Brief Summary
Day to day operations management and monitoring
Our team runs routine maintenance, security, monitoring, and optimization tasks on Cortex's systems 24/7. This also includes regular IT, compliance, and security audits.
Cost reduction through consolidation
Our teams assessments and recommendations were able to reduce overhead by consolidating all of the necessary systems and services into a single datacenter.
Remade obsolete production software
Cortex used a fairly old custom platform for their day to day operations. Our team took the core concepts of said platform and remade it to modern standards.
The preliminary analysis
Cortex provides clients with mailing services handling millions of documents every single day. But as time goes on, outdated software
and architecture made without foresight created a bloated system which was technically still operable, but was sluggish, prone to errors,
and required heavy training of anyone coming into the company. We were tasked with resolving all of this while ensuring operations still run.
We quickly dispatched a team that analysed their entire network to get a good grasp of the project requirements. We quickly determined that
the system was fairly boilerplate, and over the years accumulated heaps of necessary additions that were slowing everything down. In addition
to this, the main tools they were using were old and outdated, with their internal custom solution severely lacking in features and speed.
So we quickly got to work.
The Work
First, we took everything from their small provider to our own datacenter where our team was able to scrub the entire system,
patch security holes, implement more modern architecture, and ensure the entire system was compliant with todays laws and regulations.
And this was all done in such a way that Cortex was still able to operate while our team was doing the work, seamlessly switching to
the new architecture with their team noticing the sharp increase in speed and reliability.
After this, our team set out to create a fresh set of internal tools that will allow the Cortex team to operate with out issues or slowdowns.
This was done completely from scratch, as the legacy code was too outdated and messy to be usable to our developers. Their new platform was
not only faster, more secure, and more reliable, but it also proved to be a massive morale boost to the team as they will no longer have to
stare at the window that needs 1 minute to update a simple entry.
Final results
With new tools at their disposal and a powerful system architecture to back everything up, Cortex was able to enter the 21st century and
keep up with the times without losing a single second of their business operations during the analysis and development time.
We work with Cortex to this day, monitoring, managing, and securing their new network infrastructure without a hitch, as their operations
keep expanding across France.
