Pvotal
Trailblazing a New Era in Enterprise Platforms

A paradigm shift is taking root in the world of software development. Recuperating from pandemic-induced losses, companies want to increase the agility and efficiency of their software development lifecycle, from ideation to commercialization, with low operational expenses. Even though low-code and no-code platforms have played a key role in facilitating lean software development, enterprises perceive them as low on scalability, flexibility, and security.

Pvotal is overcoming the limitations of low-code platforms with the power of 'LowOps.'

Its customized LowOps solutions enable organizations to automate a sizeable part of their software development lifecycle, allowing them to scale their operations without a huge development team.

According to Yashin Manraj, CEO of Pvotal, "Our next-gen LowOps way of building platforms and apps, help organizations gain high operational efficiency, rapid scale, and be hyper-secure with optimal business process oversight. Best part - they can do all this with lean teams and minimal resources.”

LCNC with a Twist

While the last decade was about low-code, no-code platforms revolutionizing software development with little to no coding, the hype around them has started to fizzle. This largely stems from a lack of code ownership, fixed templates for building software products, restricted control over the code within applications, and limited UI and design choices.

Amid this backdrop, Pvotal's LowOps tools turned out to be a boon for organizations looking to expedite software development with higher productivity.

It takes the best practices in DevSecOps, AIOps, and CloudOps, and meshes them with LCNC concepts to adopt a business-oriented approach to software development. The LowOps tools handle everything from automating the deployment to scaling of applications, while minimizing the details of networking across multiple cloud providers, on-premise infrastructure, CI/CD, and security updates.

It enables companies to minimize the number of operations that require a substantial workforce, including quality control experts, UX designers, copywriters, and DevOps coders.

What further sets Pvotal's 'LowOps' solutions apart is the level of scalability they offer to help an organization upgrade its existing software development infrastructure.

Organizations often hit a wall with LCNC platforms when they try to scale their operations to fulfill growing customer demands.

The platforms do not allow developers to build new feature sets if they are not present in the static libraries. This makes testing and releasing new features or upgrading the application cumbersome. It also prolongs the time between an application's ideation and commercialization. Pvotal's fully automated software development infrastructure, powered by a universal gRPC-based framework built on next-generation protocols, empowers customers to quickly develop software using dynamic libraries. It helps them rapidly scale their operations according to user demands without incurring massive expenses.

There are numerous success stories that validate the excellence of Pvotal's LowOps approach to building enterprise platforms and apps.

When Emirates contacted it to build, in 20 days, a solution for managing concessions, payments, and ticketing for thousands at the recent Rugby World Cup, Pvotal took up the challenge.

Working fully remotely, the Pvotal team gained a deep view into the Emirates’ operations through consultations, and remotely deployed tools and engines. Pvotal built the entire platform in less than 16 days to the satisfaction of one of the world's biggest airlines and consumer brands. It helped them successfully manage all event-related operations without any technological hurdles – at a rate of 100,000/operations per second.

We help organizations with our “low ops” tools that help them gain scale, performance, security, and effective oversight of business processes - while operating with minimal resources

A Distinct Blend of Security and Flexibility

At a point in time when organizational assets are frequently susceptible to cyberattacks due to their dependency on third-party libraries, Pvotal puts security at the core of its solutions. Powered by open-source technologies, its cloud-based libraries add a layer of security to the client's IT infrastructure that is on par with stringent banking and cryptocurrency protocols that protect user data and transactions.

When a company lost $11 million in three months after a third-party library, they were relying upon was hacked, Pvotal helped the client identify the source and cause of the leak. They also analyzed the client’s core business processes to find out how hackers got access to the passwords and how they were able to manage fake financial activities on their payment gateways. Pvotal then built a fully secured automated platform with codes deployed entirely in the cloud. It allowed the client to fortify their IT infrastructure, while also optimizing their development environment and resources.

Organizations can deploy Pvotal's LowOps solutions from anywhere globally to gain complete flexibility. Clients can send the business logic, which the team at Pvotal implements in its libraries to help develop products faster and keep operational costs as low as possible in the long term.

Building on Customer-Centricity

Pvotal believes in not just building software products and handing them over to the clients, but helping clients launch a product that justifies their business objectives.

While embarking on a new project, the team goes through an exploratory phase, leveraging its years of industry application expertise for the client's product development lifecycle. It conducts extensive research on relevant industry topics, audiences, and competitors and holds meetings with key stakeholders.

“We go beyond building and implementing technology. Through in-depth consultations, we help clients identify what their business and processes really need - and then build solutions. Effectively, we help them with product development.” states Manraj.

“We do not believe that security and scale should be trade-offs for an enterprise. We build for both”

The impact of Pvotal's consultative approach is significant. In their engagement with an e-commerce player who was facing issues with online sales - they helped the client tremendously by identifying the root cause.

The client was under the notion that market changes and economic issues were bringing sales down. But Pvotal’s team took an in depth approach and discovered that whenever a customer would add more than 15 items in the cart, their page would time out. That and the fact that the client was doing an ineffective job of handling customer feedback on their social media - was powering them down. “We built them the right solutions for the right problems, by first identifying the real business reason. As a result, their sales tripled in just 3 months.”

Having transformed numerous business operations with a magnifying effect on clients' revenue and overall business growth, Pvotal is making the most of its experience to build additional functionalities within its core libraries and enhance its next-gen 'LowOps' tools.

Meanwhile, it is focusing on fostering a great work culture, investing heavily in its employees’ well-being with a fully remote, multicultural workplace that unleashes creativity and rewards individual contributions and lateral thinking.

With its next-gen solutions, personalized client engagements, and highly talented workforce, Pvotal is determined to help more organizations scale their businesses, streamline operational workflows, and maintain cyber resiliency. They are ready to help enterprises grow and scale infinitely - and do it right!
