Custom Development Belfast
The client was moving from traditional networked embedded systems to Cloud technologies, seeking a scalable IoT application to track assets and support various business units.
The client had not developed a solution in Microsoft Azure cloud before, with a small team investigating how the cloud could be managed and interact with their IoT devices. Its internal team was under-experienced to deliver the mission critical project with its large requirements list, multiple workflows and tight deadlines.
A skilled team that had worked together successfully on similar projects previously built an IoT platform that was scalable, maintainable and could work with the client's different workflows, with a UI designer rapidly designing a User Interface that incorporated requirements and stakeholder suggestions.
Within agreed timescales and budget, Avata developed a scalable IoT application to track 50,000 assets and support 35 different organisations, with the open source technologies allowing the client to scale the solution across customers globally in a cost and time effective manner, while sharing knowledge so internal teams could keep the project running smoothly.
We needed to build, not to hire. We could not have recruited and on-boarded a team to deliver this level of quality in anywhere near the same amount of time that it has taken Avata to bring systems live and add huge value. They are upskilling our internal teams so they can continue to maintain the project after Avata has completed it. Avata was the smartest possible way to acquire a high-performing team, access niche skills, and develop our own capabilities.
