Background
Highclere International Investors wanted to improve on their Excel based system by building a centralised web app for their data and reports to enhance decision-making and increase efficiency across the firm. It had the coding credentials to build the application, but it didn’t have the inhouse security expertise or resources to deploy the appropriate cloud infrastructure to host the web app securely.
Solution
Lanware created the infrastructure in Highclere’s existing Azure environment to run a proof of concept in a production environment and carried out robust testing to ensure the app service had been configured correctly. Lanware also made the app secure to ensure the right users had access to the data and provided an agile tool so the app could be updated quickly when needed. The project time was rapid with Lanware creating the infrastructure, secure environment and right level of access in just 4 days.
“As we don’t have the dedicated security and infrastructure resources, we needed a specialist to support us as we build our own apps in-house. Lanware is that expert and has given us the confidence to develop further. We now have an innovative and secure app working across the business, accessible only to the right users.”
