At 7N, the heart of our business lies in our dedicated consultants. Each day, they apply their expertise and go above and beyond to assist our clients in achieving the best possible solutions. It is for this reason that we aim to shine a spotlight on the remarkable efforts of some of our consultants, who are fueled by their knowledge, commitment, and wealth of experience. Let's unleash their performance.
Martin Sponholtz is one of our excellent, high-performing IT consultants, who showed an outstanding effort in delivering an innovative solution in his role as an architect on a project at one of 7N’s clients within the energy sector.
The client wanted radical changes to their ERP system over the coming years since this part of the business and system area had to be modernized, and the ambition was a modern micro-services ecosystem. The new micro-services architecture was also desired to largely follow an Event-Driven Service Oriented Architecture rather than communicating through web services. In addition, another main objective was to streamline the use of technologies so that the same ones were used across the entire organization. These included modern technologies such as .NET Core, Google Cloud, Google Pub/Sub, and PostgreSQL.
In close dialogue with relevant stakeholders and based on extensive investigation of various possibilities, Martin started developing a standalone system: the "Proxy" where events can be received from SqlServer/Service Broker and then sent to RabbitMQ or Google Pub/Sub. They will then be easily listened to in the future from other new micro-services.
With excellent technical and business insight, Martin has delivered a creative and valuable solution to the customer's major technical challenge in a relatively short time. The solution has the potential to improve the business value of the core system and give the company significantly improved access to real-time data. In addition, the solution model can be used by other departments at the client. The Hiring Manager says that Martin is so competent that as soon as you get the opportunity to welcome him, you should do it because everyone can learn something from him.
We are lucky and proud to work with such a dedicated and professional person as Martin. We hope to continue our work together for many years in the future!
