The Challenges
The client is a large technology solutions provider for the construction industry. They have multiple user portals that help Home builders to offer customized housing plans for their end customers. The portals also allow the builders, traders, suppliers, corporate admins, customers and other service providers to interact & carry out their day-to-day operations. Multiple portals meant high infrastructure costs, expensive maintenance cycles, and complex data management. With over 2000 users interacting daily, providing secure data access with specific rights was a crucial challenge.
To overcome all these challenges and enable quick production line turnaround, the client wanted to create a next-gen technology solution. They wanted to launch a single portal that integrates all the existing portals, helping the builders to offer on demand Home Models and options. However, large data storage, multiple user authentication, data security, system response time and cost-effective architecture were the most important aspects for the client to consider before integration. The client underwent a thorough assessment of various cloud platforms to deploy their single-integrated user portal. As Azure provides capabilities to handle large volumes of data, owing to 50,000+ models & customization options, they narrowed down to Azure platform for their deployment needs. Additionally, specific features such as scalability, security and system uptime for low response rate strengthened their decision to adopt Azure platform.
