Project Summary

Kanda Software maintained a Silverlight-based application for a management consulting firm and developed HTML UI screens for a modern platform. They provided maintenance, bug fixes, Azure support, new feature development, and API and UI improvements while keeping the legacy system operational. The new HTML-based solution launched and Kanda assisted in transitioning development to the client's internal team, delivering organized processes, clear communication, and reliable support.

Key Challenges

Keep the existing Silverlight-based software running and usable
Transition the product off Silverlight to a modern HTML-based platform
Support variable, time-sliced resourcing needs typical of a consultancy
Migrate client accounts and transition development to an in-house team

Project Deliverables

Bug fixes and maintenance
Azure installation and supervision
New feature development
API improvements
HTML-based UI equivalents (modern platform)
Ongoing Silverlight support and transition assistance

Project Solution

Kanda Software provided ongoing maintenance and development for a Silverlight-based product hosted on Microsoft Azure. The vendor performed bug fixes, supervised the Azure installation, took over the codebase for active development, built new features, cleaned up unneeded functionality, and improved the API and UI. They also developed HTML equivalents of the Silverlight interfaces as part of a parallel modern platform and managed hand-offs and transition activities to the client's internal team while maintaining the legacy system until cutover.

Project Outcome

Kanda kept the software running successfully as Silverlight support degraded
They created a downloadable version that avoided browser dependence
The client launched and is up and running on the non-Silverlight platform
Kanda assisted in moving client accounts to the new platform and transitioning development to the internal team
Improved project management and communication through Jira and responsive support
