Case Study: Leading Digital Transformation Platform Providing Company reduces hosting costs by 300% and onboarding time to 50 minutes with Excellarate

A PLM Solutions Provider Improves Customer Onboarding Time And Hosting Cost By More Than 3X

Leading Digital Transformation Platform Providing Company partnered with Excellarate to modernize its PLM solutions for fashion and apparel customers. The company was facing steep hosting costs, regional latency, and a very manual onboarding process that could take 2–3 weeks, making its offering too expensive and slow for the SME market.

Excellarate re-platformed the application for AWS by containerizing the monolithic Windows-based PLM system with Docker and building a Spring Boot SaaS for automated infrastructure provisioning, database setup, deployment, access configuration, health checks, and smoke testing. Excellarate then extended the design to a multi-zone, high-availability cluster using AWS services such as EFS and Data Pipeline, managed by Rancher. The result was a 300% reduction in hosting costs, onboarding time cut to 50 minutes, and the ability to support 23 SME customers across North America, Europe, and Asia.
