## Case Studies

- [Orchard Insurance — Strangling a 30-year-old policy administration monolith](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/orchard-insurance-modernisation): Orchard’s core policy system predated the web. Using the strangler-fig pattern we extracted quoting, claims and billing into modern services while regulators watched closely.
- [Mediloop Health — A HIPAA-grade data platform powering 400 clinics](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/mediloop-health-data-platform): Mediloop’s telehealth data lived in silos across 400 clinics. We delivered a governed lakehouse with real-time patient dashboards and ML-driven no-show prediction.
- [Northwind Pay — Re-platforming a payments leader to 99.99% availability](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/northwind-pay-replatform): Northwind Pay processed £2bn a year on a fragile monolith that feared every Friday release. We rebuilt their platform on AWS EKS with event-driven services and progressive delivery — without freezing feature work.
- [Lumen Analytics — SOC 2 Type II in 90 days without slowing the roadmap](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/lumen-analytics-soc2): Enterprise deals stalled on security questionnaires. We took Lumen from ad-hoc controls to SOC 2 Type II in one quarter while shipping two major features.
- [Vantage Retail Group — Unified commerce for a 230-store retail group](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/vantage-retail-commerce): Vantage ran separate online and in-store stock pools, overselling during every promotion. We unified inventory behind event-driven services and added demand forecasting for replenishment.
- [Freightline Logistics — Real-time telemetry for 4,800 vehicles](https://bytedots.com/case-studies/freightline-fleet-telemetry): Freightline’s fleet generated 40k sensor readings a minute with nowhere to go. Our streaming pipeline turned noise into live ETAs, fuel savings and predictive maintenance.

- [SOC 2 without slowing down: controls your engineers won’t hate](https://bytedots.com/insights/soc2-without-slowing-down): Compliance projects die when they fight engineering culture. How to map SOC 2 controls onto tooling you already run, and automate the evidence.
- [Golden paths over golden cages: platform engineering that developers choose](https://bytedots.com/insights/platform-engineering-golden-paths): Internal platforms succeed when adoption is voluntary. Lessons from building paved-road platforms three engineering organisations actually wanted.
- [Build vs buy in 2026: a decision framework with actual numbers](https://bytedots.com/insights/real-decision-framework-build-buy): Total cost of ownership spreadsheets lie. Our advisory team’s weighted scoring model weighs opportunity cost, exit risk and talent availability honestly.
