Realizing Success Through Team Augmentation: Case Studies
✅ Team Augmentation for Big Data and AI Company
One of our clients offering IT Services in the field of Big Data and AI, facing CKAN knowledge obstacles reached out to us. Keitaro was able to offer its expertise in development of custom CKAN functionalities and created a multilingual data portal with specific design and extensions, enabling content in hebrew and arabic, as well as in english.
The initial collaboration started with assigning one senior engineer with vast experience in developing CKAN extensions. As the project progressed, two additional engineers were allocated (backend and frontend developers).
✅ DevOps Team Augmentation for Telecom Company
Looking for an experienced DevOps team to create a centralized DevOps organization responsible for internal infrastructure, this Telecom Company reached out to Keitaro for a solution. Our team was able to help with setup of CI/CD pipelines and cloud infrastructure.
Allocating one of Keitaro’s most senior engineers, this collaboration that started off as a short term project, has developed into a long-term DevOps partnership and mentorship. Our consultant was responsible for setting up the internal infrastructure, improving the process and updating the technology used as a foundation for the company’s software and tools.
The client was able to benefit immensely from this consultancy collaboration and improve internal processes, setting up new CI/CD pipelines and improving efficiency across the board.
✅ CKAN Upgrades for the Aquatic Research Institute
Ever struggled with an almost unsolvable issue? So did our client in the Research Industry. Pinpointing several known issues on their CKAN portal, but not being able to fix themselves for a long time – talk about time and budget costs.
Starting off our collaboration, we’ve dedicated one of our top CKAN engineers to this project, which later on was upgraded with two more developers. Our team was able to fill up the knowledge gap this company had regarding their CKAN platform, while upgrading it from CKAN 2.7 to CKAN 2.9 version.
As said, “two birds with one stone”, Keitaro’s consultants were able to fix issues and provide valuable knowledge transfer to their internal development team.
✅ Telecommunication Provider and DevOps Consultancy
One of the key benefits of team augmentation is the fast implementation, knowledge transfer and support to your company’s internal teams. Keitaro was able to support one of the worlds’ biggest Telecommunication Providers in need of DevOps resources who would be able to support and maintain their complex infrastructure.
A team of 5 DevOps engineers were allocated to work alongside the company’s DevOps team, handling the deployments of every active development, monitoring the clusters, implementing new technologies and creating branching strategies.
This collaboration was of great importance since all of the systems we’ve maintained and improved, are used by their customers. Ensuring that all applications run smoothly, at any given time was taken care of by our consultants.
