Grape Up consultants were embedded directly into the customer’s existing cross-functional teams, forming a unified agile unit under the SAFe (Scaled Agile Framework) model.

This close collaboration didn’t just deliver the final solution – it included pair-programming sessions where Grape Up and the client’s employees worked side-by-side to stand up the production environment, explore its inner workings, and learn best practices for day-to-day use and scaling.

The joint team focused on preparing the platform for enterprise use by establishing a secure production environment tailored to the needs of data analysts while keeping development activities separated. Alongside enhancing the platform’s functionality and expanding its capabilities, Grape Up also supported day-to-day operations and maintenance. Their involvement ensured continuous progress, stable performance, and effective knowledge transfer, helping the internal team sustain and grow the platform beyond the scope of the project.

The new Kubernetes-based data platform has become a strategic linchpin for the company, offering easy management of internal tenants, applications, and their versions, and tighter cost control.

It now empowers teams across the organization to make faster, insight-driven decisions by providing a reliable, secure environment where data analysts can seamlessly access, explore, and leverage critical data to support product development, innovation initiatives, and long-term business planning.

Grape Up’s involvement ensured smooth execution, ongoing platform stability, and effective knowledge transfer to internal teams. The result is a scalable, future-ready solution that not only supports current business needs but also lays the foundation for continuous growth and innovation.
