The Challenge

ETC needed to modernize their on-premises IT infrastructure to cost-effectively manage massive amounts of video and image data from highways. Their existing environment inhibited data management and analytics goals as they expanded to serve more states across the U.S.

The Solution

ETC partnered with DoiT to migrate to Google Cloud, implementing BigQuery, Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud SQL, and Cloud Storage. DoiT provided expert guidance on IAM strategy, Kubernetes adoption, and cloud-native capabilities to accelerate the transformation.

Results

  • Reduces initial deployment time by half
  • Eliminates patching and maintenance downtimes in production environments
  • Enables self-healing deployments with GKE, eliminating unexpected outages
  • Reduces costs to manage roadway images and videos with cloud storage
  • Accelerates implementation of tolling systems through faster environment setups
  • Consolidates infrastructure elements to cut overall IT spend

Meet ETC

ETC is a tolling technology provider that has helped states across the U.S., including California, Washington, Texas, Colorado, Illinois, and Louisiana, modernize toll collection systems for more than two decades. The company collects massive amounts of video and images from highways but faced challenges managing this data cost-effectively with on-premises infrastructure.

Teaming up with the right partner

ETC recognized they needed cloud expertise beyond their on-premises knowledge. They chose DoiT as their Google Cloud Premier Partner to navigate the migration. DoiT provided expert guidance on identity and access management protocols and helped ETC adopt Google Kubernetes Engine, enabling faster tolling system implementations.

Modernizing the entire IT stack for advanced analytics

ETC transformed their data management approach using BigQuery, Google Cloud Storage, and Cloud SQL. The migration improved uptime, availability, and data retention capabilities. Environment setup that previously required ten employees for three to four days now takes just two employees three days using GKE and Cloud Load Balancing.

Paving a path toward further improvements

ETC continues leveraging DoiT support for cost optimization and technical guidance. The company is exploring Anthos for application modernization and considering Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and IoT services. The new framework improves integration between infrastructure management teams and developers, enabling bigger thinking about cloud transformation.

What they say

Promptly

DoiT was a true partner, not a vendor. They helped us understand the problem, refine the vision, and build something production-ready far faster than we could have on our own. Their expertise, responsiveness, and commitment made all the difference.

Dr. Anish Kapur, Founder & CEO, Promptly

Extenda Retail

DoiT's Customer Success and Forward Deployed Engineering teams work very closely with us. The regular sessions with our CSM keep us focused on the right priorities, and the FDEs provide the deep technical guidance we need to validate decisions and optimize our environment. That combination has been genuinely valuable for us.

Alexander Lundberg Santos, Platform Engineer at Extenda Retail

Monta

When we started working with DoiT, we deployed Flexsave to save time and reduce complexity. We still use it today. But what really stands out is the expert support. Having someone to collaborate with on deep cloud cost topics, someone who really understands the nuances, is incredibly valuable.

Jesper Terkelsen, CTO at Monta

Wicked Reports

DoiT's Cloud Accelerator turned our AI idea into a shipped product, saving at least three months of development and delivering reliable, explainable insights our customers trust.

Scott Desgrosseilliers, CEO and co-founder, Wicked Reports

DaySmart

Working with DoiT gave us the speed of a startup and the rigor of an enterprise R&D lab. We launched an AI feature in ninety days with zero engineering lift, unified our cloud visibility across multiple products and built a foundation to scale AI responsibly.

Tim Green, SVP of AI, DaySmart

Vivaticket

Our AWS environment had grown rapidly, and complexity was outpacing control. DoiT helped us bring structure and clarity, aligning financial and technical decisions through a shared foundation.

DoiT didn't just give us a product – they gave us clarity. Cloud Diagrams has helped our teams understand what we're running, why we're running it, and where we can improve. The real-time visibility is a game changer for engineering, leadership, and everything in between.

Donnie Green, VP of Platform Engineering, Bloomerang

Sentric Music

With maybe 5-10 minutes, Ava had guided me right down into the low-level detail of the services that we were running in our compute environment, named the exact instances that were starting to chew through our money, produced a report for me that showed that this was almost a direct correlation to the cost growth that we were seeing, which meant that we were able to get on top of it pretty much immediately.

Stephen Roughley, Head of Engineering at Sentric Music

Atadex

With DoiT Cloud Intelligence™ managing our procurement and DoiT's engineers acting as an extension of my team, my costs are down, my efficiency is up, and my profitability is up
