Becour needed a cloud development platform that would be easily accessible, stable and flexible, future proof and scale at pace with the company’s growth.
Objective
As a start-up and tech company the most important requirement was that the development platform of choice had to provide as many of the tools required for rapid application development as possible. Due to the nature of their business, the platform needed to be able to integrate to various internal systems whilst also being able to connect to external platforms via API. This includes government agencies and utility providers etc.
Becour was familiar with Neptune Software and its original offering for SAP customers, having used it to great effect previously. Therefore, it was a natural decision to leverage Neptune Software’s cloud service when the time was right.
Solution
Becour, as a company, started almost at the same time as the Neptune DXP – Open Edition was first released. Before introducing their product that would run on Neptune DXP Cloud – Managed Environments, they first spent some time on development and piloting in the market, followed by starting to promote these pilots and then migrating into the final production system.
After rigorous testing and feedback, Becour had the confidence to do all development on Neptune DXP – porting everything into Neptune DXP – Open Edition on AWS. With the introduction of Neptune DXP Cloud –Managed Environments in 2020, they were among the first wave of pilot customers to utilize Neptune DXP Cloud – Managed Environments. As such, Becour has closely collaborated with Neptune Software to validate key concepts and provide feedback & suggestions for continuous improvement leading up to the GA (general availability) version.
With the public launch of Neptune DXP Cloud – Managed Environments, Becour was one of the first Neptune DXP Cloud – Managed Environments customers which led to the successful launch of their product – Marbly* – in early May 2021.
