Challenge

In connection with the development of the Baseline™ application, the company faced the challenge of ensuring high availability and scalability of its IT platform. The challenge was not only the growing number of customers but also the development of the application itself, which, following the needs of the business, required an increasingly flexible IT environment, necessary for testing and implementing new solutions. In addition, the company attaches great importance to a high level of data and application security to meet legal requirements and respond to high customer expectations.

Providing these factors in a traditional IT infrastructure model can be costly and time-consuming, and limits the ability to quickly scale resources according to business needs. To focus on developing the Baseline™ platform, handling incoming orders, and its core business, the company set out to find a modern and flexible IT solution to address the previously mentioned challenges. The solution had to meet several standards and norms, and Baseline was looking for a reliable partner for a long-term partnership. The company began its search for a cloud provider.

Solution

To meet the challenges of the rapid growth of Baseline™ applications, the growing number of customers, and the increasing demand for flexibility in the IT environment, Baseline made the strategic decision to use the Polcom Cloud service. The fact that Polcom offers services based on two independent and redundant data centers was particularly important when the decision to cooperate was made. Thanks to the introduction of this solution, the risk of data loss or interruption of the company’s business continuity in the event of unforeseen events was significantly reduced. The company has gained a guarantee of high platform availability, which is essential to ensure the continuity of the company’s operations, as well as virtually unlimited scalability of resources, which allows the IT infrastructure to be quickly and efficiently adapted to current business needs and the development of Baseline™ applications.

In addition, Polcom guarantees a high level of data and application security, meeting strict legal and data protection requirements. The centers are certified following ISO 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 9001, which guarantees a high quality of service. For this reason, the company can be sure that the end customer will receive a comprehensive, fully secure, and modern solution that meets all its expectations and requirements. Choosing Polcom as a cooperation partner enables Baseline to focus on innovation in the Baseline™ application and its core business, without worrying about IT infrastructure and data security.
