Challenge

The client embarked on a comprehensive journey towards modernizing its infrastructure and refining internal processes to align with modern standards. However, the scope of this transformation exceeded the capacity of their in-house resources, prompting the necessity for a proficient team of specialists. Considering that the operating industry of the client is defense, the highest security requirements made them employ in-house experts. However, large projects required expertise in a number of technologies the client’s team was not skilled in.

Solution

Initially, the primary focus was on the imperative task of upgrading the company's application from Delphi to C#. In response to the demanding requirementsto a team’s expertise, Ispirer Systems emerged as the preferred choice, meeting the company's stringent requirements with their expertise and efficiency.

The Ispirer team adeptly facilitated the migration from Delphi to C# leveraging their wealth of experience and the sophisticated automation capabilities inherent in Ispirer Toolkit. Our proficiency in managing such transitions, coupled with our extensive portfolio of successful projects in this domain, ensured a smooth and hassle-free migration process.

In light of the outstanding quality of work delivered by Ispirer, impressive expertise in C#, ASP.NET, Typescript, Angular, and React, the client invited the Ispirer team to work on internal projects, operating under an outsourcing model.

This expanded collaboration saw the augmented team actively involved in a spectrum of tasks, including but not limited to the development of new functionality for a web application, meticulous code refactoring initiatives aimed at optimizing performance and maintainability, and fixing bugs to enhance usability and user experience.

Subsequently, Ispirer specialists were included in the in-house team to work online on other projects aimed at modernizing critical components such as DynamoDB, Lambda functions, S3 storage, and the Simple Queue Service. Through systematic updates and enhancements, these modernization efforts bolstered the resilience, scalability, and efficiency of the client's infrastructure, positioning them for sustained growth and competitiveness in their respective market domains.
