how randstad digital helped.
At Randstad Digital, our approach is to partner with clients to understand their core business challenges and deliver solutions that not only solve immediate problems but also create long-term value.
We were brought in to support their strategic migration from legacy Hadoop systems to a modern, cloud-native data platform. To achieve this:
- A dedicated POD model of over 25 engineers across two PODs was deployed. The teams were equipped with cutting-edge technologies like AWS, PySpark, Apache Airflow and SQL and supported by a robust DevOps ecosystem using GitLab, Jenkins, Docker and Kubernetes.
- Adopting a hybrid Agile approach, the teams were fully operational within a remarkable five-week ramp-up time, a feat made possible by an efficient screening process and robust onboarding. The work involved re-architecting data pipelines and building automation scripts with methodologies like Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and DevSecOps, all while adhering to industry best practices.
- The Bangalore-based hybrid model ensured a seamless mix of on-site and offshore execution. This ensured a continuous 24/7 workflow and optimized costs for the client. The success of the approach was evident in the delivery metrics, including a 90%+ sprint completion rate and a collaborative framework that involved regular agile and knowledge transfer sessions.
By providing this strategic, end-to-end solution, Randstad Digital didn’t just meet a need—we fundamentally transformed the client’s data infrastructure, setting them up for sustainable growth.

Our partnership with the client, delivered immediate and tangible results helping reduce costs, enhance scalability, and enable faster data processing for business insights.
- The engagement delivered measurable business impact. Data pipeline deployment became 2x faster, while migration to a modern cloud-based platform significantly reduced infrastructure costs and eliminated reliance on outdated systems—laying the foundation for future innovation.
- Talent challenges were resolved quickly, with 85% of niche roles filled within just five weeks, enabling critical projects to launch on time. Supported operations across multiple locations achieved zero attrition, reflecting the stability and quality of delivery that reshaped the client’s perception of its technology and talent ecosystem.
