Critical Improvements Needed to Gain Additional Market Share

Prior to taking the company public, this leading automotive eCommerce site needed to make major improvements to its platform. They initially needed to speed up their development operation and improve their SEO, which would drive gains in market share. After completing this initial redesign and going public, they were looking to fully revamp their outdated architecture and move from on-premise to the Cloud (AWS). The new architecture needed to allow for third-party integrations, which were critical for the company to make acquisitions. Simultaneously, they needed to ensure that their legacy platform was properly maintained.
