How Fiduciary Financial Services scaled moneyGPS with Cevo’s Co-Ops model

Having played a key role in the initial development and launch of the moneyGPS platform, Cevo was well-positioned to continue supporting Fiduciary Financial Services on their growth journey. With deep knowledge of the platform’s architecture and operational context, Cevo transitioned seamlessly into a long-term partnership through its Co-Ops engagement model, providing ongoing support, enhancement and optimisation as the business scaled.

Cevo’s Co-Ops model combines the structure and dependability of managed services with the flexibility of an agile, value-driven retainer. Through the managed services component, Cevo ensured the moneyGPS platform operated securely, efficiently and reliably. This involved proactive security monitoring, cost optimisation, identity and access management, incident response, and oversight of change management and platform environments, all underpinned by DevSecOps and AWS best practices. All AWS backups consistently succeeded, with DynamoDB point-in-time recovery (PITR) enabled to ensure data recoverability. Synthetic canary monitoring confirmed consistent uptime, and no critical CloudWatch alarms were reported during the period, highlighting platform stability.

In parallel, the Co-Ops retainer provided a pool of engineering hours each month that could be flexibly applied to application development, DevSecOps uplift or advisory work. This model allowed Cevo to deliver continuous enhancements to the moneyGPS application without the delays or overhead associated with traditional project cycles. This provided the flexibility for the Cevo Co-Ops team to work closely with Fiduciary Financial Services to rapidly deliver new features, refine existing capabilities and keep the platform aligned with user expectations and evolving market conditions. This was particularly successful at supporting Fiduciary Financial Services to continue minor development work on the moneyGPS platform when responsiveness to the market was required, but the need for full-time development capabilities was not warranted.

To support this ongoing evolution of the moneyGPS platform, the Co-Ops team actively collaborated with key stakeholders at Fiduciary Financial Services to maintain a prioritised and actionable backlog of enhancements. Leveraging Cevo’s broader technical expertise, the team helped shape future initiatives that were strategically aligned with business goals, adhered to technical best practices and addressed the evolving needs of moneyGPS users, In addition, Cevo guided Fiduciary Financial Services through the expansion of new development environments and provided a roadmap for enrolling the legacy moneyGPS account into AWS Control Tower. This step will consolidate governance, enable AWS Config, and strengthen security guardrails across the platform.
