Scaling Innovation with Spring Boot Microservices at Deutsche Telekom

Challenge

Our client, Deutsche Telekom Group, a leading European telecom provider faced rising operational costs, limited scalability, and agility constraints due to a legacy, monolithic enterprise system. Vendor lock-in and an outdated architecture restricted innovation, making it essential for the client to adopt a flexible open source, cloud-based solution to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving market.

Solution

To address these challenges, we designed a phased migration to a microservices architecture using Spring Boot. This open-source, cloud-native approach allowed for a cost-effective transformation without interrupting operations. By implementing incremental service transitions and leveraging Spring Boot’s pre-built components, the client gained enhanced performance and system flexibility.

Business Value

The migration yielded an 80% reduction in operational costs, 70% reduction in licensing fees and a 45% boost in performance under peak loads. Development cycles became 40% faster, empowering the client’s teams to innovate and respond swiftly to market changes. With a scalable, agile architecture, the client is now positioned to harness future technologies, ensuring lasting business resilience and adaptability.

Here is what the client had to say about the solution we provided:

“Since adopting the new solution, we’ve reduced license fees by nearly 70% and cut operational expenses with third-party vendors by approximately 80% annually. Additionally, we’ve improved performance and scalability for our Java applications on Kubernetes, resulting in faster response times and better resource efficiency.”
