized platform allowed us to: • Set up a CI pipeline for automatic quality checks • Build a QA automation framework with 15,000 business domain-driven tests • Build a configuration layer for fast and dynamic change of the application to reflect new products without the need for development • Create clear and functional documentation including training videos to help the new team easily grasp the application’s code • Reach a twice faster time to market of new products • Delivered new features to production in 2-week sprints • Replaced all client’s solutions with a single unified platform • Increased cost savings by 40% • Enabled services distribution to allow for seamless delivery to end-customers.

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.

Book a meeting Every business is a technological business. At Scalefocus we make it our business to know the finance sector in and out and help organizations with their technology-related challenges. 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. Poor customer experience Poor customer experience costs financial institutions millions in revenue per year. Slow onboarding, lengthy procedures for opening an account, inefficient handling of client data all need to be addressed.

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.
