Challenge:
The client needed a robust, globally accessible web portal that would allow their customers to add, change, and maintain technology equipment warranties. The solution also needed to enable clients to request support and inquire about all services, warranties, and contracts. High availability and zero downtime were essential to ensure customer trust and satisfaction.

The new portal significantly improved customer experience and internal operational efficiency. The high-availability architecture ensures business continuity, while the structured development environments have strengthened the client’s ability to manage and scale their application with confidence. The project delivered a highly reliable, globally accessible web portal with zero downtime, supported by Azure’s failover capabilities. Development processes became more efficient through segregated environments for testing and deployment, which improved change control and code promotion. Most importantly, customers gained a seamless and secure way to manage warranties, request support, and access service information, while the company benefited from a successful on-time delivery from inception to launch using Agile methodology.
