Events portal rescue

When the original developer announced retirement from the project, that meant no support, no updates and no roadmap for the system to grow with the business.

Pivotal to our Client is their Events Portal. We took over the codebase, worked through what was there, modernised the underlying technology and gave the interface a facelift while keeping all existing functionality intact.

The business did not have to rebuild from scratch or switch platforms mid operation.

We became their ongoing technical partner for support and continued feature development.

Outcome

  • Business Continuity
  • Restore C# .NET Application
  • On-going development partnership

How we help?

Discovery First
We start with the problem, not the platform. What is breaking, why is it slow and what is costing your team time they should not be losing.

Understanding
We spend time with the right people because a system built on an understanding of your data is considerably more effective than one built around process.

Realistic Delivery
Swift development in stages to let your team acclimatise before introducing the next stage, however what gets built first addresses the core of the problem.

The system goes live when it's ready to make a positive difference.

Who we help?

Businesses whose developer has gone
Retired developer, an agency closed or the relationship simply ended. If you're left holding a system with limited support, please contact us because we can help.

Off-the-shelf did not solve the original problem
Off the shelf software is often built for broader workflows to reach more customers, and if your operation sits outside that, the gaps start to show quickly. Your team will compensate with spreadsheets, manual checks or rely on one person's memory, where ultimately the original problem gets moved rather than resolved.

Complex workflow, compliance and regulation
Our clients usually have strict adherence to compliance and regulation where off-the-shelf software hits a wall. The complexity of what they do requires something built around how they operate.

What happens next?

A conversation
We start by understanding where the friction is and what a working system would actually change for your team.

Discovery
Calls with the right people, develop an understanding of how your data flows and a clear proposal demonstrating we have understood you and the issues our solution will resolve.

Solution
We identify 80% of the system to a point where it's live and making a genuine difference and then build in refinement as you are using it.

Refinement and New Ideas
Real usage always surfaces things a specification can't. Most of our client relationships run for years because the first build tends to open up the next problem worth solving.

 

Not sure whether to rescue or rebuild?

Before you commit to either, it helps to know exactly what you're dealing with.

We offer a fixed-price technical audit of your existing system. We will tell you what is there, what the risks are, and what a realistic rescue plan looks like, including budget and timescale.

You get a clear picture of your options and a honest basis for making the decision.

Initial Consultation is free

If you proceed with the rescue work, the audit fee is credited against the project cost.
