From 3 Days to 3 Minutes. A Data Indexing Breakthrough Through WEBCON BPS Optimization at Budimex
Budimex, a leader in the infrastructure industry, has been using the WEBCON platform for years to digitize administrative, financial, and operational processes. As the environment grew—to more than 50 business applications and hundreds of thousands of documents—performance challenges began to emerge. Searching for data started to feel less like using a modern search engine and more like digging through an archive. Budimex turned to GoNextStage for support in improving data indexing across the system. The results were impressive.
Project Overview
The Challenge: Declining Performance and Delays in Data Search
As data volumes increased, the SOLR mechanism—responsible for data search—could no longer keep up with updates. Data indexing took as long as 2–3 days, effectively blocking access to critical information.
Business Risks Caused by Slow WEBCON Performance
difficulty making informed decisions
difficulties coordinating work with subcontractors
risk of downtime and project schedule disruptions
The Solution: A Comprehensive Audit and Optimization of the WEBCON BPS Environment
GoNextStage experts stepped in and conducted a detailed audit of the IT environment. Their work included:
- Moving SOLR to a dedicated server and reconfiguring it for heavy workloads,
- Reindexing the data to restore smooth search performance,
- Analyzing the SQL environment and implementing both ad hoc and long-term recommendations based on data from Zabbix monitoring.
The Results: Near-Instant Access to Data and Higher Work Efficiency
The results of the optimization exceeded expectations. Data indexing time was reduced from several days to just 3–4 minutes. It was like moving from a dusty archive to an online search engine—data is now available almost instantly, and working with WEBCON BPS has once again become intuitive and efficient.
Implementing the recommendations provided by GoNextStage significantly improved the user experience of working with Webcon BPS. We achieved a major reduction in data search times, bringing the delay for indexed changes down to 3–4 minutes. We also saw the impact of the ad hoc recommendations, which improved the performance and responsiveness of the Webcon BPS applications. Working with Webcon BPS is efficient again and meets the expectations of our business teams.
