Migration and optimization of a legacy application due to end of support and security risks as well as enhancement with new modern interfaces
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.
The BITS experts took on the following roles in this project: IT consulting, IT project management, IT architecture, software development and UX/UI.
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 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.”

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.
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.
Realization
The project was implemented in an agile manner according to the Scrum method and included several steps: from analysis and preliminary work to 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 everyone involved worked closely together to ensure the project was completed successfully.
New interfaces were implemented, security protocols updated and the performance of the application optimized. To make the application more user-friendly and intuitive, the GUI was revised.
