Case Study: a global creative technology company boosts access speed and security with Belitsoft’s Azure cloud migration

Global Creative Technology Company reduces 500 hours of monthly downtime with Belitsoft

Belitsoft was engaged by a global creative technology company to address significant performance and accessibility issues with its core business application. The client's legacy IT infrastructure, centered on a single European server, could not support its global workforce of 17,000 employees across the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. This resulted in slow application speeds, frequent downtime estimated at 500 hours per month, and a conflict between security requirements that mandated VPN use and the VPN's own negative impact on performance.

Belitsoft executed a full migration of the application and its supporting infrastructure to Microsoft Azure. The solution involved a proof of concept, application modernization through database optimization and active geo-replication, and enhanced security integration with Okta. The results delivered by Belitsoft included a highly scalable architecture with much faster performance while maintaining a high level of security. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and Belitsoft's efforts provided ongoing opportunities for further cost reduction and performance tuning.
