MODERN WEB & DATA SOLUTIONS – IF
2025
The Challenge: Scaling modern digital services across legacy systems and teams
When If launched its GOATs team to accelerate embedded webshop capabilities, they faced a familiar challenge: combining high expectations with limited internal availability of senior talent. At the same time, other critical projects required modernizing legacy systems and modularizing their digital service architecture — all without slowing down delivery.
The Mission: Strengthen internal teams with top-tier consultants and modernize core platforms
Solution
Black Belt Consulting provided highly
experienced consultants to strengthen
multiple IF development initiatives.
Roles included frontend, fullstack,
backend, and DevOps — enabling
knowledge transfer, faster delivery, and
modernization of technical foundations
across three key projects.
Execution
Project 1: GOATs Webshop Enablement
- Supported webshop development
and shared integration layer - Built and launched shared
component library - Developed and improved CI/CD
pipelines for webshop
deployment - Introduced automated alerting
system for monitoring
Execution
Project 2: Offer Handling Modularization
- Separated offer-handling
functionality into a new
microservice - Fully re-architected frontend and
backend - Handover completed to two newly
hired internal developers
Project 3: Real-Time Mainframe Data Transformation
- Backend development for real-
time mainframe data processing - Built pipelines to convert and
store data to Azure SQL using If’s Information Model
Results
- Accelerated webshop rollout
across IF teams - Reduced complexity and
increased maintainability of portal
architecture - Laid foundation for modern,
reusable microservices - Enabled real-time use of legacy
mainframe data across platforms - Supported recruitment and
onboarding of internal developers
Technologies used: React, react-hook-form, .NET 8/9, C#, Azure DevOps, Azure Functions, Azure SQL, YAML, Docker, BFF-architecture

“Black Belt developers brought technical depth and helped scale both the platform and our team”

Conclusion: From external support to embedded excellence
Across all three projects, Black Belt consultants didn’t just fill gaps — they built solutions, enabled teams, and left behind tools, processes, and
architecture that continue to scale. If is now better equipped to deliver modern digital services at speed, across platforms old and new.
