Guided and Informed Transformation
A series of intensive hands-on workshops were held by Xebia straight away, consisting of planning sessions, architectural design, technical training, and solution validation. This allowed the smartphoto team to quickly become proficient in Google Cloud Platform.
To reduce risk, a progressive country-by-country roll-out strategy was determined, conducting a “lift & shift” of the current infrastructure in the first phase. The second stage included autoscaling, more fundamental improvements in the architecture alongside making smartphoto more cloud-savvy.
The majority of the migration was conducted independently by smartphoto’s team, with regular and flexible input from Xebia. This advice and architectural guidance included hands-on help and support with technical issues when required.
