Use Case
Ab Initio Centre Of Excellence
Consultants build solutions. But when they leave without sufficient knowledge transfer, your team is left holding a system they don’t fully understand. Deus Duck bridges that gap by building a Centre of Excellence (CoE) that empowers your employees to take ownership of the applications, enhancements, and critical roles previously handled by the consulting team.
Case Study
Empowering Your Teams to Own Their Solutions
Become an Expert
The client faced a critical knowledge gap:
Insufficient knowledge transfer from the original Ab Initio consultants left internal teams unable to take over the solution.
Our CoE approach gave employees a deep understanding of the application’s architecture, functionality, and maintenance requirements, transforming them from dependent operators into confident owners.
Enhance Your Applications Effectively
When the client moved from a POC handling billions of records to full production, run times became completely unacceptable. Neither the development nor the production team knew how to examine execution logs or analyze run performance.
Deus Duck reviewed all existing systems, identified common design patterns, established optimal implementation techniques, defined uniform documentation standards, and created comprehensive runbooks.
The Result
60 minutes of analysis and 90 minutes of targeted optimization cut production time by tenfold.
Perform Critical Roles
We established internal roles that were previously carried out by external consultants during development. Using detailed matrices for all datasets, the client gained full visibility into which applications use which datasets, when datasets are altered and by which applications, and backup and recovery procedures for every dataset.
Long-Term Sustainability
Deus Duck ensures long-term sustainability, scalability, and adaptation of the solution to meet evolving business needs. The CoE artifacts become embedded in the design review process for all future development and maintenance, decreasing costs, reducing vulnerability to change, and eliminating dependence on external expertise.
