Visual Storytelling Reimagined for a Planning Software Company through a Global Capability Center

A $150M U.S.-based enterprise planning software company with over 4 million global users sought to accelerate platform modernization while scaling delivery capacity. With a strong development base in Eastern Europe, the client faced mounting challenges in hiring velocity, platform resilience, and managing a fast-growing product roadmap. 

Challenges: 

The client was under pressure to modernize legacy systems across backend, frontend, and cloud infrastructure. Delays in sourcing specialized engineering talent in Eastern Europe were slowing down critical release cycles. Additionally, the company needed tighter cross-continental delivery coordination, stronger governance alignment, and culture-first retention strategies to meet escalating user expectations.

Solution:

CodeNinja partnered with the client to establish a tailored Global Capability Center (GCC) in Lahore, Pakistan. Within 30 days, CodeNinja onboarded 30 high-caliber engineers across .NET, Node.js, React, Azure, and automation QA—seamlessly embedded into the client’s Agile teams. The GCC was built within a certified, always-on facility with full delivery governance, secure infrastructure, and cross-border collaboration protocols. 

• Achieved 50% cost savings compared to Eastern Europe, without compromising engineering quality or velocity. 
• Deployed 30 engineers in under 30 days with 24-hour candidate lock-ins and structured onboarding. 
• 3x output velocity in 6 months by enabling around-the-clock delivery with CI/CD and test automation. 
• 2x engineering throughput for backend and front-end modernization initiatives. 
• Increased platform uptime by 30% and reduced test failures by 50% post-Azure migration and QA automation. 
• Delivered 98%+ retention in year one with a culture-aligned, value-driven talent strategy.

This partnership demonstrates how a custom-built GCC can accelerate modernization, reduce cost-to-scale, and enhance cross-border delivery cohesion for high-growth SaaS enterprises.
