Case Study: a multinational optical retail chain lowers costs and modernizes service delivery with Planit and Azure DevOps

How this optical retail chain enhanced its business services and significantly lowered costs by replacing its legacy Drupal system with Azure DevOps

A multinational optical retail chain faced challenges with its legacy Drupal system, which was nearing end-of-life and was part of a disparate backend that hindered scalability and data consolidation. To support its digital transformation and create a single customer view across its global operations, the retailer needed to decommission Drupal and re-platform its "Find and Book" application. They selected Planit to provide quality assurance and testing services for the migration to a new Microsoft Azure DevOps platform.

Planit implemented a comprehensive testing strategy, including end-to-end and test automation services, and championed an Agile "One-Team" approach to manage third-party collaborations. This ensured the Azure DevOps implementation was delivered on time and on budget with no reduction in scope. The successful rollout to initial markets was completed without any high-priority production issues, allowing the retailer to modernize its technology stack, significantly reduce the costs of finding and fixing issues, and accelerate release cycles.
