Case Study: EQUANS scales SLAM portal invocations by over 1000% with Leighton

EQUANS scales SLAM portal invocations by 1070% with Leighton

EQUANS, a major facilities management company, faced a critical challenge with its outdated SharePoint-based SLAM (starters, leavers, and amends) portal. The HR process was at high risk as Microsoft was withdrawing functionality, threatening the system that supported over 13,500 UK employees. EQUANS partnered with Leighton to build a new, secure, and scalable custom software solution to manage employee onboarding, changes, and leavers while ensuring GDPR compliance.

Leighton architected a cloud-native solution on AWS, utilizing a micro-service architecture with services like AWS Lambda and DynamoDB to create a highly scalable and cost-efficient platform. The new SLAM portal built by Leighton increased weekly invocations by over 1070%, reduced processing times for HR tasks, and achieved an estimated 90% in cost savings through optimized resource allocation. The solution also ensured full GDPR compliance and provided enhanced visibility across the entire HR process.
