We’re a Norwegian SaaS company that provides certification services for companies. Our service is used when companies need to provide evidence to an auditor or comply with regulations.It is especially useful for companies with suppliers in the supply chain and allows companies to distribute forms and requests to suppliers to collect compliance data. **OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE** What challenge were you trying to address with Palark?When we started the company, we were only two people, and I was handling the DevOps infrastructure and operations of the solution. This was overwhelming, and we weren’t professional. We were looking for DevOps as a service provider. **SOLUTION** What was the scope of their involvement?Palark provides both DevOps and IT services. We already have a development team in Poland, and I don’t want them to worry about DevOps, build pipelines, deployment, infrastructure, or security. I just want them to write code and push it. My idea was to find a provider that would help us with all the other stuff, and Palark has managed to do that.They've helped us with security. We got our ISO certification last year and spent another year before that preparing and implementing all the controls required for ISO 27000. Palark helped us a lot during that process. We needed to implement the controls in the DevOps pipelines, infrastructure, and cloud, and they’ve done that.What is the team composition?I’ve been in contact with the founder and the project manager. I’m also in contact with the team leads.How did you come to work with Palark?I found them through a Google search. I looked at their website, which has quite detailed information about the services they provide. I created a list of requirements for managing infrastructure and security. Then, we evaluated different providers, both Norwegian and international. From that process, we ended up with a contract with Palark. We were convinced by the services they provided and the price they indicated.How much have you invested with them?We’ve spent between €200,000–€1 millionWhat is the status of this engagement?We started working together in May 2022, and the engagement is ongoing. **RESULTS & FEEDBACK** What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?Palark has helped us pass the ISO 27000 certification and reduce costs. We’ve moved from Azure-managed services to cloud-native services, and they have a great setup to monitor capacity and reduce resources. We’ve saved around 40% of our cloud costs.Additionally, we have 24/7 monitoring for the services, and the team responds right away and escalates issues. Our availability is now 99.9%, and we don’t have any major accidents anymore.How did Palark perform from a project management standpoint?They’ve been great. They have a very transparent ticket system. We always meet weekly to plan their everyday activities. They meet deadlines and are very transparent.

We have a separate channel, and I have contact with their engineers through Slack as well.What did you find most impressive about them?I didn’t expect them to help us with security. Usually, companies ask for more money for that. I’m amazed that they’re not greedy. They don’t try to bleed us dry. They’re also very flexible when it comes to measuring capacity. They helped us pass the ISO certification, and they were present during the audit. That was the most surprising.Are there any areas they could improve?No, there aren’t any.Do you have any advice for potential customers?Trust them and listen to what they suggest. --- #### Cloud Consulting & SI for Market Research Company **The Project** - Services: Cloud Consulting & SI, DevOps Managed Services, IT Managed Services - Project size: Confidential - Project length: Oct. 2024 - Ongoing **Project Summary**: Palark conducts an infrastructure audit for a market research company.
