Our Cloud App Development and Migration Stories

The Scope of ScienceSoft’s Cloud Application Services

We can provide any single service or a mix of services from the list.

For a new cloud app implementation, we can elicit business needs, describe and prioritize functional and technical requirements, design architecture and UX/UI, estimate TCO and ROI, conduct a feasibility study and provide a project roadmap. For existing cloud apps, we can assess their quality and efficiency and suggest short-term and long-term improvements.

Cloud app development

Whether you need a simple mobile app or a complex enterprise system, we have the skills and expertise to deliver the perfect solution for you. We cover every aspect of the app development process, from ideation and design to coding, testing, deployment, and user training.

If you want to test and validate functionality before full-scale implementation, we can start with PoCs, interactive prototypes, and MVPs.

See all

We move apps of any complexity from on-premises infrastructures to cloud-based ones — quickly, safely, and with minimal disruptions to business processes. Before the migration, we will choose the most optimal migration strategy (rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, etc.) and fitting cloud services, define the steps and timelines. After the migration, our team can set up monitoring tools to keep track of the app’s performance, response time, and load and handle its continuous support.

See all

We plan and build reliable, secure, easy-to-support and scale integrations between custom and commercial systems using cloud services. For legacy apps, we additionally plan and implement software modifications.

See all

Our cloud experts can help you plan and build a new top-performing SaaS product or rework your existing software solutions into a successful SaaS app. We cover all aspects, from idea productization, brand design, and UI/UX to development and testing. Our team works with advanced technologies — like AI/ML, AR/VR, and blockchain — to expand the scope of functions your SaaS can perform. Your sole ownership of the code is spelled out in the contract.

See all

We ensure that applications deployed in the cloud function properly and efficiently 24/7. For this, we provide continuous performance and security monitoring and optimization, regular upgrades and patches, regular backups and disaster recovery strategy updates.

We are also ready to support the users who encounter issues or have questions about using the application.

See all

We can encapsulate an application or an app component and its dependencies into a container, which can then be easily deployed and managed in a cloud environment. Containerization helps increase apps’ agility, improve performance and reliability, and reduce development and maintenance costs.

See all

We help design, configure, monitor, manage, and optimize every component of the infrastructure underlying cloud-based applications: servers, storage, networking, private and public integrations, etc.

See all

Whether you need to set up a secure cloud environment from scratch or enhance the security of your existing cloud assets, we ensure the solid protection of your cloud data, apps, and underlying infrastructure. Our services go beyond just identifying vulnerabilities in cloud security: we provide extensive guidance and remediation assistance.

See all

Cloud usage optimization

We help you maximize the efficiency of cloud resources and infrastructure. This involves continuous monitoring and cost analysis, identifying areas where cloud resources are being underutilized or overutilized, enabling autoscaling, optimizing data storage, and more.

Leo Burnett Worldwide: What Is Working with ScienceSoft Like

For 4 years, we have been trusted with software development and support projects, including those based on .NET and AWS cloud, from a renowned advertising agency Leo Burnett Worldwide. Sam Gooby, Head of Platform Production at Leo Burnett, reveals his first-hand experience on cooperation with our team.

Must-Have Attributes of Our Apps

Scalability and portability

We split an application into services/microservices and get them containerized to help you minimize downtimes caused by application overload or migration.

Resilience

We use hierarchies of services, message queues, dynamic scaling, and automated recovery to eliminate the possibility of app failure escalation.

Flexibility

We leverage layered architectures, clear separation of concerns (SoC), standardized and well-documented APIs, etc., to make cloud apps easily adopt updates (e.g., conceptual changes, new features) and integrate with other applications.

Security

We heavily invest in a mature information security system compliant with ISO 27001 and follow CIS, NIST, and OWASP requirements and recommendations. We also retain top security experts on board, build a secure development environment, ensure strict access control and strong encryption algorithms.

Cost-efficiency

We have a vast set of tools and practices to reduce software development, maintenance, and hosting costs. Depending on your needs, they can include building reusable code, automating CI/CD and testing, using the right ready-to-use cloud services for storage, event processing, integration, data management and analytics.

Compliance

Our in-house compliance consultants ensure that your app meets all the applicable requirements (HIPAA, PCI DSS, GDPR, ZATCA, SAMA, and other global and local standards). For new apps, compliance becomes an integral step of the development plan. For the existing apps, our experts identify compliance gaps, develop a remediation plan, and implement the required changes.

Fast and Stable Cloud App Development

Quick tangible results

We deliver iteratively and provide daily minor releases and major releases each 2–3 weeks.

Simplified code maintenance

We provide comprehensive coding documentation, optimize software architecture, use tried-and-tested development practices and tools defined by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) and have quality controls at each stage of SDLC.

A high level of automation

We expertly automate code integration, testing, and monitoring to deploy as frequently as several times a day with a change failure rate of <5%.

Incorporated industry specifics

With hands-on experience in 30+ industries, our IT consultants and software developers are quick to deeply understand your challenges and business needs and create solutions to meet them.

Experienced project managers and well-defined communication points

Our PMs professionally bridge the gaps between business and complex, cross-functional, distributed teams and take the role of a single point of contact to make the projects run smoothly and fast.

Self-managed cross-functional teams

Our teams can include a team lead, developers, DevOps engineers, testers, IT consultants, designers, and other roles. Regardless of the composition, our teams are trained to work independently and take full responsibility for the quality of deliverables.

How Much Will Your Cloud App Project Cost?

ScienceSoft is ready to provide precise estimates for your cloud app development initiative so that you could plan your budget with confidence. For accurate estimation, we take into account:

  • The number and complexity of app features.
  • The development method for app features (built with ready cloud services or coded from scratch).
  • The number of user roles.
  • The complexity of the application logic and workflows.
  • The number and complexity of integrations with other software systems.
  • UI design uniqueness and complexity (including the number and complexity of screens).
  • Government and industry regulations to comply with.
  • The cloud to host the app and cloud services employed, and more.

Cloud App Initiative Q&A by ScienceSoft

How can we avoid cloud vendor lock-in?

Ensure that your cloud application is designed without complex infrastructure dependencies to easily switch vendors of some cloud services if needed.

Another option is to create a cloud-agnostic cloud app, but it can tangibly increase the cost and duration of the development project.

How not to end up paying more for cloud than for local hosting?

Consider cloud-native architectures for your application. Companies usually experience 30-60% cost savings from what would normally be required for local hosting when the application is correctly adapted to the optimal cloud resource consumption at the architectural level. Note: Re-architecting of legacy applications to make them cloud-native is not always technically and economically feasible.

Your Cloud Implementation Right On the First Try!
