🚀 Reclaiming Control: Empowering Labor Operations with Scalable Cloud Solutions

🏆 Challenge :

A major labor union faced a critical impasse when their software vendor demanded a steep 30% hike in annual fees, amounting to $4 million per year. The vendor's claim to maintain the software’s functionality was vital for processing member benefits, jobs, and services. With no documentation or visibility into the codebase, the union’s dependence on the vendor left their operations vulnerable. Adding urgency, a four-week deadline was set to transition the system, threatening to disrupt services for thousands of members.

💡Solution :

We reverse-engineered the proprietary software, unlocking the code to ensure operational continuity. The team swiftly migrated the union’s entire software stack to a secure cloud environment, including dependencies such as payment gateways and Kubernetes workloads. Modern engineering practices, including CI/CD pipelines, were implemented to boost performance. The migration was executed seamlessly, avoiding downtime and ensuring resilience under intense time constraints.

🏅 The Results :

The labor union reclaimed full control of its software, achieving annual savings of $2 million by eliminating vendor lock-in. The new cloud-based infrastructure improved system scalability, performance, and security. With a fully documented and maintainable system, the union now operates autonomously, safeguarding member services while reducing operational costs.
