Challenge
- PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
- Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
- Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows
Aristotle needed a comprehensive modernization of its technology stack, including:
- UI enhancements
- Migration to microservices
- Upgrades to charts, templates, and legacy components
- Overall tech-stack uplift
The company also required developers strictly from the European Union for geographic and operational convenience.
Budget constraints limited traditional hiring, and an immediate, high-quality engineering ramp-up was necessary to keep development timelines on track.
Key Objectives
- Upgrade the existing GovTech product stack
- Switch from monolithic architecture to microservices
- Modernize UI components, email templates, and charts
- Ensure developer sourcing from the EU
- Scale engineering capacity quickly and cost-effectively
- Reduce deployment time with minimal delivery friction
Solution
A bespoke engineering team was deployed to work directly with Aristotle’s internal leadership.
- Full-stack developers were sourced from the EU to meet operational requirements
- Elastic staffing enabled the team to scale up or down as needed
- Modernization efforts upgraded UI components, templates, and performance layers
- Microservices migration improved modularity, resilience, and scalability
- Zero upfront recruitment cost reduced financial burden
- Accelerated onboarding enabled a 90% reduction in deployment time, with the team assembled within two days
- Continuous collaboration ensured seamless integration with Aristotle’s internal workflows
This direct-engagement model allowed Aristotle to modernize its platform rapidly, without middlemen or delays.
Results
- PCI DSS certification and FCA approval, ensuring full regulatory compliance
- Ultra-low latency transactions under 250 milliseconds, delivering a seamless user experience.
- Successful integration of multiple third-party APIs, including GPS, Xero, and CashFlows
- 2X faster tech-stack upgrades across the platform
- Enhanced UI and improved product performance
- Elastic team expansion, with 3X additions over the lifecycle
- Zero upfront recruitment costs
- Faster releases and improved feature velocity
Aristotle gained an engineering engine capable of supporting continuous modernization and future GovTech innovation
