Cloud solution for the heat recovery unit

Benefits for the customer and end-users: 

• The customer has a better knowledge of the software product.
• Reduction of cloud usage costs for the customer.
• Acceleration of the application for its end users (especially for service technicians).

Project summary

• Taking over the know-how of responsibility for the technical solution.
• Design, implementation and validation of a new environment for running the cloud.
• Managing the collaboration between all parties running the previous and new solution.

Jablotron Living Technology manufactures equipment for more comfortable living - heat recovery systems, boilers and more. These devices are now connected via the internet to the cloud. The user can easily monitor and control them remotely using a mobile phone app or through the web. The cloud runs in the background of the entire solution, with which the individual devices and user applications communicate.

Edhouse's role at JLT was primarily to migrate the cloud solution to another platform. The reason for the migration was the need for financial savings in the long term. Until then, the customer had been paying to operate in a SaaS format and had minimal knowledge of the technical solution. During the project, our development team became part of the customer's product development team and helped pick up the missing know-how. An on-premise solution was chosen using the knowledge of the in-house team. We designed, implemented and validated a new platform to run the cloud as well as to build and deploy the applications. During this process, minor bugs were also discovered and fixed. Throughout the project, we needed to manage the collaboration between the development team and the teams running the previous solution. The subsequent migration of operations went smoothly with minimal disruption to users. The customer now has lower costs for running the cloud and has more know-how about the software. A side (expected) positive effect of the cloud migration was the increased speed of cloud communication, which was appreciated by the end users.
