Problem
The Challenge
- Migrate the website from data centers to the cloud
- Transfer millions of users and 600+ endpoints
- Prove composability, a new concept to stakeholders, through multiple proofs of concept
- Cut infrastructure and licensing costs that absorbed a significant share of the budget
- Meet healthcare and infosec compliance in full
- Zero disruption to the user experience or revenue
Implementation
What We Built
As Tivity Health’s chosen development partner, BaseMonkeys handled the implementation, working with Uniform’s composable digital experience platform (DXP) and Tivity Health’s in-house strategists.
- 01
Proofs of concept that won the decision
Delivered multiple end-to-end proofs of concept, each measurably faster with Uniform as the orchestration and presentation layer, which made the case for a composable architecture.
- 02
One layer for front end and APIs
Unified the front end and the API layer through Uniform, keeping backward compatibility so downstream systems were not disrupted.
- 03
Endpoints reconnected and rewritten
Reconnected 500 endpoints and rewrote 124 to move off the data center.
- 04
Cloud-native migration
Moved millions of users to a fully cloud-native platform on a tight timeline.
- 05
Compliance by design
Met infosec, regulatory, and contractual requirements through detailed preparation and preemptive compliance work.
Evidence
The Evidence
Measured in revenue, not activity.
Results as published by Uniform in its case study “Tivity Health: Cloud migration with a composable DXP” (uniform.dev), which names BaseMonkeys as the development partner that executed the migration.
- 12x fastersite than its predecessor
- 1/8th the costfinal implementation and operating costs versus the next lowest vendor
- Millions in annual savingsfrom replacing the infrastructure and associated licensing
- Under a yearto return on the new composable system and cloud migration
- From ~45 days to hoursfor website changes
- No interruptionto a system supporting 2,000 transactions per second
- Zero business-impacting defectsat launch
Outcome
The Outcome
- Marketing at the speed of the businessMarketers push changes live in minutes, not weeks, which frees developers to build new capabilities.
- Freedom to choose best-fit technologyA composable architecture that supports low-code upgrades without another replatform.
- Faster launchesThe means to launch new products faster, with marketers empowered to generate new revenue in shorter time frames.
