SixPivot Cloud Native Application Development - 12-Day Proof of Concept

Business Challenge: Organisations struggle with legacy applications that create competitive disadvantages:

• Innovation bottleneck – Teams are spending excessive time maintaining legacy infrastructure instead of innovating
• Slow time to market – Manual deployment processes are delaying product releases
• Rising costs – On-premises or hybrid platforms requiring significant capital and operational investment
• Scalability limitations – Applications are unable to handle demand changes efficiently
• Technology obsolescence – Legacy apps are incompatible with modern technologies and unable to evolve with business needs
• Security and reliability gaps – Outdated platforms lacking automated disaster recovery, backups, and performance monitoring

Our Solution: Leveraging years of experience in effectively utilising the cloud for global and cost-effective application scaling, SixPivot specialises in guiding organisations towards a cloud-first approach. Our expertise extends to creating new products tailored for the cloud and developing strategies for successful migrations from on-premises or hybrid platforms. We meet you where you are on your cloud journey.

Embracing cloud-native development practices (DevOps, CD, CI), we empower developers to rapidly build scalable, agile, flexible, and resilient applications. We collaborate to identify and modernise applications using Azure's cloud-native technologies, employing the Azure Well-Architected Framework, encompassing Reliability, Security, Cost Optimisation, Operational Excellence, and Performance Efficiency.
