A Tizbi Case Study
Infobase, The Education Center, which operates an online magazine for teachers called The Mailbox, faced significant challenges with its technology infrastructure. The system relied on expensive licensed third-party tools and databases, which consumed most of the budget and hindered development. Tizbi was engaged to refactor and digitalize the platform to reduce costs and free up resources for future growth.
Tizbi's solution involved a comprehensive six-month refactoring project. They migrated the database from Oracle to MySQL and replaced a licensed search engine with Elasticsearch, while also refactoring the front and back end to make the site more intuitive. This work by Tizbi resulted in substantial budget savings for The Mailbox team, which could then be reallocated to development. The improvements also led to an increase in the number of subscriptions for the online resource.
