Brights Named a Category Leader by 50Pros and Feedbax for Q3 2026

50Pros has named Brights a Category Leader for Q3 2026 in two service categories, DevOps & Infrastructure and Cloud Services, ranking it #1 among all agencies in both. The same quarterly ranking placed Brights in the top 10 across eight more categories, most notably at #2 for both Digital Transformation and CRM & Marketing Technology.

The recognition extends beyond 50Pros: Feedbax has also named Brights a 2026 Top Company for both Machine Learning and Chatbot Development.

What the 50Pros ranking measures

50Pros is a B2B directory where companies compare and hire agencies. At the end of each quarter, it ranks every listed agency within each service category by a Brand Strength score.

The #1 agency in a category becomes that quarter's Category Leader. Agencies ranked 2nd through 10th receive a Top 10 award, and those ranked 11th through 50th receive a Top 50 award.

50Pros does not publish the formula behind Brand Strength. For its directory rankings, it states that it weighs client reviews, response time, profile completeness, and overall engagement.

Why cloud and DevOps came out on top

Most cloud and DevOps work at Brights starts with a system that already has users. The business cannot pause while the underlying infrastructure changes, so the migration must happen with everything still running.

Brights’ case study: PMI cloud migration

For Philip Morris International (further PMI), Brights moved databases, web applications, and integration services from legacy virtual servers to AWS. PMI’s core business processes depended on these solutions, so each had to remain fully operational throughout the move.

• Step-by-step migration plan: The team broke down each product, upgraded outdated components, and selected the right tools for each step of the migration.

• Full stack transfer: Workloads on IIS, MSSQL, Active Directory, and shared folders moved to Amazon EC2, ECS, MSSQL RDS, S3, and other AWS services.

• Automated delivery: New CI/CD pipelines run on Bitbucket, Jenkins, and JFrog Artifactory, with infrastructure provisioned through Terraform and Ansible.

• Reliability and security: CloudWatch monitoring, automated backups, and access control keep the new environment stable and protected.

• Business outcome: PMI now runs on infrastructure that scales with demand, relies less on costly outdated hardware, and is reachable from anywhere in the world.

Brights’ case study: website development for the major esports organization

Brights built the website for NAVI, the Ukrainian esports organization, as the main hub for its fans. Esports sites are frequent DDoS targets, and an attack during a live match reaches the most fans at once. The site needed protection that holds up under its heaviest traffic.

• Fan hub: News, match results, player profiles, a match calendar, Twitch broadcasts, and a forum, all on one site.

• Cloudflare-based DDoS protection: A custom protection system filters attack traffic before it reaches the site.

• Peak-load capacity: The site handles up to 20 million simultaneous requests during match broadcasts.

• Business outcome: Fans can follow matches without interruption, even at the busiest moments.

Feedbax: Top Company for Machine Learning and Chatbot development in 2026

Feedbax is a B2B review platform for IT service providers. Its Top Company badge goes to the 20 highest-ranked companies in a directory by Feedbax Score. The score combines verified client reviews, with recent reviews weighted more heavily, and delivery evidence such as case studies and specialization.

To qualify for a directory at all, a company needs more than five client reviews and at least one case study in that service area.

Brights received the 2026 Top Company badge in three directories:

• Machine Learning, covering machine learning development such as predictive models and recommendation systems

• Chatbot, covering AI assistants and chatbots built into client products and internal tools

• .NET Development, covering ASP.NET development of web applications and back-end systems

Brights’ case study: An AI consultant for HR and accounting questions

Kadroland and 7eminar are twin training and consulting platforms, one for HR professionals and one for accountants. Their human consultants could only take so many questions at a time, worked only during business hours, and fell behind at peak times. Brights built an AI consultant widget for both websites that expands expert advice without growing the team.

• Proof of concept first: Before building the widget, the team tested the idea as a messenger bot. The client’s experts tried it on 250 questions about tax and personnel law and rated 80% of the answers excellent.

• Familiar interface: A ChatGPT-style UI, delivered for both platforms in two weeks, lets users start without lengthy onboarding.

• Multi-agent architecture with RAG: Specialized agents handle different types of questions. They draw answers from a knowledge base that is easy to update as laws and regulations change.

• Built to scale: Kubernetes on Hetzner supports thousands of users at once, with 99%+ availability and responses in under 90 seconds.

• Business outcome: The MVP launched on both platforms in three months. The widget answers questions 24/7, and human experts step in when users need clarification or personalized advice. This lets the client handle far more consultations without hiring more people.
