Project Solution

KnubiSoft analyzed and patched legacy code, attempted updates to meet platform requirements, and ultimately rewrote parts of the application—converting a Java app to C#. They developed a prototype, rebuilt apps from scratch where necessary, set up a virtual server to host application data, and coordinated releases including an updated Android version. The vendor also handled site migrations to WordPress/Django and provided ongoing development and maintenance.
