Cloud readiness and flow architectures at iBwave

In 2020, iBwave began to move its flagship software product to the cloud to take advantage of massively parallel processing power for 4G/5G network signal calculations.

Conflux helped iBwave to explore and evaluate options during the move to Microsoft Azure.

iBwave provides telecom radio planning software used by telecoms providers around the world. Conflux guided a move to adopt a cloud product mode.

Thanks again for your work here at iBwave; it was valuable and we all learn a lot from your experience.

In 2020, iBwave began to move its flagship software product to the cloud to take advantage of massively parallel processing power for 4G/5G network signal calculations.

Conflux helped iBwave to explore and evaluate options during the move to Microsoft Azure:

  1. Recommendations for adjustments to the sales and product approaches to better suit a cloud-based SaaS subscription service,

  2. Practical options for migrating the software application in stages to the cloud, together with decision heuristics to enable adjustments later on. This included a redesign of the teams based on the book Team Topologies by Conflux founder, Matthew Skelton.

  3. Specific practices for modernizing .NET codebases and migrating to to team-sizes services using Continuous Delivery based on the book Continuous Delivery with Windows and .NET by Conflux founder, Matthew Skelton.

The work led to a set of operating principles for cloud-based software, a migration path for the existing software product, and practical options for accelerating software delivery.
