Business Problem
Legacy infrastructure was causing operational inefficiencies and limiting scalability across critical supply chain systems.
Discovery
A six-week discovery phase mapped existing infrastructure, identified 23 critical integration points, and assessed cloud readiness across four business units. Stakeholder workshops established migration priorities and downtime constraints.
Solution
Containerised microservices architecture on AWS with ECS Fargate, RDS PostgreSQL for transactional data, and S3 for document storage. Infrastructure managed via Terraform with GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines and CloudWatch monitoring.
Delivery Process
- Sprint-based delivery with fortnightly stakeholder demos
- Automated integration and load testing in staging environment
- Blue-green deployment strategy for zero-downtime migration
- Post-migration performance validation and optimisation
Phases
- Assessment
- Architecture
- Migration
- Deployment
- Validation
Key Results
- Modern scalable cloud platform
- Improved deployment efficiency
- Better operational resilience
Business Impact
- 40% reduction in deployment time across supply chain systems
- £180K annual savings from decommissioned legacy infrastructure
- 99.95% uptime achieved in first six months post-migration
“Mindshift delivered our cloud migration with exceptional discipline. Their team documented every architectural decision and maintained transparent communication throughout a complex nine-month programme.”

Business Problem
Manual approval processes and disconnected internal systems created administrative overhead and limited process visibility.
Discovery
Business analysis across three departments identified 14 distinct approval workflows with an average processing time of 12 days. User interviews and process mapping revealed duplication across CRM, finance, and compliance systems.
Solution
Centralised workflow platform with React frontend, Node.js API layer, and PostgreSQL database. Event-driven architecture with Azure Service Bus for async processing, OAuth 2.0 authentication, and granular role-based permissions.
Delivery Process
- Domain-driven design workshops with business analysts
- API-first development with OpenAPI specification
- Progressive rollout by department with parallel running period
- User acceptance testing with compliance team sign-off

- Improved process visibility
Business Impact
- 65% reduction in average approval processing time
- Elimination of 3 redundant manual tracking spreadsheets
- Full audit trail enabling regulatory compliance reporting
“The workflow platform transformed how our teams manage approvals. Mindshift understood our compliance requirements from day one and built a system our auditors were comfortable reviewing.”

Business Problem
Ageing infrastructure and inconsistent system performance were affecting reliability and increasing operational burden.
Discovery
Comprehensive infrastructure audit across 12 servers and 8 applications revealed single points of failure, manual deployment processes, and no centralised monitoring. Cloud readiness assessment confirmed Azure as the optimal migration target.
Solution
Azure-based infrastructure with Docker containerisation, Terraform IaC, GitHub Actions CI/CD, and NGINX reverse proxy. Centralised logging via Azure Monitor with automated alerting and documented runbooks for incident response.
Delivery Process
- Phased migration with rollback procedures at each stage
- Infrastructure testing in isolated Azure subscription
- Parallel running of legacy and new systems for validation
- Knowledge transfer sessions with internal IT team
Phases
- Audit
- Planning
- Implementation
- CI/CD
- Handover
Key Results
- Improved reliability
- Streamlined deployment
- Better long-term maintainability
Business Impact
- Deployment frequency increased from monthly to weekly releases
- Mean time to recovery reduced from 4 hours to 25 minutes
- Infrastructure costs reduced by 28% through right-sizing
“What distinguishes Mindshift is their willingness to take long-term ownership. Six months after handover, they remain our infrastructure partner and continue to improve the systems they built.”
