Manageo

1. Introduction

• DSI Conseil & Services: Founded in [year of establishment], DSI Conseil & Services specializes in digital transformation for businesses. With expertise in developing custom solutions and implementing complex architectures, our goal is to maximize value for our clients through technological innovations.
• BeWeb & Manageo: BeWeb is a Moroccan company specializing in software solutions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Their flagship product, Manageo, is a comprehensive ERP that covers the needs of SMEs in accounting, inventory management, human resources, and more. However, as their user base grew, BeWeb faced new technical challenges that required a transition to the cloud to ensure the solution's sustainability.

2. Project Objectives

• Cloud Migration (Move to Cloud): One of BeWeb's main challenges was maintaining a physical infrastructure capable of supporting rapid growth. DSI Conseil & Services proposed migrating Manageo to a modern cloud infrastructure to:
• Enhance scalability (easily support a growing number of users).
• Reduce costs related to physical infrastructure (server maintenance, upgrades).
• Ensure high availability and enhanced data security.
• Improve flexibility to allow more frequent updates without service interruption.
• Redefining Architecture with PAAS: The goal was to redesign Manageo's architecture to adapt to a cloud infrastructure based on PAAS (Platform as a Service) components. This allowed BeWeb to focus more on product development while outsourcing the management of servers, databases, and other critical services.

3. Approach and Methodology

• Complete Project Team: DSI Conseil & Services provided a multidisciplinary team for this project:
• Cloud Architects: Responsible for designing the new cloud architecture, with a focus on modularity and security.
• Developers: Tasked with adapting Manageo's existing components to function efficiently in the cloud environment.
• UX/UI Designers: Collaborated with BeWeb to ensure that the user interface remained intuitive despite the underlying changes.
• Project Manager: Supervised the entire migration process, ensuring the timeline was met and all stakeholders were aligned.
• Project Phases:
• Planning Phase: Workshops with BeWeb's team to understand specific needs, assess the existing infrastructure, and define project KPIs.
• Architecture Design: Development of the new architecture based on PAAS services, including integration with cloud services such as storage, authentication, and databases.
• Development and Testing: Adapting Manageo's components, setting up test environments, and performing load tests to validate scalability.
• Migration and Deployment: Gradual migration of users from the local infrastructure to the cloud without service interruption.

4. Component Development and New Architecture

• Developed Components:
• User Management Module: Revamped the authentication system to use a PAAS authentication service.
• Data Storage: Migrated databases to a cloud database service, ensuring high availability and automatic backups.
• Update Management: Implemented a continuous deployment (CI/CD) system to allow frequent updates without service interruptions.
• New PAAS Architecture:
• Modularity: The architecture was designed so that each Manageo module (accounting, HR, inventory, etc.) could be managed independently, facilitating updates.
• Security: Utilized PAAS security services for data encryption and access management.
• Scalability: The cloud architecture allows for automatic scaling based on resource demands, ensuring optimal performance even during high traffic periods.

5. Results and Benefits

• Improved Performance: Thanks to the cloud migration, Manageo experienced a significant reduction in response times, enhancing the user experience for thousands of simultaneous users.
• Cost Reduction: BeWeb reduced its operational costs related to physical infrastructure, avoiding costly investments in server hardware and focusing on product development.
• Increased Flexibility: The new PAAS architecture allows BeWeb to deploy frequent updates without disrupting users, improving customer satisfaction.

6. Conclusion

• Summary of Achievements: The cloud migration project enabled BeWeb to ensure the sustainability of Manageo, while reducing costs and increasing user satisfaction. Collaboration with DSI Conseil & Services helped overcome complex technical challenges in record time.
• Future Outlook: BeWeb plans to expand Manageo to new markets, and the new cloud architecture will easily support this expansion.
