Customer-Centric Solutions: Tech Stack Upgrades, Salesforce Integration, and Agile Transformation
Harnessing the capabilities of a dedicated Offshore Development Center, Brillio and the client’s team embarked on a collaborative journey to enhance both agent and consumer experiences.
The initial focus was on platform modernization, transitioning from .NET to Ruby on Rails and, subsequently, to React.js. Embracing a cloud-first strategy, the teams seamlessly integrated AWS into their framework while transitioning to a more agile Microservices-based approach for legacy services.
Furthermore, agile-based global delivery models were implemented for enhanced efficiency and responsiveness across project lifecycles. Offshore Development Center (ODC) operations were then formalized, bolstering productivity and collaboration with a team of over 125 members. This structured framework enhanced project management and ensured seamless coordination between onshore and offshore teams.
Additionally, AWS Data Lakes for Listing were unified, with a 24/7 data operations framework and Consumer & Customer Data Science initiatives, fostering a cohesive data ecosystem. This integration facilitated streamlined data management, enhanced analytics capabilities, and empowered data-driven decision-making processes.
A Salesforce-based billing system was successfully implemented, with Marketing Cloud and Service Cloud solutions enhancing customer relationship management and operational efficiency.
Throughout the implementation, SEO Microservices and NPM Packages were introduced, which helped in serving dynamic SEO content, as well as introducing the latest SEO content rendering techniques like JSON-LD (Schema Markup) and Dynamic interlinks and ML models.
