We have benefited from the resources that are available from Levi9 and the relationship works very well. Sometimes it is difficult to understand where Tinka ends and Levi9 begins because we work so well together that is hard to understand who is internal and who is external. We have a five-year plus relationship with them, and it is not common to have that informal and very close collaboration for so long.

About the project
In the fast-paced world of FinTech, Tinka faced a significant business challenge. They needed to transfer a crucial part of back-office operations from an older, less efficient system to a new, more cost-effective one. Their IT workload automation software, an on premise, legacy task scheduler software, had many limitations, including high administrative burdens, lack of direct system access and substantial licensing costs. Tinka aimed to modernize back-office processes, save money, and operate more efficiently. But it was also imperative to migrate to a new system without interrupting day-to-day business.
Tinka initially wanted to use Databricks, but this solution fell short of meeting their back office and budget requirements. Together we discovered that Tinka could streamline operations and cut costs by building a new, serverless cloud-native system using Amazon Step Functions and Amazon Lambda. After careful planning and execution, we were able to seamlessly migrate all 40 financial maintenance jobs to the new system.
Results
- The results of the transition were immediate and significant. Operational costs are now 30% lower, and expensive licensing fees are completely eliminated.
- Step Function’s pay-as-you-go model is also half the cost of the legacy task scheduler fixed pricing. Access to detailed usage and cost data have enabled more data-driven decisions, resulting in additional savings and greater efficiency overall.
- In addition to financial gains, Tinka’s workforce benefits from the system’s user-friendly interface that enables greater flexibility and accessibility. Now, even non-technical teams can use their domain expertise to improve processes, so they feel more satisfied with the results.
- Tinka has full ownership of the system, which is scalable and capable of adapting to growing business demands. This innovative solution has undoubtedly modernized and enhanced Tinka’s operations, helping them maintain a competitive advantage in the dynamic FinTech industry.
