Project Summary
Fingent modernized a 25-year-old, Windows XP–based legacy application for a tax-deferment intermediary by migrating the system to AWS and building a scalable, web-accessible solution. The engagement (May 2020–Mar. 2021) replaced an on-premise, VMware-hosted desktop app and enabled remote access to data and document generation. Communication and project management were strong throughout, and the client reported the solution met expectations with few issues.
Key Challenges
- Replace a 25-year-old legacy application running on VMware/Windows XP
- Remove the lack of online functionality and enable remote access
- Deliver modernization within time and budget constraints (some features postponed)
Project Deliverables
- Migrated legacy desktop application to AWS
- Web-accessible software and remote access to data
- Scalable architecture designed for future growth and client self-service
Project Solution
Fingent assessed the client's legacy, stand-alone desktop application and migrated the system and data to Amazon Web Services, enabling remote access and web-based workflows. They delivered a scalable architecture designed to support future features (including a client-facing portal) while deferring lower-priority developer work due to time and budget constraints. The vendor worked with a primary point of contact and managed the engagement with tools such as OpenProject and weekly Zoom meetings.
Project Outcome
- The project was very successful and met expectations
- Users can process information, generate documents, and access client data remotely
- Improved project communication and management via OpenProject and weekly meetings
