Case Study: Blis achieves zero-downtime GCP migration and 20% lower infrastructure costs with SoftServe

Gcp migration supports optimized cost Effectiveness and cloud experience for Advanced location data leader

Blis, a global leader in real-world intelligence and mobile location data, needed to improve cost effectiveness and support by migrating its highly complex, globally distributed infrastructure to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). The environment included more than 150 instances and services across five regions, with strict downtime constraints for client-facing systems and a 20-minute maximum for core infrastructure.

SoftServe led the migration with a discovery phase, GCP readiness work, and a step-by-step migration plan, then re-platformed services using GKE, BigQuery, Cloud Dataproc, Cloud Composer, and other GCP services. SoftServe also built custom synchronization for databases and pipelines to support low-downtime cutover, enabling Blis to complete the migration in under four months, achieve zero downtime for critical applications, and reduce its monthly infrastructure bill by 20%.
