Overview
The world of business technology has evolved. Driven by the shift towards distributed work and cloud application delivery, enterprise infrastructure is undergoing a transformation. Legacy infrastructure is rapidly giving way to hybrid cloud data center models, and businesses are increasingly embracing cloud microservices in lieu of monolithic software platforms.
For the uninitiated, microservices represent a unique approach to application development and design. Rather than being inextricable parts of a unified whole, microservices architecture reimagines an application’s various functions as a collection of independent, loosely-coupled services supported by application programming interfaces — definitions and protocols through which software components can communicate with one another.
Owing to their agility, flexibility and ease of deployment, microservices are quickly eclipsing monolithic applications. As a result, the microservices architecture market is projected to reach US$21.61 billion by 2030 at a compounded annual growth rate of 18.6 percent.
Adisyn Ltd. (ASX:AI1) intends to take full advantage of this growth, leveraging its team of experienced technology specialists and engineers. Originally offering a suite of vertically integrated services covering every aspect of data center and cloud technologies, the company has pivoted its business strategy, focusing on the development of advanced, AI-powered microservices.
Through strategic acquisitions, Adisyn will allow customers to capitalize on a fast-evolving market and access advanced software and IT capabilities — all without the need for in-house developers. With a fully configurable platform, the company also empowers customers to build their ideal software solutions.
Adisyn has charted out an extensive growth strategy consisting of multiple phases. The first phase, completed in 2022, included its ASX listing, the establishment and design accreditation of its advanced Tier III Bibra Lake Data Centre, and ISO 27001 certification for data security. The company is currently in its second phase, expected to conclude in 2025.
Adisyn has completed two acquisitions, acquiring managed services provider Attained and Cyber security company, Thomas Cyber. From here, it plans to seek out further complementary acquisitions and partnerships in the microservices tech space while expanding across Australia and Asia-Pacific (APAC). Another key focus in this phase is to leverage its existing assets to grow revenue as it continues a broader technological restructuring.
Its third and final phase, set to commence from 2025 to 2027, will see the company target global expansion and establish itself as a key player in the microservices space through the development of a unique end-to-end enterprise offering.
