How we helped Global Building Controls take their building management platform into the cloud

Scalability

Global Building Controls wanted to give their customers something valuable: the ability to monitor and manage their building management systems remotely, from anywhere. The technology existed. They needed the right partner to build it properly.

They came to SpiderGroup to make sense of what Azure could do for them and to build a platform they could grow into.

Challenge

GBC had a clear vision but no established cloud infrastructure to deliver it. They needed a solution that would let their customers access building management systems securely from remote locations, while keeping costs predictable and the platform ready to scale as their customer base grew.

Solution

We built a cloud platform in Azure sized for where GBC was, with clear visibility on costs from day one. The architecture was designed to scale cleanly as new customers were added, with the option to spin up additional virtual machines in different global regions when needed. GBC could see exactly what they were getting and what it would cost before we started.

From Founder

"SpiderGroup helped us understand what we needed in Azure. Right from the outset we knew what the costs would be and SpiderGroup were on hand to help us every step of the way."

What we learned together

The best cloud projects start with honest conversations about budget and scope. GBC knew their business. We knew Azure. Getting those two things aligned early meant there were no surprises and no wasted time.
