Optimizing AWS Contract Applications Through Modular Architecture
Client Background
A global cloud infrastructure leader serving millions of customers worldwide engaged Akraya to optimize their internal contract management applications. The modular contract project aimed to unify disparate processes, reduce business risk, and improve efficiency for teams.
Challenges Faced
This section outlines the core difficulties and pain points the client was experiencing. It provides context on the hurdles that needed to be overcome before achieving the successful outcome.
Business Risk from Mixed Deal Types
Different contract types were processed together in legacy flows, creating mismatches that required extensive manual intervention.
Operational Inefficiency at Scale
With 30+ deal types needing onboarding, the existing application couldn't efficiently handle the complexity.
Technical Debt in Critical Systems
The legacy application's architecture made changes slow and risky. Distributed systems required careful synchronization across upstream and downstream services.
Akraya’s Strategic Solution
We engineered a comprehensive solution to transform how client handles contract processing -
-
Modular Contract Architecture
Akraya designed and implemented a unified system that categorizes and processes different deal types separately.
-
AWS-Native Full Stack Implementation
Built using React for frontend, with backend services running on AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, and CDK infrastructure, the architecture leverages native components for authentication.
-
Accelerated Delivery Through AI-Augmented Development
Utilized code assist AI tools (Kiro, Amazon Q) to accelerate project setup and implementation.
Measurable Outcomes
Operational
Architecture now supports systematic onboarding of the full contract portfolio with 30+ Deal types included.
Financial
$15.8M annualized operational efficiency savings by eliminating manual contract mismatch resolution and reducing business team overtime.
Business
Architecture supports rapid onboarding of additional deal types without rework.
Conclusion
Akraya transformed the contract processing through modular architecture and full-stack engineering excellence. By building a unified system that properly categorizes deal types, eliminated business risk, reduced manual overhead, and created a scalable foundation for future growth.
