When global demand accelerates, infrastructure must keep up. A digital services company facing rapid growth needed more than a quick tech fix they needed a long-term partner to help rebuild their platform from the ground up. With Oceans, they found just that. Over two years, our team co-architected and scaled a modern platform capable of serving over 200,000 users across 100+ countries. This is the story of how strategic collaboration, modern engineering, and ownership-driven execution made a global vision possible.
The Challenge
The client’s digital platform was struggling to keep up with user growth. Delays in sourcing the right technical talent made it difficult to scale the product effectively or maintain stability under pressure. The lack of backend structure and user experience limitations created friction for users and internal teams alike, jeopardizing growth momentum.
The Process
Oceans deployed a multidisciplinary team of engineers to work closely with the client’s internal development group. Collaboration began from the ground up and included both remote and on-site phases, including in-person visits to the client’s offices in Chicago to demo and align on the beta version of the new platform.
Over the course of two years, the team partnered with the client to execute:
- The creation of a completely new platform, with an upgraded interface and more intuitive user flows.
- A robust backend architecture designed for performance and flexibility.
- Cloud migration of the legacy system for better scalability and cost efficiency.
- Ongoing support, maintenance, and continuous improvement of the product post-launch.
This was not just a delivery effort, it was a long-term partnership built on ownership and shared outcomes.
The Team
The team from Oceans included backend, frontend, and cloud engineers who worked in tight coordination with the client’s internal developers. This setup enabled rapid iteration, early validation, and continuous delivery. The team operated with full visibility into the business goals and served as both an extension and a technical backbone for the client.
The Solution
The result was a fully modernized and scalable platform that could meet the growing needs of a global user base. The product now supports over 200,000 active participants across 100+ countries, with a cloud-native infrastructure, improved UX, and future-ready backend.
The success of this engagement reflects how Oceans teams don’t just fill talent gaps, they build alongside clients, take ownership of outcomes, and stay committed from MVP to scale.
