The Challenge
The client was experiencing frequent and costly downtime due to outdated on-premises infrastructure, which hampered their ability to deliver critical services efficiently. This led to delays in operations, affecting their mission to help individuals overcome benefits cliffs.
Manual processes for managing their infrastructure were not only time-consuming but also prone to errors, resulting in inefficiencies and increased operational costs.
The lack of scalability and fault tolerance in their current setup made it difficult to adapt to growing demands, making immediate action necessary to ensure their continued impact.
Our Solution
We addressed the client's challenges by:
Implementing Faster Delivery Mechanisms:
DevOps practices were introduced to enable the team to ship software more rapidly, reducing the frequent downtimes and improving deployment cycles, which were crucial for maintaining their operations.
Lowering Development Costs:
By synchronizing coders, testers, and DevOps engineers, and automating testing processes, we significantly reduced development costs, addressing the client’s concerns about rising operational expenses.
Enhancing Scalability:
We deployed all web applications end-to-end on the AWS cloud, creating a scalable and fault-tolerant environment. This ensured the client could meet growing demands and maintain continuous service, overcoming the limitations of their outdated on-premises infrastructure.

I wanted to take a moment to highlight and commemorate the efforts from our dedicated PIO team. To preface, the projects we work on here are complex, with rigid objectives, budgets, and timelines. Expectations are always high and are ever-changing. From the start of our relationship, the IO team was able to exceed expectations and make our business wishes a reality.
Over the past year I have worked with them, they have worked very hard to understand our highly customized system and troubleshoot things with little or no documentation while managing to keep the business up and running normally. Without the hard work and dedication they have shown, I know we would have had some issues causing downtime or lost production. I am looking forward to continuing working them in the next year as well.
I have been working with Programmers IO for more than 5 years now and I have been pleased with all projects and developers that I have worked with. We have had a few issues here and there but they have always fixed and made it right. They have been an excellent addition to our business.
