THE CHALLENGE
- Business processes and information management systems were inefficient, cumbersome and needed to be automated.
- Needed a flexible ongoing product development partnership, rather than multiple full-time staff members.
THE SOLUTION
- Improved test coverage from 0 to 80% while reducing technical debt applying SOLID principles.
- Migrated current Javascript functionality to AngularJS.
- Created custom add-ons for ExpressionEngine then updated it from version 2 to version 3.5.4
- Improved server side architecture by splitting responsibilities into standalone servers.
THE IMPACT
- Improved partner relations thanks to information being more easily shareable, reliable, and timely.
- Contract management and booking agreements were improved due to automation and elimination of audits, training manuals, and trivial tasks.
