AvidXchange is a leading provider of accounts payable (AP) automation software and payment solutions for middle market businesses and their suppliers. As a growing business, AvidXchange’s acquisitions had begun to increase the complexity of their enterprise architecture and infrastructure. They wanted to reduce the complexity and adopt a microservices architecture in order support their growth goals and deliver additional value to their customer network.
Solution:
AvidXchange began partnering with Thoughtworks in 2019. Utilizing our Digital Platform Strategy blueprint, we worked together to evolve and accelerate a number of programs, including: a unified invoicing system; an agile transformation office; enabling continuous delivery by implementing core product practices; instituting leading tools and practices to increase developer effectiveness; establishing a delivery infrastructure; restructuring their engineering practices and architectures to host a microservices approach in order to create a strong, functional delivery infrastructure; and bringing alignment to their technology and product roadmaps.
Benefits:
The efforts have increased the capability, speed and efficiency of AvidXchange’s production ability and technology operations. With the creation of a unified invoice management service, in 2020 average domain releases increased by 250% versus the prior year and reduced solution architecture work cycle times by 65%.
