Today, every company is in the application business.
Technology dominates the business landscape. Companies that fall behind risk revenue loss and are more prone to digital disruption.
Applications have become increasingly complicated. There are more technologies and techniques for developers to master. By outsourcing application services, companies can take advantage of master developers and reduce the amount of time and resources required to manage complex apps.
Outsourcing application services is an investment in your IT team. Overworked IT departments struggle to maintain the legacy applications their companies depend on. Therefore, mission-critical work they were hired to do often falls by the wayside.
Many apps were never intended to function in cloud environments. Maintaining these apps can lead to tangled workflows and piecemeal solutions. Our holistic approach accounts for the entire enterprise and helps guide your digital transformation journey.

American Risk Services (ARS) is an insurance agency and administrator that designs, implements, and manages large and complex risk management and insurance programs for financial institutions.
Problem
The client needed a custom application to extend their product offerings and support a new business model. They did not have the existing IT staff or system infrastructure to support the application’s development. The application had to allow their customers to provide auto physical damage insurance quickly and easily on new auto loans at the time the loan was originated.
CBTS Solution
CBTS consultants developed a complete set of business and technical requirements for the application.
Using the agile approach, CBTS built a custom web-based application with the .NET Framework (C#, ASP.NET), Linq-to-SQL, MVC Architecture, Web 2.0 (AJAX), Microsoft SQL Server, and Windows Server.
Outcome
CBTS developed a user-friendly and flexible CPI system to allow for future growth. The client has extended their product offerings using the new system and can now compete for larger accounts.
The client is a world-leading jet engine manufacturer and service provider. From the turbosupercharger to the world’s most powerful commercial jet engine, our client has a long history of powering the world’s most robust and innovative aircraft capabilities.
Problem
The client wanted to improve the time to data analysis output of their engine health checks to near real-time upon a plane’s landing. CBTS was given the opportunity to cut the processing time of the digital readings down from 24 hours to 12 hours.
CBTS Solution
CBTS designed a DevOps environment that vastly improved time to data analytics and allowed for agility in continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). We monitor and manage the infrastructure end-to-end and respond 24×7 to any incidents. If there is a node impairment, Master or Worker, the environment will kill the node and rebuild it from scratch using an automation tool in the Kubernetes control plane hosted in the highly available CBTS private cloud. With automation and a redundant network and compute infrastructure, there is no single point of failure. The solution leverages AI and predictive analytics to forecast maintenance and improve continual operations, reducing costs and driving an increased bottom line.
Outcome
Through modernizing mission-critical applications that drive their bottom line, CBTS helped the client get the most from innovative technologies like containers and microservices, and game-changing practices like agile, DevOps, and CI/CD.
Unilever Federal Credit Union is a full service, single-sponsor, non-profit financial institution. The credit union is owned by its members and has a member-elected board of directors.
Problem
With their talented but often overtaxed IT staff, Unilever FCU needed an alternative option to deploy and maintain a secure network infrastructure, a high availability production environment, and data protection for backup and disaster recovery.
CBTS Solution
CBTS took the time to understand Unilever FCU’s current environment and proposed a fully-managed, hybrid data center and network solution. CBTS designed a high-availability cloud for production, data protection services for backup and disaster recovery, and managed services for remote network monitoring and management.
Outcome
Unilever FCU is well positioned for continued growth by leveraging a due diligence framework and all the supporting documentation as the foundation for addressing credit union compliance and regulatory standards.
“With CBTS, the attention to detail really stood out to us,” said Jim Kopfensteiner, CEO of Unilever FCU. “They were able to advise us on many topics, from real-time input during auditor exams to IT information security policies.”
