A bit about JUST AUTO

Providing successful advertising solutions for more than two decades, the JUST AUTO network services the needs of buyers and sellers, for a full range of brands covering general and niche automotive markets.
What JUST AUTO needed
JUST AUTO had developed a new portal for its consumer base. Moving into the web market had interesting challenges for Just, including an unclear capacity model. The non-functional requirements had an impact on budget allocation that needed to be resolved.
How base2Services delivered
base2Services was engaged to determine the architecture requirements of the cloud based solution and provide the capabilities for JUST AUTO to scale with consumer demand. base2Services provided an architecture that could scale on demand based on trigger events from the monitoring platform. This approach meant that JUST AUTO could allocate a small budget to maintain the site presence during off peak periods and allow for growth as required.
We know continued technology innovation is key to maintaining our lead in new markets and strategies in the auto classifieds space." "We got more than we expected though.
