The Solution
DEQ didn’t just want technical expertise – they required innovative and creative developers that could meet the tight deadline to upgrade their legacy oracle forms application to a cloud ready architecture. The solution required that the application maintain the same functionality and provide a similar look and feel to avoid a deep learning curve by the DEQ Staff.
Through our dedicated team model, we provided DEQ with a team of experts (1) Application Architect, (2) Fullstack Developers, (1) UI\UX developer, 1 QA Tester and one Project manager to help transform their legacy application.
Technology Stack
The Outcome
All 4 major functions in the WARD application which included Assessments, Cause Tracking Implementation, Library modules were rewritten in less than 6 months so that the application could be hosted in Azure. We also built them an automated CI\CD deployment pipeline with automate test cases.
