Intuto's roots go back to 2000. The company has changed a lot since then. Products evolve, people come and go, and there have been a few strategic pivots here and there. Today, Monday the 29th of June 2026, we switched off the last of the managed infrastructure that carried all of that history.
This isn't a technical post. We think it's worth celebrating the small wins out loud.
At its peak, the infrastructure that predated our current platform supported hundreds of domains and thousands of users. Up until recently it was running a range of products:
ILS, our legacy LMS, had an instance per customer, each with a staging environment.
ROMs, our Research Output Management System, had both an instance per customer mode, as well as a large multi tenanted instance.
Safe In-Store Pass, our long standing partnership with the Food & Grocery Council, lived in a heavily customised instance of ILS for years.
Then there were the ancillary things every long-running tech company seems to accumulate: file shares, virtual directories, supplementary apps that solved specific problems at specific moments that never quite went away.
We didn't directly sit down and plan to get rid of it all, we just kept making small well thought out decisions. A decade ago we started building Intuto as a SaaS product to replace ILS, and we successfully moved customers across one by one. More recently we migrated Safe In-Store Pass into Intuto as well. We found a new home for ROMs with a partner better placed to develop and support it while we focus on our core product. We slowly moved services that we still needed into managed infrastructure — Azure, Cloudflare Pages or R2. We wrote about moving Intuto off a Windows VM in 2025.
Each decision shrank the list. Each of them a milestone in their own right. The small wins, and the big migrations, were all carried by the whole Intuto team. All while trying to grow and improve our core product, Intuto.
At some point we looked up and realised there wasn't much left. Today we switch off the infrastructure running 26 years of business history, all in favour of the cloud. Cleaned, compressed and archived to cold storage.
Today, we're celebrating that as a massive win for the Intuto team.
