Business Context

Application modernisation includes the migration of legacy to new applications or platforms and supports the integration of new functionality to provide the latest functions to drive business outcomes.

Application leaders, architects and development specialists need to ensure that the technology is in place to support modernisation and that strategy is underpinned with clear planning towards 5 or 10 year goals.

We have already helped our clients to:

  • Take a deeply strategic approach to application modernisation
  • Evaluate the possibilities, from re-platforming, re-hosting, recoding, re-architecting, replacing and retiring applications
  • Address security, mobility, flexibility and innovation

Manheim Auctions, a leading UK provider of products and services to the used vehicle industry, needs to provide a sound foundation to set their application strategy for the years ahead. They identified the need to replace existing systems and establish a single customer view.

About Client

Manheim Auctions is a global, family owned business and a leading UK provider of integrated products and services for the vehicle remarketing sector. Manheim connects up the vehicle remarketing chain, working closely with manufacturers, fleet operators and dealers to support the used vehicle market.

The Situation

  • Create a single customer view, to be the master data repository for different types of customers and to manage data to be consumed by other systems 
  • Deliver a web enabled Auction Manager in line with Manheim’s strategic direction
  • Develop a web application, to be rewritten with new architecture and technologies, that can create vehicle valuations based on defined parameters
  • Legacy technologies that require extensive testing in order to implement changes

The Solution

Volteo Edge Empowered a Smarter Work Environment

Volteo Edge delivered a solution that helped Intel manage regional campuses (occupancy, track & trace) with video cameras and integration with Building Management System Controls. The smart camera-based solution managed parking occupancy within parking lots, which ensured that their employees saved on time and effort – which can thus be used in more productive tasks for core business growth.  

IoT instrumentation helped them monitor power consumption (including the health of UPS equipment required for power outages), environmental conditions (e.g., temperature), and space utilization (e.g., workstation occupancy and reconciling conference room capacities with meeting headcounts). This helped the managers enable better planning, from reallocating space, reconfiguring space, and determining when and if expansions are required  

Overall, the solution helped employees save time with better experience and reduced carbon emissions. 

  • Implementing migration to Azure
  • Developing a new auction system using the latest technologies
  • Automating testing and deployment
  • Using open source libraries to ensure platform independence
