Migration and optimization of a legacy application due to end of support and security risks as well as enhancement with new modern interfaces<\/h1>\n<\/div>

The task in this project was to migrate and modernize an over 20-year-old in-house development for the management of technical drawings due to the end of support and security risks and to create a new GUI.<\/p>\n

The BITS experts took on the following roles in this project: IT consulting, IT project management, IT architecture, software development and UX\/UI.<\/p>\n<\/div>

“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 coupled 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.”<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>

Challenge<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

One challenge was to modernize a legacy application that was more than 20 years old to ensure that it continued to meet the needs of the business.<\/p>\n

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 of the affected connected systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>
