Case Study: Blackwood Group modernizes business-critical software with Stackery

How Blackwood Group Modernized Business-Critical Software with Stackery

Blackwood Group, a premier UK-based executive search firm, sought to modernize its legacy .NET software systems to improve agility, meet GDPR requirements, and provide its team with modern web-based access to data. The company wanted to adopt an AWS serverless strategy using Lambda and API Gateway but found the process of manually managing these services and writing the required CloudFormation YAML to be too time-consuming and complex for its team. They turned to vendor Stackery for a solution.

Stackery provided a platform that automated the infrastructure configuration, allowing Blackwood's developers to focus on writing application code instead of YAML. This solution enabled the team to quickly and confidently deploy serverless applications, resulting in a more agile development workflow and a deeper understanding of AWS services. With Stackery's support, Blackwood expanded its use of AWS and achieved an estimated 30% reduction in its total cloud spend.
