Challenge

Control.IT pioneered with bison.box in 1995 and, with zero competition, introduced it to the market solidly. Still, it remains the company’s leading product.
The client turned to us upon recommendation with a request for transforming its successful application into a SaaS solution. The main task was to re-architecture the infrastructure for more flexibility, shift it to the Cloud, and modernize UI/UX while keeping database structure changes to a minimum.
Solution

Solution

We’ve built complete infrastructure from scratch moving the database to the Azure cloud, which was chosen for its security and reliability. Some core application parts were set as NuGet packages.
Existing desktop features were modified and updated while front-end and API were created from scratch. Now the product has an intuitive and consistent interface and performs faster due to the cloud storage.

Main Features Modified:

  • Excel support
  • Fuel and Proda integrations
  • Reporting
  • Sharable smart lists
