Broadcom Partners with Techwards to Revamp Its Platform for Scalability and Performance
Broadcom, a global technology leader, sought to enhance its Symantec CASB product, a cloud security solution that scans and evaluates data sensitivity against compliance standards like HIPAA. With its existing technology stack reaching its end-of-life, Broadcom partnered with Techwards to modernize the platform and ensure scalability, performance, and seamless integration.
Problem Statement
The CASB product was built on an end-of-life framework that hindered scalability and performance. Broadcom needed to migrate the platform to a modern framework, requiring a complete rewrite from the ground up. This included designing a new architecture, developing reusable components like buttons, sidebars, and navigation bars, and ensuring compatibility with existing functionalities. The primary challenge was the sheer scale of the migration, compounded by the need for deep domain expertise to rewrite critical modules such as the audit functionality. The legacy system, developed over several years, added to the complexity of the task.
Solution
Techwards provided a structured and efficient modernization strategy, completing 80% of the critical audit module and implementing a hybrid configuration for smooth operation during the transition. Key solutions included:
- Designing the basic architecture and foundational structure for the platform.
- Developing reusable components from scratch for consistency across the application.
- Rewriting multiple pages of the audit module.
- Implementing a hybrid configuration to ensure seamless functionality, allowing the application to operate efficiently during the transition.
- Iterative problem-solving to address challenges and deliver a robust solution.
Outcome
Over a two-year collaboration, Techwards played a pivotal role in Playroom’s development, from engineering and Discord integration to providing ongoing support. The seamless Discord integration significantly enhanced user engagement and broadened Playroom’s audience. The Playroom Dev Portal facilitated ease of use, and PlayroomKit empowered developers to integrate multiplayer features into their games. The successful monetization integration opened new revenue streams, positioning Playroom as a leader in AI-driven casual gaming and multiplayer game development.
