The Challenge

Analytics-driven Growth: Empowering Development Practices with Automation

Based on the information obtained from its clients, this new platform generates graphs, metrics, and insights that inform sales and marketing processes.

The development team found the need to bring in a DevOps engineer to help them automate some processes that until then were being carried out manually, in order to bring their development practices to the next level.

The Solution

Transforming Infrastructure, Powering Effortless Development Pipelines

When the Allata team started working they found an infrastructure created with CloudFormation that needed to be fully automated.

Upon reviewing the entire stack, we began adjusting and automating the CloudFormation code to allow the deployment of the entire infrastructure in an automated way. Then, we re-created the development environment and set up proper QA and Production environments.

By implementing CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, the Allata reduced the manual processes of integration and code deployment to a minimum. Each pipeline that was implemented for the deployment of AWS lambdas in their different stages has its own set of unit tests that get executed inside containers.

This way, and by implementing QA and production environments, plus prototyping logging solutions and CloudWatch alerts, their entire development pipeline was improved.

The Results

Simplify, Streamline, Collaborate: Empowering Effortless Infrastructure Management

We managed to bring to a bare minimum the client’s manual processes for creating infrastructure, and for integrating and deploying their solution in different environments. 

We also prototyped CloudWatch alerts, solutions for logging and implemented alerts via Slack and email.

Every process was documented and handed over to the client, and we collaborated with their staff in the use and operation of this solution. 

Innovation starts with a conversation.

Commercial Real Estate Firm

Commercial Real Estate Firm Transforms IT Operations Through Structured, Measurable Application Support              

A fast-growing, commercial real estate firm overseeing more than 215 million square feet of assignments and $5.8 billion in annual transactions struggled to operationally sustain a quickly growing portfolio of custom-built applications across its complex, matrixed organization. In partnership with Allata, the firm implemented a structured three-year support framework with defined service level agreements (SLAs), automated health monitoring, and monthly quality metrics, establishing the operational foundation necessary to support sustainable enterprise growth.
State Transportation Agency

AI-Powered Data Discovery Gives State Transportation Agency a Clear Migration Path             

A state transportation agency faced a familiar challenge – critical operational data was locked inside three siloed construction management systems with no centralized platform or governance in place. Allata conducted a six-week, AI-enabled data discovery engagement on AWS managed services that focused on profiling over 550 tables to build a working proof of concept (POC) with SageMaker Unified Studio and generative AI tooling, to deliver a production-ready roadmap. The result: a validated architectural blueprint, prioritized data products, and a clear four-month path to a governed data lakehouse that positions the agency for faster migrations and smarter decisions.
A Multinational Energy Manufacturer

AI-Assisted Reports Review Reduced Manual Effort by 90%            

A multinational energy manufacturer needed a faster way to review materials test reports (MTRs), which verify supplied materials meet safety and quality requirements. Allata designed an AI-assisted review workflow inside the client’s secure ChatGPT Enterprise environment, helping the team compare purchase orders, test documents, and inspection requirements while reducing manual inspection by approximately 90 percent.
