Modernization of an outdated B2B SaaS platform with a focus on scalability, performance and future-proofing.
Our client, an established B2B SaaS company with over 150 employees, was facing significant challenges with its outdated technology platform. The platform, developed more than 10 years ago, was based on a monolithic architecture with outdated technologies, which led to long development cycles and frequent system failures.
Scalability was severely limited, which led to performance problems, especially with increasing user numbers. In addition, the tech team was fragmented and lacked clear processes. The company had recognized that a comprehensive modernization was necessary to remain competitive and enable future growth.
For this established B2B SaaS company, we provided an experienced fractional CTO who orchestrated the technological transformation with strategic vision. After a comprehensive analysis, we developed a modernization strategy with clear priorities and a future-proof target architecture. A carefully crafted migration plan minimized business disruption during the transformation.
The technical modernization comprised three core areas: The gradual migration from a monolith to a flexible microservices architecture, the implementation of a scalable cloud infrastructure with automatic load balancing, and the introduction of modern development practices such as CI/CD and automated tests. A robust monitoring system enabled proactive action to be taken in the event of potential problems and significantly increased system availability.
In parallel to the technical transformation, we supported the reorganization of the tech team. We defined clear roles and responsibilities, introduced agile development methods and provided comprehensive training. A newly developed governance framework promoted innovation while maintaining consistency and quality. This holistic approach created a solid foundation for future growth and innovation.
The implemented technical architecture included:
The implementation was carried out using an agile, iterative approach:
"The Fractional CTO has not only transformed our technical infrastructure, but also initiated a cultural change in our company. We are now technologically competitive and can react quickly to market requirements. The investment has already paid for itself after just a few months."
