Building an Enterprise-Grade Solution: Clarity’s Journey with DataArt’s Application Development Expertise

Approach

DataArt proposed building a "product factory" for Clarity, a structured environment within an organization, designed to enable continued innovation, rather than simply replicating the existing system. The approach involved developing a new system and establishing repeatable best practices for achieving the solution's future vision from both technological and business perspectives.

To realize this vision, DataArt employed our in house developed approach known as Connect Framework, a structured process that focuses on gaining alignment from business stakeholders on a clear roadmap for achieving desired business outcomes. The Connect Framework specifically helped navigate the complexities of timelines and technology landscapes. It began by collaborating closely with stakeholders to define a strategic 

DataArt approached the project in layers, starting with a booking feature and gradually adding more complex functionalities. This method helped DataArt build a strong, trust-based relationship with Clarity and set clear expectations throughout the development process.

During the project, the joint team addressed several complex issues:

• By building on their combined understanding of the technical architecture of the previous system, DataArt and Clarity worked hand in hand to identify any shortcomings. Their joint knowledge and expertise helped bridge the gaps and tackle the challenges ahead.
• Performance issues of the existing platform affected the efficiency of the front-end booking processes. To address this, the team needed to optimize both the architecture and the user experience. This involved designing and developing a horizontally scalable cloud solution with a microservices architecture to enhance performance and ensure a smoother user experience.

The team developed the solution using a cloud-native architecture, incorporating a React front-end and a .NET back-end for the online booking tool. They leveraged AWS for scalability, performance, and compatibility with the required technology stack to meet Clarity's evolving needs.

The platform adheres to AWS security best practices within the AWS Shared Responsibility Model. Team utilized cloud security tools, including AWS GuardDuty, AWS Macie, AWS Security Hub, AWS CloudTrail to create a secure and scalable cloud-based solution. Additionally, they conducted an AWS Well-Architected Review to validate the design.
