Highlights / Intro

Harvard Business Publishing (HBP) is a global leader in business education and leadership development content. As their digital platforms grew in complexity, HBP needed a technology partner capable of modernizing their legacy systems and scaling delivery across multiple products and business units.
unosquare became that long-term partner, helping HBP transition from monolithic applications to a fully modern, containerized cloud ecosystem.

Challenge

Over a decade ago, HBP’s infrastructure relied on legacy applications that limited agility and increased costs.

Transition to a cloud-based architecture without disrupting active operations.

Enable faster deployments and improved recovery times.

Streamline engineering processes across multiple distributed teams.

Solution

unosquare implemented a full modernization strategy, migrating HBP’s infrastructure to AWS Cloud with automated deployment pipelines.

The team integrated Docker, Jenkins, and CloudFormation for CI/CD automation and monitoring through New Relic and Splunk.

By embedding infrastructure-as-code and adopting managed services, Unosquare reduced resource overhead and improved cost efficiency.

Today, unosquare represents 40% of HBP’s engineering organization, providing ongoing product development, modernization, and cloud support across divisions.

Scope:

  • Cloud Migration & Infrastructure Modernization
  • CI/CD & Automation
  • Product Development
  • Managed Engineering Services

Tech Stack

AWS (ECS, EC2, S3, CloudFront, Route 53, IAM), Docker, Jenkins, CloudFormation, New Relic, Splunk
