While a major audit consultancy is the world leader in their space, they knew they couldn't rest on their laurels. That's why they partnered with AgileThought — to create a global audit platform that streamlines the entire audit process to elevate audit quality, provide greater insights, and deliver a differentiated, data-driven audit experience.

A Global Platform Built on Collaboration
To create a global audit platform, they required a partner with expertise in cloud-based architecture, a strong grasp of Agile methodologies, and a track record of delivering secure and scalable software in an outcome-based model. Additionally, they needed a collaborator capable of working closely with auditors from diverse countries and cultures to bring their vision of a next-generation audit platform to life, thereby transforming their global Audit & Assurance business.
The Right Space with the Right Technology
Working alongside audit professionals, AgileThought built an interactive work environment where we could collaborate using a Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe). This proven model boosts productivity, quality, and speed to market by creating small, high-performing teams to deliver software at scale, lead platform releases, and continuously improve the platform based on stakeholder feedback. We coupled this working environment with an Azure-based, enterprise-scale software development framework that includes core technologies, microservices design patterns, and continuous integration/ continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines for software delivery across multiple teams in a controlled fashion.
A Global Platform Means Global Scale
AgileThought then ramped up production to over 300 team members across more than 30 agile delivery teams, delivering new software features every two weeks. The audit practitioners turned into product owners; they collaborated with our software development teams, articulating the most important features and helping them translate the business requirements into working software. We used Azure DevOps to manage all program activities — from product backlog to deployment pipelines — and Teams to facilitate communication among 300+ stakeholders.

When Quality & Performance Matter
We also automated scalability, performance and reliability (SPR) testing to properly tune the system throughout the engagement. This automated approach — coupled with our close partnership with the product owners — not only empowered the team to respond rapidly to emerging issues, but also provided reassurance that the software would perform and scale well once deployed.
Today, this audit platform is more than just a technology to capture documentation — it’s an enterprise platform that delivers the company´s vision for a digital, data-driven future. The platform positions the company's business for ongoing flexibility to incorporate future innovations and adapt to changes in client needs and regulatory developments.
