Relying on outdated technology created inefficiencies in communication, hindered customer experiences, and slowed digital transformation efforts. This technological gap made it difficult for the company to scale its operations, maintain partnerships, and sustain its position as an industry leader. To overcome these obstacles, the client required a robust and scalable integration framework to optimize external collaborations and enable strategic growth
