Platform Engineering at the Speed of Business

Digital transformation is here to stay. If you’re not moving to the cloud or planning to upgrade your legacy applications, you may soon find your business at a competitive disadvantage and failing to keep pace with today's increasingly accelerated marketplace.

As your enterprise continues to scale and grow digital technologies, you will likely face common challenges that impede success including:

  • Scaling to accommodate multiple locations, system implementations or versions, and higher volumes of transactions and users.
  • Enhancing software developers' workflows and reducing the cognitive load to improve developer productivity within platform engineering teams.
  • Tailoring systems or developing custom applications to optimize business processes and operational performance.
  • Ensuring workload mobility for high availability or offline/disconnected operability and reducing system downtime for highly transactional systems during upgrades.
  • Providing data integration across systems and applications to enable better-informed, role-based decision making that drives greater business agility and resilience.

CTG's platform engineering solution, FoundationOne™, addresses these challenges. Early adopters of platform engineering solutions are experiencing:

  • 30-50% reduction in migration/development time1
  • Up to 60% decrease in time to value1
  • 40% or more savings on technology spending1

What Is Platform Engineering?

"Platform engineering is an emerging technology approach that can accelerate the delivery of applications and the pace at which they produce business value.

Platform engineering improves developer experience and productivity by providing
self-service capabilities with automated infrastructure operations."

—Gartner®2

Delivering DevSecOps as a Service

Through our FoundationOne™ framework, CTG allows enterprises to shift to a modern and agile DevSecOps culture without making all the internal investments needed to get there.

We address the key software infrastructure and data management challenges that come with digital transformation by leveraging all the tools necessary to build, test, deploy, manage, and modernize applications for the cloud. We create a consistent management environment for hybrid cloud, multi-cloud, on-premise, and edge-architecture with hardware provisioning.

CTG's proprietary FoundationOne™ solution leverages three core components:

  • Checkmark

    Development

    Leading tools and agile methodologies for rapid development and migration of legacy applications to a cloud-enabled microservices implementation

  • Checkmark

    Runtime Systems

    Designed for enterprise-level implementations at regional, national, or international levels

  • Checkmark

    Deployment

    Infrastructure as Code (IaC) using native cloud techniques

What are Microservices?

Microservices are a software architecture approach that breaks down an application into a collection of small, independent, and loosely coupled services that are developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

Each microservice is responsible for a specific function and communicates with other services through a software architecture pattern.
