About

From custom installs to scalable SaaS, without losing customers

Futurion modernizes its business model, transforming how it serves customers, scales operations, and grows business. All without disruption.

Futurion built its FuturCast forecasting platform to serve large, long-term clients. And for years, delivered it through on-prem installs, annual licenses, and minimal internal IT. And while the model was stable, it couldn’t scale.

Going SaaS was essential, but it required turning their own operations upside down, without forcing change on their customers.

"We’re a forecasting company. I didn’t want to manage servers or chase uptime."
Robert Carbone, CEO, Futurion
Business Challenge

Disrupt the business model. Don’t disrupt the customer.

As demand grew, Futurion’s on-prem model became a barrier to expansion and operational efficiency. Futurion’s shift to cloud-based delivery was already underway. But internal resources were stretched; they needed a partner to take over day-to-day operations. And then, help build a multi-tenant SaaS foundation that could support long-term growth.

The real challenge: modernize the product without breaking customer contracts or introducing operational risks. Any shift had to feel invisible to their users; it was critical their partners understood this.

"If we hadn’t made this move, and had Aptum’s support tracing this roadmap for us, our company would not have grown and FuturCast would have reached early retirement."
Robert Carbone, CEO, Futurion
The Solution

Phased roadmap to a scalable future

When Futurion engaged us in 2019, most of their customers were still on single-tenant environments, delivered manually. Their team needed immediate support first, and a long-term growth roadmap second. Together, we agreed on a phased approach:

Phase 1: Dedicated SaaS environments (2019)

  • Built isolated, single-tenant environments for each customer using Amazon EC2, Amazon RDS, and Amazon VPC for security and performance.
  • Automated provisioning and monitoring with AWS CloudFormation and Amazon CloudWatch.
  • Delivered fully managed services, including patching, backups, and 24/7 support, ensuring zero disruption during migration.
  • Faster onboarding + consistent delivery and performance.

Phase 2: Flexible Multi-Tenant Architecture on AWS (2024)

  • Designed a secure, repeatable multi-tenant framework using Amazon ECS/EKS, AWS IAM, and AWS Lambda for scalability and cost optimization.
  • Implemented tenant isolation with AWS VPC and data security and with Amazon S3 encryption & Web Application Firewall (WAF).
  • Reduced infrastructure overhead while supporting both enterprise-grade and cost-sensitive clients.

Throughout the engagement, we provided MSP-level support, pre-migration planning, risk assessments, and post-implementation monitoring & support, ensuring a seamless migration and operational continuity.

This phased approach let Futurion protect existing revenue while evolving their platform for broader market reach and better margins.

Futurion needed a partner that could meet them where they were and help them scale without losing control. Through five years of partnership, we have delivered exactly that: infrastructure that flexes with them and people who stay through the journey.

Key outcomes:

  • Zero on-prem deployments since 2019

  • Improved application performance and reduced latency across all customer environments
  • No security incidents in 5+ years
