Cloud Adoption Yields Newfound DevOps Culture and Accelerated Product Innovation

When a health and wellness company needed to accelerate the delivery of a modernized application development platform, it partnered with Redapt to make it happen.

In a nutshell ...

A health and wellness company focused on connecting communities through shared experiences needed assistance in modernizing their application development platform. Adopting DevOps culture and tools helped the organization shift resources from operations towards accelerated product innovation.

The Problem

The health care organization was interested in increasing the pace of technology innovation. Unfortunately, the technical debt of a legacy development platform and inflexible on-premises hardware were limiting progress. The technology team’s resources were busy operating datacenter infrastructure, maintaining their development environment, and developing new application features. 

The Solution

The healthcare company engaged Redapt to accelerate delivery of a modernized application development platform on Microsoft Azure DevOps Services. The Redapt team provided Azure Adoption Services and migrated their development, test, and production environments to the cloud. The overall solution enabled our customer’s technology team to shift resources towards innovation rather than operations.

The Outcome

A modern cloud-based DevOps environment. 

  • A smooth shift to DevOps culture and tooling. 
  • Azure Cloud and DevOps services enabled resources to accelerate innovation. 
  • The customer experienced faster application deployment cycles and better application resilience. 
  • Redapt deployed Azure infrastructure with best practices resulting in increased security posture and application performance. 
  • Redapt effectively transferred knowledge to the customer's technology team.

Moment of clarity

Adopting cloud services was the right strategy. However, the customer realized they lacked internal expertise to migrate and modernize their on-premises environment to Azure. They found value in working with Redapt to accelerate the process and build their new DevOps platform and application architectures with best practices. While the migration was underway, the healthcare IT professionals continued to keep their production environment running well while learning the new skills needed to efficiently operate in the cloud.
