The challenge

Miura provides a complete solution to compliance lifecycle automation for a number of financial institutions.Enterprise-grade Cloud Security, Reliability, Resiliency, and Performance are key to achieving this on behalf of their customers. Our team was tasked with architecting and provisioning a foundation that directly aligned with these goals.As the business prepared to ramp up in 2020, FIRSTBLOX was requested to design and provision the solution in a short time frame.

Why FIRSTBLOX?

We understood from speaking with FIRSTBLOX initially that they understood the needs of our business, and that they had some direct experience achieving similar goals for other B2B Enterprise SaaS product businesses. After some discussions and agreement on delivery milestones, we were happy to engage FIRSTBLOX.
