BACKGROUND

Please describe your company and your position there.

I'm the CTO of BBH Stockholm the leading growth acceleration consultancy firm in Sweden, and the creator of E-Brain; an e-commerce platform allowing for innovation.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

For what projects/services did your company hire Triangu?

BBH Stockholm worked with Panini Internazionale on the digiphysical ecom project E-BRain, where Triangu provided DevOps consulting services (AWS, Terraform, Jenkins, Github, Vault by HashiCorp).

What were your goals for this project?

The goal of the project was to build a human centric platform allowing Panini to serve their customer in a more contextual and convenient matter and to build loyalty by saving time for their customers. To reach this goal, BBH Stockholm decided to launch the flexible e-commerce platform eBrain.

This Platform-as-a-Service solution allows any store or merchandiser to make its own branded application and use data-driven marketing, data intelligence systems, and other innovative features. To achieve these ambitious goals, BBH Stockholm partnered with Triangu to make the PaaS solution for building e-commerce apps with the above-mentioned data intelligence and customization features.

The first priority was making the platform robust enough to serve a large number of users and be easily scalable. BBH Stockholm also wanted to safeguard their intellectual rights on these specially developed features and ensure that the codebase of the platform data management systems could not be co-opted by competitors.

Remote collaboration is always hard but creating a close and transparent communication within a tight constant team has been the key success factor in this project.
