Development & Managed Service – Java

Introduction: This case study explores a real-world scenario where a client in the data center, education, and insurance sectors faced the challenge of managing 12 in-house Java applications that supported critical business functions. These applications needed to integrate with modern enterprise applications like Salesforce and ServiceNow through the TIBCO integration bus. The client sought a consolidated resource management approach to minimize risk, reduce costs, and ensure efficient support for their geographically diverse locations.

Challenge: The client faced several challenges in managing and supporting their in-house Java applications. These challenges included:

1. Resource consolidation: The client needed to consolidate their resources in one location to optimize support and reduce costs.
2. Geographic diversity: The client had locations spread across multiple regions, making it challenging to provide consistent and efficient support.
3. Risk management: Ensuring the reliability and availability of critical applications while minimizing potential risks was a key concern.
4. Cost optimization: The client aimed to reduce costs associated with application management and support without compromising quality.

Solution: To address the client’s challenges, Digile proposed a solution that leveraged offshore support centers in India and the Philippines. This approach provided the following benefits:
