Cloud-Native SaaS Platform Development for an Agribusiness Solution Provider 

A US-based agribusiness solutions provider needed to modernize its legacy platform into a cloud-native SaaS product while supporting existing operations. Limited internal cloud skills and aggressive time-to-market goals created significant delivery risk. CES built offshore Agile teams and delivered a microservices-based, serverless architecture with CI/CD and TDD – reducing operational costs and accelerating release cycles.

The Need

The legacy application needed to transition into a scalable, cloud-native SaaS platform while continuing to support existing users. The organization required a modernization roadmap, a modular architecture, and the ability to accelerate delivery through offshore teams—without interrupting mission-critical operations.

Challenges

  • Cloud Knowledge Gap – Limited internal experience in cloud-native design, microservices, and serverless patterns.
  • Legacy Support During Migration – Existing systems required continued maintenance while the SaaS platform was being built.
  • Customer Assurance & Speed – The new platform had to reach the market quickly without compromising performance or stability.

CES executed a structured modernization program combining architecture redesign, delivery acceleration, and operational alignment.

  • SaaS Modernization Roadmap: Defined modernization priorities, assessed technical debt, established timelines, and set KPIs for delivery, quality, and platform performance.
  • Cloud-Native Architecture: Designed a microservices-based, API-driven platform with serverless components to handle variable workloads and reduce infrastructure overhead.
  • Offshore Agile Teams with CI/CD & TDD: Built self-managed product teams, implemented CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, and embedded TDD practices to enhance quality and release velocity.
  • Knowledge Transition & Risk Control: Facilitated on-site knowledge exchange, strengthened domain understanding, and ensured continuity across distributed teams while balancing delivery speed and architectural stability.
  • Faster Time-to-Market with Agile teams, CI/CD, and modular architecture
  • 50% Lower Operational Costs through serverless and cloud-native patterns
  • High Customer Satisfaction with minimal service disruption
  • Modern, Scalable SaaS Platform built for future expansion
  • Improved Product Quality driven by TDD and automated pipelines
