Get to know the client & their business challenges

Our client is a prominent American company that specializes in providing rent-to-own services for essential items such as furniture, appliances, and electronics. To cater to their customers’ needs, they have implemented a leasing application that supports rent-to-own services across both online and offline stores.

The client team aimed to modernize their leasing application by migrating from on-premises infrastructure to cloud platforms. The legacy data platforms posed limitations in terms of scaling and accommodating flexible data loads, inhibiting rapid scalability.

Furthermore, the on-premises infrastructure restricted frequent deployments and upgrades, requiring third-party vendor intervention for any changes. Hence, the client sought a dynamic environment capable of auto-scaling to efficiently handle fluctuating user traffic.
