AXA: Optimizing Software Architecture and Continuous Integration
AXA is the world’s leading insurance brand, operating primarily in Western Europe, North America, the Asia Pacific region, and the Middle East. The company provides life and health insurance, property and casualty insurance, investment management, and other services.
As the #1 global brand in the insurance sector, AXA manages complex systems that require strong performance, scalability, and efficiency to support its operations worldwide.
AXA was experiencing difficulties with the architecture of the backend of its applications and the Continuous Integration (CI) system. The delivery process lacked the necessary speed and consistency, while productivity and team efficiency metrics required significant improvement. The challenge was to strengthen the architecture, optimize CI practices, and ensure reliable and scalable delivery.
AXA’s continuous integration journey
The project began with the design and implementation of a complete Continuous Integration system to streamline delivery and reduce friction in the development lifecycle. In parallel, the team received training in pair programming to foster collaboration and improve code quality.
Additionally, consulting sessions were provided to AXA’s headquarters in France to review and enhance the overall software architecture, ensuring that the backend systems could evolve in a more sustainable and efficient way.
Results
- Complete implementation of a Continuous Integration system
- Faster and more consistent delivery cycles
- Improved collaboration and code quality through pair programming
- Consulting support to strengthen backend software architecture
- Increased productivity and efficiency of development teams
We are ready for new challenges
