What is your most powerful asset?

About four years ago, L*D Open was a team of just over 30 people, all brilliant at what they did; however, the company had yet to become the unified machine that it is today.

Navigating strategic changes, including a leadership structure overhaul, adopting new technologies, and understanding what it truly means to take care of your people, were just some of the insights that Neil White, L*D Open CEO, encountered while growing the business to 70+ people.

Over the years, the company has evolved from a Linux/open source technology services company that took on the new frontier of cloud native in the 2010s, into an internationally trusted AI systems integrator with the launch of L*D Open Middle East. During this growth, L*D Open's leadership realised that its most important asset was never technology.

"The EBA approach has demonstrated just how capable our people are when supported by the right process, the right partners and the right skills".

Experience-based acceleration (EBA) is breaking the cloud migration deadlock through rapid ex*****on.

In this article, Deon Stroebel, CIO at L*D Open, discusses the EBA methodology and how 'learning by doing' is enabling customer teams to modernise for the cloud faster, reducing the time from months to days.

The article also distinguishes between different kinds of EBA workshops and where they will add the most value to customers experiencing specific pain points and cloud maturity scenarios.

As an example, Deon discusses the recent successful EBA workshop with the Purple Group (the company behind the award-winning EasyEquities platform) and L*D Open, where a legacy application was refactored to a modern architecture in just three days.

Paul Jansen van Vuuren, CTO of the Purple Group Limited , summarised the experience:
- "The EBA approach has demonstrated just how capable our people are when supported by the right process, the right partners and the right skills".
- "The speed at which they delivered secure, high-impact business value was nothing short of extraordinary."
- "AWS and L*D Open played a critical role across every stage, and we're eager to build on this success."
