It's been a challenging year for everyone. Looking on the positive side, we have helped our clients transition smoothly over the lockdown period. Focusing on cloud infrastructure and digital transformation, we automated various processes, optimising costs and performance.
We'll continue our efforts to exceed expectations. We have ambitious plans for 2021 and we're ready for the new normal. Before all that, we'd like to remember some of the things we accomplished together this year.
We became AWS Partners
The start of 2020 changed the entire world. When Covid-19 was a big unknown, we had to enforce our contingency plan. In a matter of two days, before any national lockdown, we had all our developers working remotely. Then all our efforts went to assisting our clients preparing for remote work.
It was in our plans to focus on cloud computing, and the new economic situation - together with the AWS focus on cost optimisation and the Well-Architected Framework - seemed the perfect solution. We started migrating clients into AWS, optimising their infrastructure and reducing costs by up to 50–70% from previous providers. We became an AWS Partner, and our plan for next year is to have all our developers AWS certified.
Focused on Digital Transformation
During the summer, once WFH/Zoom/pandemic became the new normal, we continued the digital transformation for our clients. On our website we added a special section providing guides and examples of how any business can benefit from digital transformation. We believe any business can automate processes - starting with the most boring tasks can increase any team's performance.
Increased our Tech Stack
Every year we aim to learn something new and increase our technical abilities so we're prepared for everything our clients may need. This year we surpassed ourselves. Using AWS cloud we had to improve and use various services within the AWS ecosystem to lower clients' billing costs. We built projects using new and modern frameworks. Every year we investigate one or two new tech stacks; this year we added six.
Looking forward to 2021
In 2021 we have big plans. We are preparing the launch of our partnership with fingersnap.it, a new Platform-as-a-Service helping to personalise customer experience and automate data behaviour. We'll continue our focus as an AWS Partner, improving the cost, performance and security of our clients' infrastructure.
One of the biggest changes in our tech stack this year is that we have stopped building websites using WordPress CMS. It's a big decision and we have our valid reasons. We're preparing to offer a free WordPress migration into a headless, optimised website, included in our maintenance plan.
Thank you for choosing us and being part of our team.
