CASE STUDY: Gateway Automation for Leading Telecoms Company

Our client, a leading telecoms organisation had a resource-intensive development and delivery process for Gateway configuration change:

• No automation
• 6 files required to be updated for every single change
• Gateway development could only be performed by few resources who were trained

• Fiddly, non user-friendly development prone to errors
• Large effort required for development, code review and merging
• 300 days effort per year on Gateway changes

We built an application to automate gateway development. See detailed diagram below.
