Ground Truth Intelligence (GTI), the global diligence and investigations platform, recently sought the help of UK technology consultancy Tech Amigos to transform its existing IT infrastructure and scale its platform in line with changing business needs.
The organisation’s transition from start-up to scale-up – resulting from an ever-increasing user base and the onboarding of new network partners – meant its underlying IT infrastructure had to evolve to meet new consumer demands. AWS cloud support from Tech Amigos ensured the core platform had this necessary scalability, flexibility, and resilience.
The amigos worked closely with GTI to bolster the organisation’s existing IT infrastructure, prioritise areas for ongoing improvement, and promote a DevOps culture throughout the business, all of which help to ensure that operations can run smoothly. This advancement, in turn, enables developers to focus on what matters most to them: getting code out of the door to run investigations and intelligence projects in a smart and secure manner.
Founded in 2019, GTI developed the innovative diligence and investigations platform that gives organisations direct access to both digitised and non-digitised data. From due diligence to asset tracing, sources of wealth to corporate record retrieval, the team matches clients with best-fit service providers and specialist network partners to meet their specific needs, covering over 200 jurisdictions worldwide.
The platform also delivers maximum security standards and data privacy, without comprising on cost or quality. Appointing Tech Amigos to manage its cloud operations and bolster security levels has meant that GTI continues to deliver on this promise.
Patrick Carter, Co-Founder and CTO at GTI explains: “Traditional intelligence and investigation models often result in data that comes in a non-digitised format. As former investigators ourselves, we recognised that a lot of global research still requires manual intervention to access this data. As such, our aim when forming GTI was to find a new way to provide instant access to these resources, all the while taking into consideration issues surrounding data security.
“This is where the GTI platform came to light – designed by, and for, intelligence and investigations practitioners to provide an agile, efficient, and secure way to run projects. However, as the business started to grow, we realised that we needed to cater to increasing demand by accelerating our digital transformation efforts. We also wanted to ensure that clients have full transparency and visibility of the data-collection process, so they know exactly who is providing them with information and how they are getting it.”
Patrick continues: “Security, reliability, and overall platform performance were high on our agenda. This is where Tech Amigos services and product suite came into play. In fact, the reason that we collaborated with the amigos in the first place was due to the stellar results and optimised IT infrastructure witnessed by our CEO in the US at his previous company.
“Tech Amigos deployed AWS cloud support to proactively optimise our performance, scale our existing IT infrastructure, and lower costs. Following this transition, Tech Amigos continues to provide us with ongoing consultancy to support the platform and bolster IT architecture as the business grows.
“It is also important to note that Tech Amigos delivered this project in the proposed time frame, with a level of customer service which is almost surprising in this day and age. It really showed that the team had taken the time to understand the needs of our unique business model, which is why we perceive Tech Amigos as such a valuable partner that we want keep on board.”
Sachin Deshpande, Founder at Tech Amigos, adds: “We were referred to GTI by one of our previous clients and we are glad that we delivered to that recommendation and thank GTI for allowing us to be part of this amazing journey. We bundled our experience of AWS cloud, Gitlab and Terraform that enabled us to deliver a secure, scalable and robust platform foundations upon which GTI’s platform can effectively deliver their customers needs.”
