A Practical and Tactical Migration Path

September, 2021

With cloud providers like AWS becoming more prominent, businesses are looking to leverage an ecosystem of infrastructure services to scale and grow these applications. But monolithic architectures impose design constraints that impede that goal. Here, we explore some of the limitations of monolithic design and offer a strategy toward modernization.

    Benefits of AWS Migration

    AWS migration enables rapid access to flexible and low cost IT resources. There's no need for large upfront investments in hardware. And there's no heavy lift of managing that hardware. Instead, you can provision exactly what you need to operate your application. Best of all, AWS is designed to scale with the business.

    Scalability

    Services can be ramped up or down at the push of a button in response to a large spike of traffic like that which is brought about by major news releases and seasonality

    Security

    AWS has world class, highly secure data centers and myriad tools for managing privacy of data and access to application services

    Resiliancy

    Multiple geographic regions and availability zones allow you to remain resilient in the face of most failure modes, including natural disasters or system failures

    Speed & Agility

    Develop and deploy Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications faster, eliminating the need for clients to install the software locally or maintain their own internal data centers

    Best In Class PaaS

    AWS provides highly scalable managed services for database, caching, data-warehousing, transcoding, storage, backup and application management

    No Capital Expense

    AWS works as an Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) enabling a cloud data center with no investment in physical hardware and saving capital for other core business objectives

    Case Study

    Diagnostic Assessment

    The client is a college. Gavant built a diagnostic assessment designed to help students transition to college. The software provides personalized feedback about students' strengths and weaknesses in terms of key academic and self-regulated learning skills, linking them to the resources to help them be successful students.

    Case Study

    Research Platform

    The client is a specialized asset management and advisory firm. Gavant developed an extensive front-middle-back office platform that aimed to improve the investment process while facilitating collaboration of research, buying power and technology. The solution provided workflow tools that streamlined the cost of investment execution.

    Case Study

    Medical Practice Management

    The client is a medical billing and healthcare software company. Gavant built a new product offering for medical practices to manage their services and related billing. The solution provided comprehensive tools for medical transcription, patient service tracking, record management and insurance claim tracking.

    Case Study

    Custom Order Entry

    The client is a swimming pool manufacturer with an engineer-to-order (ETO) and make-to-order (MTO) manufacturing division. Gavant built a custom order entry interface for ETO/MTO product lines with business logic that recognized the interdependencies of materials and application, including a design management tool that facilitated exponential growth in custom orders. The result was improved quoting accuracy, billing accuracy, throughput speed and customer satisfaction.

    Case Study

    Music Asset Catalog

    The client is a global provider of premium stock images and video. Gavant built out a full integration of music assets into their existing platform, complete with audio preview, transcoding, bundled licensing and payment checkout. The end result was a fluid user experience for consumers of multimedia content licensing and purchase.
