Case study
UST helped North America Telco customer accelerate infrastructure provisioning by 90% and cut Opex cost by 50%
OUR CLIENT
Founded nearly 30 years ago, this telecommunications company has become a leading provider of wireless services in North America. Offering flexible, competitive services, the company generates approximately $80 billion in revenue annually and serves almost 115 million customers.
THE CHALLENGE
Out-dated payment processing system put company’s revenue stream at risk
Our client’s proprietary On-premise payment processing system was aging and couldn’t scale to keep pace with growth. The platform availability was another major concern. In addition, the CFO realized the system was having difficulty accepting new, modern forms of payments. The CIO had become increasingly concerned about the system's security.
THE TRANSFORMATION
Modern cloud infrastructure addresses security risks and availability
A project team from UST modernized the payment application and underlying infrastructure by moving to a more secure, resilient, scalable hybrid cloud environment that is compliant & operates at scale with telemetry & observability. Team also upgraded the messaging platform from RabbitMQ to resilient Kafka clusters with full deployment automation.
THE IMPACT
New cloud environment cut costs and accelerated infrastructure provisioning
After the payment processing system was migrated to a hybrid cloud environment, the company:
- Accelerated infrastructure provisioning cycles by 90% - thanks to 1-click deployment pipelines
- 100% availability through service discovery and registry
- Cut operational costs by 50%
- Zero data loss through replication, overcoming the challenges caused by ‘Queues’ in RabbitMQ
- Scalable architecture that can support exponential growth
- Telemetry with real-time data insights and alerts
