Success factor BITS team

“The smooth migration and optimization of this legacy application, which is over 20 years old, also relies heavily on the BITS team’s decades of experience and expertise in these technologies. Knowledge of the old systems paired with knowledge of modern architectures, technologies and interfaces was a decisive factor in carrying out the migration efficiently and securely without disrupting operations. We are delighted to have successfully completed this challenging project.”

Challenge

One challenge was to modernize a legacy application that was over 20 years old to ensure that it continued to meet the company’s requirements. Another challenge was the interaction with other systems and partner systems, which was very complex due to the many different interfaces to various departments and contacts. In addition, there were long release cycles for the connected systems concerned.

  • Modernization of a legacy application over 20 years old

  • Interaction with complex systems and partner systems

  • Long release cycles of the connected systems concerned

Realization

The project was implemented in an agile manner according to the Scrum method and comprised several steps: from analysis and preparatory work, project management and consulting to the development and revision of the UX/UI. First, a comprehensive analysis of the legacy application was performed to determine which parts of the application needed to be updated to minimize support and security risks. Likewise, it was decided which new functions should be added to the application. The results were then documented and a project concept was created from them. This was followed by detailed project planning with resource allocation, preparation of a schedule and determination of the budget. It was necessary to ensure that all stakeholders worked closely together to ensure the successful completion of the project. New interfaces were implemented, security protocols were updated, and the application’s performance was optimized. The GUI has been redesigned to make the application more user-friendly and intuitive.
