Growth in the Vix customer base is driving automation in the establishment, deployment and reliable operation of the Vix technology platform and IoT device fleet.
Vix Technology is a global leader in automatic fare collection, transit information and transit analytics solutions. For over 35 years, their experts have been helping to shape the way transport moves and evolves.
Vix Technology approached JourneyOne to assist them in scaling AWS DevOps capability to meet demand from growth projects.
With imminent deployments necessary to support new customers, JourneyOne’s Cloud Ascent team collaborated with key software development stakeholders at Vix Technology to understand the scaling challenges and current configuration. The impact of a recent organisational restructure added complexity to the solution options considered, requiring segregation of device management and associated workloads.
JourneyOne proposed a pragmatic plan to configure a new, minimal multi-account operating platform for Vix Technology’s devices business. This enabled Vix Technology to meet immediate growth-driven demand whilst providing for subsequent evolution. The IoT device fleet and associated device management workloads were then migrated and/or reconfigured for the new operating platform.
To support growth and sustainable operations, JourneyOne advised and supported Vix Technology to capture their workload configuration. This ‘infrastructure as code’ was then used to automate deployments. The capability to repeatably and consistently deploy environments delivered immediate benefit, improving software quality and reducing deployment failure rates. It also enabled key personnel to focus on higher value activities.
The broad set of activities, from platform implementation and workload/device migration to deployment automation, required JourneyOne to demonstrate skills with a broad set of AWS deployment services (e.g. CDK, CloudFormation and Code*), platform management services (e.g. IAM and CloudWatch), device management services (e.g. IoT Core) and application services (e.g. API Gateway, Lambda etc.).
"It has been a privilege to be part of the Vix Technology journey, assisting them to scale their AWS DevOps capability as they roll out their innovative IoT technology to the customers globally." — Todd Melville, JourneyOne Basecamp Leader
