The Challenge

The majority of communications companies still maintain legacy systems that decrease their efficiency and flexibility. Accessing, interfacing, and maintaining these accounts is a challenge that API Services can overcome.

Solsys has been instrumental in helping us deliver our next generation API management service. Their strategy and approach helped us deliver a highly secure, scalable, reliable service that can be readily maintained. We have been able to migrate a large portion of our legacy traffic to the new platform, while still being able to accommodate unplanned project requirements and deliver the features required to support our new and evolving business.

The Solution

As part of the Solsys approach, we organized product-focused teams that are empowered to deliver a product in an iterative and predictable cadence with business alignment across the API Services product. We applied an Agile architecture and Lean approach, building a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) which we expand as needed, to replace legacy systems using an iterative model.

Our solution enabled the company to effectively divert new traffic to the new product and actively migrate legacy systems while allowing them to pivot on business priorities. Our architecture leverages existing API platform investments and open orchestrations for we build and deploy through Continuous Integration & Continuous Delivery.
