Case Study: MTCnovo – Scalable and Secure Cloud Platform for Case Management

MTCnovo, a company tasked with managing probation services in the UK, required a secure cloud platform to host their Case Management System (CMS). This system needed to hold Official-Sensitive data and integrate with the Ministry of Justice’s central database, while providing scalability and cost-efficiency.

Key Challenges and Requirements:

  • Host sensitive offender data securely while maintaining PSN connectivity.
  • Ensure compliance with UK Government security standards.
  • Provide a scalable infrastructure capable of future growth.

Solution:

Cloud Fundamental designed and deployed a Platform as a Service (PaaS) solution on AWS to meet MTCnovo’s security and scalability needs. The infrastructure included multi-layered security services, full encryption, and compliance with PSN Protected network standards. The solution also featured auto-scaling to accommodate future growth and changing business demands.

Results:

The AWS platform significantly reduced the complexity of MTCnovo’s operations, provided cost savings, and ensured seamless integration with the Ministry of Justice’s systems. MTCnovo now benefits from a scalable, secure, and future-proof platform that supports ongoing growth and innovation​.
