Situation
Sketch has been the sole development team creating a single platform for this company’s many brokerages. The brokerages rely on the platform to quickly analyze and aggregate data, which is integral when assessing and distributing risk. The platform addresses many challenges, including Carrier Evaluations, Claims Management, Coverage Negotiation, Policy Evaluation, and more. To ensure this product provides real-time information for its users, it relies on several data integrations and automated data ingestion.
The client had many disparate resources that needed to be pooled together to make appropriate risk assessments before offering policies at specified prices. They wanted a custom, low-cost, reliable solution to bring all the pertinent data together. Creating a single source of truth would enable their risk managers to generate accurate quotes faster than their competitors.
Lack of internal software development resources
Interestingly, this client has no internal IT department of their own to manage or maintain any infrastructure.
The lack of internal software development resources adds another layer to the challenge: the platform must be especially intuitive and low-maintenance.
Outsourced software development
Outsourcing doesn't have to mean offshoring. Talk to our 100% US-based software developers about how we can work like part of your own business.
This was a perfect job for a trusted AWS Partner. Sketch designed, architected, and built both the infrastructure and software application for them. We leveraged many of AWS’ managed services:
-
ElasticBeanstalk
-
RDS for MySQL
-
S3 for data storage
-
Lambda for low-cost, event-driven computations
Cloud made easy
All of these services help offload any maintenance or management burdens, negating the potential risks or downsides this client might otherwise face because they don’t have their own IT.
AWS consulting
Experienced AWS developers provided the client with a cloud-native software application that was highly resilient, fault-tolerant, secure, and performant.
We were able to leverage the flexibility and scalability of AWS to enable faster deployment cycles while building the software solution to get optimal client feedback and build the exact solution they needed.
