EDUCATION & CARE2024 → 2025

Cortex — workforce orchestration across HR, rostering, identity, and service desk.

A national education and care provider whose HR, rostering, identity, and service-desk systems each maintained an independent version of staff data. Every staff change required manual coordination, and every pay cycle surfaced rostering conflicts. Ascent Minds designed and delivered Cortex on AKS — a Kafka-backed workflow platform that makes the resulting transactions automated, traceable, pay-run-aware, and self-healing under failure.

From on-prem Medical Director to Best Practice Premier on Azure.

An Australian GP group retiring Medical Director and its on-premises servers, migrating to Best Practice Premier on a production-grade Azure landing zone. The environment was sized to absorb the existing six clinics on day one and engineered to scale to sixty without re-architecture, with more than twelve external clinical integrations operating through a tightly controlled FQDN firewall.

ACCOUNTING · US2024 → 2025

A web and mobile platform for a US accounting firm to manage client onboarding and books.

A US-based accounting firm operated client onboarding, book intake, and day-to-day communications through email and shared drives. Ascent Minds delivered a web platform for the firm and a React Native mobile application for their clients — onboarding is self-serve, books are consolidated to a single repository, and bookkeepers are able to focus on accounting work rather than document collection.
