Client Case Study: Performance and Scalability Analysis, Improvements
Our new client's customer was incensed with the performance and scalability of client's J2EE application running on Weblogic. The customer was threatening to not only discontinue contract, but to sue for breach of contract. In many ways, at any time of the year, such an event would have crippled our client but this was just before peak season.

Significant improvements demanded within 6 weeks:

  • Drastic Response Time Reduction
  • Order of Magnitude Scalability Improvement
