Synopsis
Over the years of HP's operations across multiple business segments and countries, they have been several applications built to support growing & changing business needs. These applications evolved as monoliths slowing down the ability of organization to introduce change or pivot to new business models. The digital transformation initiative was kicked off within HP and was geared to improve agility, speed of innovation, reduce costs and improved operation efficiency.
HP Microservices Acceleration Platform (HPMAP) evolved out of the digital transformation initiative and was built in 3 months. The platform reduced microservice development effort by 12 weeks for each team. Automation reduced development effort by 20%, time to market improved by 25% & operational efficiency improved 20%.
