Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Sthenos Technologies began by conducting a detailed assessment of our cloud workloads and configurations. They analyzed our cost patterns, performance metrics, and deployment strategies. Based on their findings, they designed an optimized architecture with load balancing, automated scaling, and monitoring systems using AWS CloudWatch and Terraform. Their team restructured our databases to support better query efficiency and configured a new CI/CD process that drastically reduced deployment times. The project deliverables included a full infrastructure optimization report, cost reduction plan, automation scripts, and post-implementation documentation. They also trained our internal DevOps team to maintain and monitor the new system effectively.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

Within the first quarter, our cloud spend dropped by 30%, and system performance improved by roughly 40%. Deployment times decreased from 15 minutes to under 5, and we experienced fewer production incidents. The new monitoring setup helped us detect and resolve potential issues before they affected end users.

Their team demonstrated a rare blend of technical expertise and business insight, always ensuring that each change directly benefited our operational goals.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Sthenos Technologies could have done differently?

The only thing I would have appreciated was a more detailed visual dashboard of cost trends after optimization. However, this didn’t affect the project’s success.

• We reached out to Sthenos Technologies because our internal project tracking tools just weren’t cutting it anymore. Managing multiple infrastructure projects across teams was getting messy.

The goal was to make our process more efficient, reduce delays, and get rid of the constant back-and-forth emails that slowed down decisions.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Sthenos started by learning how our teams actually work day-to-day. Then they designed a custom project management platform that fits our workflow perfectly. They built modules for progress tracking, budget monitoring, and document sharing. The software also sends real-time alerts when tasks fall behind or budgets go off track. They integrated it with our internal systems so we didn’t have to juggle between multiple tools anymore. They handled the backend setup, frontend design, testing, and even trained a few of our project managers on how to use it efficiently.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

After rolling out the new system, we saw results almost immediately. Task completion rates went up, and communication between departments improved a lot. We were able to cut project reporting time by about 40 percent because everything’s updated automatically now. Our managers spend less time chasing data and more time making real decisions. We also noticed fewer mistakes in budget entries since the software flags inconsistencies before submission.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

They were really solid when it came to timelines. Every milestone they gave us, they met it. We had weekly check-ins, and they kept us updated on progress. Even when we made last-minute requests, they adjusted without any drama. Communication was easy and clear. They never made us feel like we were bothering them with questions. If we had a problem, they got it fixed quick.

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What I liked most is how flexible they are. A lot of software companies stick to their process and don’t really listen, but Sthenos actually took our feedback and made changes right away. They’re a mix of technical experts and problem solvers. You can tell they really care about the result. They also made something complex feel super easy to use, which says a lot about how well they understand business needs.

Are there any areas for improvement or something Sthenos Technologies could have done differently?

Not much to complain about really. Maybe the onboarding could’ve included more one-on-one training for our smaller teams, just to help everyone get used to the system faster. But overall, they did a great job. The software has made our work smoother and faster, and we’re already thinking about expanding it with more features in the next phase.
