AIM Consulting and global talent partner successfully develop cloud identity application for leading global technology organization
A leading technology company needed an expert technology consulting team to help with developing a cloud identity service migration tool.
Challenge
A leading global technology company aimed to capture market share in the cloud identity and access management space from competitors. However, their clients faced challenges when migrating from competing identity platforms. This required manual data collation and resulted in obscure and complex migration processes. The company needed an internal tool to provide insights into and streamline the efforts related to these migrations, allowing customers to discover, analyze, and catalog their identity applications, assisting them in making the decision to migrate and ultimately, simplifying their transition to the company’s cloud identity platform. The tool needed to dynamically analyze environments and pull relevant information together to estimate the complexity and effort it would take to complete said migrations.
Solutions
The technology company partnered with AIM Consulting (an Addison Group company) to develop a web application and command line interface (CLI) tool using JavaScript, .NET, HTML/CSS, and PowerShell. AIM was chosen based on their reputation for flexibility and agility with clients. AIM utilized a blended team model, with onshore account and engagement management support, while global resources based in Europe were focused on engineering, architecture, and implementation. The tool was designed to significantly simplify migrations from competitor products. This ultimately enhanced efficiency and also reduced manual effort for the company’s clients.
Over a multi-phase, multi-tool effort spanning three years, AIM’s team played a critical role in the successful development, implementation, and rollout of the tool. The resulting application provided substantial value. The company is now considering incorporating the tool as an official feature of its cloud platform.
Stakeholders praised AIM’s expertise, collaboration, and service levels, with feedback noting that AIM felt like an extension of their core team, providing timely and high-quality support that often surpassed that of internal teams.
