The collaboration between Qualogy and TeamValue

Thanks to a rock-solid collaboration between Qualogy & TeamValue, business-critical applications have become scalable and DevOps is ready for the Azure Cloud. Qualogy (market leader in Oracle & Java) and TeamValue (Microsoft Gold Partner and Azure Expert) joined forces to develop a SaaS application for municipalities. Together, they have successfully brought the various technology stacks together and citizens can now apply for permits much more easily. With this new SaaS application, Qualogy is able to release independently through One Button Deploy, including approvals and without downtime. An absolute solution for municipalities when it comes to issuing permits. This combination is just one example of how Java applications connect to the Microsoft Azure Cloud. There are still plenty of options to discover.

“Organizations want to get rid of on-premises systems that are difficult to connect and manage. They don't want downtime for business-critical applications. But on-premises Java applications are not one-two-three in the cloud”.

The Value

Thanks to our experience and partnership with Microsoft, we have a great deal of insight into the Azure roadmap. We also know how to make cloud technology work for us. Add to that our Golden Path principles and you're working towards a future-proof IT solution that has also been successful for years at Allego, KPMG and AkzoNobel, among others. The business value of the SaaS application comes first, the technology supports it. This puts the user at the center. A user portal for citizens was not yet available based on the self-service principle. This is also now completely in the cloud. We opted for a complete SaaS/PaaS architecture based on micro-services, so that we can automatically scale up to other European regions. Security, quality, cost management and resilience are guaranteed. The application never goes offline.

“From various Proof of Values that were proven each time by the Qualogy development team in Azure, we slowly worked towards a complete Azure Target Architecture according to the Golden Path principles. I joined this team whose primary task is to fully set up, implement and implement the One-Button-Deploy CI/CD ISO9001/ISO27001 and teach the Qualogy Operations Team to participate in a DevOps setup”.

The Team

Qualogy asked if we could support with consultancy in the areas of Microsoft Azure and Modern Service Management. But it wasn't just IT. The value of BizDevOps, our vision for Agile working, has more than proven itself. Thanks to the rock-solid cooperation, business-critical applications are scalable and DevOps ready to the Azure Cloud. We will also serve the market together as a strategic partner and make even more customers happy with our knowledge of bringing the technological platforms together. The switch from on-premise to the cloud requires hybrid collaboration, breaking old patterns and making use of each other's knowledge within different tech stacks. For example, we've integrated BitBucket, Jira, Jenkins with Azure DevOps. In doing so, TeamValue uses best practices and the Golden Path. Our answer is to implement BizDevOps properly. We bring your message to business and IT. Our way of working consists of a standard method that is transparent, measurable and Agile throughout the process. We get more out of your DevOps teams and are predictable in delivering Value. Together, we prove that Java applications can easily be transferred to the Azure platform in synergy.

“TeamValue helped us in the transition to the Azure Cloud. With the help of Hendrik and Anton, we managed to implement this way of working and achieve the final result: a standardized, scalable and maintainable platform that meets all security and ISO standards.”

Qualogy & TeamValue

IT service providers Qualogy from Rijswijk and TeamValue from Zwolle have entered into a unique partnership. In each other, we found a good, critical and equal partner that bridges the gap between the business and IT. Digital Business, Human Results. The quality of the architecture is a given, but the transition and adoption are people's work. For example, the Qualogy Ops team is now included in all principles, Azure certifications and is directly involved in the new way of working. We bridge the gap between business and IT.

“It is remarkable how both organizations have managed to bring each other to an even higher level. This is certainly due to the team's cultural fit and drive to make it a success. Fantastic to see how this has now resulted in a partnership and how we serve the market together in the areas of Oracle/Java and the Azure Cloud”.
