Nexant, now part of Resource Innovations, is a globally recognized software, consulting, and services company that has been providing electric power grid and alternative energy services since the early 2000s. Nexant’s exclusive focus on energy efficiency and state-of-the-art technology has positioned the company as one of the best energy solutions providers in the world. The company was determined to retain its strong position in the industry by modernizing and migrating its IT infrastructure to the cloud, to accelerate development and release cycles, eliminate unnecessary heavy lifting from the application delivery process, and scale the entire business ecosystem.
Nexant, a globally recognized software, consulting, and services company, was facing challenges with its on-premises IT infrastructure. As part of a multiyear turnaround effort, the company sought to transform its IT infrastructure and migrate its operations to the cloud. The goal was to enable faster iterations, assess, deploy, and support customer applications more efficiently, speed up development and release cycles, eliminate unnecessary heavy lifting, and scale its entire system for faster growth. However, deploying new resources and maintaining existing ones was time-consuming, slowing down the development and delivery of applications, and causing operational inefficiencies. To overcome these challenges, Nexant partnered with Provectus, an AWS Premier Consulting Partner, to reinvent its IT infrastructure and migrate it to the AWS cloud.
Provectus began by conducting a thorough review of Nexant’s enterprise solution to identify its limitations. The plan was to rework the application development process and migrate its development environments to AWS. Provectus also created and migrated new demo and QA environments for Nexant’s engineers. To speed up the deployment of customer apps to production, Provectus examined Nexant’s production environments to identify inefficiencies. As part of the cloud infrastructure modernization process, Provectus implemented best practices for CI/CD, and for other pipeline and workflow processes. AWS services such as Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, and Amazon Inspector were used to enforce better security for customer data, applications, and working environments. Finally, Provectus migrated several of Nexant’s clients to its new AWS-based cloud infrastructure.
