Case Study: a major retail company modernizes merchandising and speeds deployments with AIM Consulting's AWS Java microservices transformation

a major retail company cuts deployments to under two hours with AIM Consulting Group

AIM Consulting Group partnered with a major retail company whose merchandising organization was hindered by siloed, labor-intensive .NET processes and nightly batch updates. The customer aimed to modernize by moving to a microservices architecture on AWS but lacked the internal expertise and resources to execute the transition.

The solution from AIM Consulting involved developing a Java-based microservices architecture on AWS and establishing a new CI/CD pipeline with automated testing. This event-driven system automated data movement, eliminating manual batch processes. As a result, the transition was completed in under six months—much faster than anticipated—and deployment times were reduced from days or weeks to under two hours, significantly enhancing operational efficiency.
