Overview
A strategic IT consulting firm partnered with Quicksilver to accelerate delivery across a Fortune 500 client’s enterprise modernization initiative. We were engaged to provide high-caliber, embedded engineering talent to reinforce a business critical application modernization effort.
The Challenge
The client needed to scale up a modernization team supporting a large-scale platform migration from legacy systems to a modern, scalable cloud-based architecture, all under tight timelines and limited bandwidth from internal engineering teams.
Our Role
Quicksilver was brought in as a trusted partner to deliver vetted engineering capacity on-demand. Our scope included full-time, embedded engineers with expertise in application modernization, CI/CD automation and enterprise-grade infrastructure readiness.
The Solution
We deployed senior engineers within two weeks using a high-trust, low-friction model that integrated seamlessly into existing Agile teams. Our approach emphasized:
Deep partnership alignment with the strategic consultancy
Quick ramp-up through pre-vetted talent pools
Low overhead, high-velocity execution
Continuous feedback loops and flexible engagement
The Outcome
Delivery acceleration: Project timelines compressed by 30%
Team synergy: Our engineers were indistinguishable from in-house staff
Scalability: Easily ramped resources up/down as project phases evolved
Confidence: Enabled the consultancy to deliver ahead of schedule, enhancing their relationship with the end-client
“Quicksilver quickly became an extension of our delivery team, the talent was strong, adaptable and integrated perfectly into our client environment.”
Format of Engagement
Strategic Partnership. Embedded Quicksilver Business Analysts working in tandem with the client and technology consulting firm to extend modernization momentum.
