Industry
- Automotive (German car manufacturer)
Challenge
- Developing a compliance enforcement platform for a German car manufacturer's after-sales applications.
Solution
A compliance enforcement platform was developed for a German car manufacturer's after-sales applications in collaboration with re:think Innovations GmbH.
The portal has a hierarchical role and rights assignment system and allows secure login for 800,000 users with federated single sign-on via SAML and OIDC.
The platform includes web services to retrieve users' rights and roles and is highly available 24/7.
Methodology
Our experts played a key role in developing a PoC and the iterative development of a microservices-based portal solution that refactored an old monolithic on-prem system.
Our Cloud Solutions architects implemented a hybrid cloud approach with a highly available, scalable, and decoupled cloud-native architecture that is connected to the on-prem network. Our operations team provided 24/7 support using a DevOps approach, and our integration architects assisted in integrating and connecting the portal to group services.
Our roll-out team was responsible for coordinating the implementation of organizational processes, supporting managers who administer 800,000 users.
