As Chambers and Partners, a prestigious legal services research company, was rapidly moving towards a new level of digitalization, they sought a reliable technology partner to modernize their existing technology solutions. Their goal was to embrace agile transformation and adopt a microservices-based architecture for a data-led platform to improve the customer experience, upgrade their offering and services, and keep leading positions in the competitive market.<\/p>\n
The research company provides detailed rankings and unique insights into complex areas of law, operating across 200 jurisdictions and empowering organizations to make data-based decisions when searching for legal services. Conducting tens of thousands of interviews with accountants, counsels, and barristers yearly, our client needed an up-to-date and comprehensive data-led platform to manage their research processes and provide timely services to end customers. They had a clear vision of the digital strategy and turned to Intellias, a trusted technology partner and digital transformation enabler, to implement their plans.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Chambers and Partners reached a point when their company\u2019s level of digital transformation was not sufficient to move up the value chain of delivering service to end customers. Together with insufficient methods of data collection and processing, their legacy solutions didn\u2019t meet growing consumer demand and current business needs. Intellias stepped in to help our client get to a new stage of digitalization.<\/p>\n
Cooperating tightly with our client\u2019s experts, we automated data-driven processes, defined new offerings, and extended the company\u2019s scalability. We\u2019re now working on several strategic projects and covering two main streams \u2014 agile transformation and monolithic to microservices migration<\/a> \u2014 along with implementing new features.<\/p>\n We started with setting up software development life cycle (SDLC) processes and an Agile methodology to help Chambers and Partners become more flexible. An Intellias Scrum master ensured the effectiveness of teams, established clear and concise Agile practices, and facilitated cross-functional collaboration.<\/p>\n One of our main tasks was to assemble independent Agile teams that would be autonomous in decision-making and motivated to take both initiative and responsibility. We consulted our client on how to eliminate cross-team dependencies, moving from a vertical to a horizontal organizational structure. By removing the top-to-bottom hierarchy, we encouraged teams to define and build their own processes, thus strengthening the entire organization.<\/p>\n We assisted Chambers and Partners in realizing their digital strategy, which included creating new technical features and implementing them into their data-led platform. The existing solution was an outdated monolith that needed to be transitioned to a microservices architecture to become more deployable and scalable.<\/p>\nAgile transformation<\/h3>\n
