Situation

• A primary service offered by the Client is employment and income verification.
• The Client retains enormous amounts of data.
• The Client was in the process of being acquired by a large Financial Services company.
• Just before the Client was to be acquired, their sole developer left them.
• Only a zip file of what could be the latest source code was left for a new developer to access

Solution

• The team moved to an Agile methodology for handling each iteration through the project.
• The team expanded and split the environment from one web and database server, giving them a separate development and test environment.
• Utilizing Azure, a CD/CI pipeline was implemented, and the team migrated from TFS to Git for one-click deployments to production with rollback capabilities.
• Static code analysis with Fortify was implemented.
• The system was updated to provide support for expanded character sets.
• The team improved error handling and system messaging.
• Unit testing was implemented

Benefits

• Creating a separate development and testing environment eliminated downtime for the system and kept the Client up and running.
