Solution
- Quantiphi played a pivotal role in iCAD's journey to overhaul its legacy on-premises administrative controls. Our team provided expert consultations and a complete redesign of the user interface, resulting in a vastly improved portal experience.
- One of our key achievements was transforming iCAD's data storage mechanism for configurations, making it more user-friendly and readable. Additionally, Quantiphi enabled iCAD to expand its services by establishing a solid cloud foundation. We designed and deployed a cutting-edge web application on the Google Cloud with a multi-region solution.
- This solution incorporated end-to-end automation for application deployment through Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CICD) pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC) automation for infrastructure provisioning. We delivered a comprehensive deployment procedure tailored to iCAD's requirements.
- Quantiphi also met iCAD's automation testing needs by automating test cases using Python and streamlining the test data management process. To ensure security, we secured the application's public endpoint with SSL/TLS certificates and implemented robust authentication and authorization mechanisms for user logins.
Results
- Successful deployment of a modern web application on Google Cloud with a multi-region solution.
- End-to-end automation for application deployment through CICD pipelines.
- IaC automation for infrastructure provisioning.
- Establishment of a robust cloud footprint, enabling iCAD to scale its services efficiently.
- Secure public endpoint with SSL/TLS certificates.
- Implementation of a robust authentication and authorization mechanism for user logins.
