Legacy systems can hold back even the most promising platforms, especially when the world is ready to engage. For a growing player in the employee engagement space, outdated infrastructure was standing in the way of global expansion. Oceans partnered with the client to modernize their platform, accelerate feature delivery, and unlock new levels of performance and reach. In just one year, the transformation positioned the company to scale confidently and serve multinational clients around the world.
The Challenge
The client’s platform, operating in the employee engagement space, was still running on legacy infrastructure, which limited scalability and slowed down feature development. As global demand for their services increased, particularly from large multinational companies, the system limitations became a major blocker to growth and innovation.
The Process
Oceans assembled a technical team to work in close collaboration with the client’s internal developers and leadership. The engagement focused on two critical streams: modernization and acceleration.
Over the course of one year, the team successfully:
- Migrated the entire legacy infrastructure to a cloud-based environment, improving scalability, security, and performance.
- Took full ownership of feature development, allowing the internal team to focus on product strategy and stakeholder management.
- Enabled faster release cycles, better platform stability, and long-term maintainability of the system.
The Team
The Oceans team was composed of backend, frontend, and cloud engineers who operated as an embedded extension of the client’s product organization. Daily collaboration and full transparency enabled the team to anticipate risks, reduce bottlenecks, and adapt features based on evolving business needs.
The Solution
By the end of the engagement, the platform had undergone a full transformation. Now recognized as a leading solution in the employee engagement space, the product connects companies and employees with global merchant networks, creating a stronger sense of connection and value at scale.
What started as a modernization effort evolved into a strategic technology partnership, proving that Oceans teams can step in, lead delivery, and help clients level up their platforms for global impact.
