Project Summary

Merixstudio rebuilt an internal agency management system originally developed in ColdFusion by performing journey mapping and storyboarding and reimplementing the application in Python. Although external circumstances prevented final project completion, the vendor produced a strong application and maintained clear, frequent communication while demonstrating an understanding of the insurance industry.

Key Challenges

Legacy agency management system was built in ColdFusion, making it difficult to find resources to enhance or maintain it.
Need to rebuild the entire management system from the ground up using modern technology and clarify priorities to keep the project within budget.

Project Deliverables

Rebuilt agency management system in Python
Journey mapping and storyboarding artefacts
Wireframes and project documentation (Confluence)

Project Solution

Merixstudio analyzed the legacy ColdFusion system, ran journey-mapping and storyboarding workshops, identified priorities and enhancements, and rebuilt the agency management system using Python. The engagement included UI/UX design, front-end and back-end development, QA, and project coordination with weekly meetings and regular Slack/Jira communication. The team used Confluence and wireframing tools for documentation and design collaboration.

Project Outcome

Delivered an advanced application, though the project was not completed due to external circumstances.
Maintained clear, frequent communication using Slack, Jira, and Confluence throughout the engagement.
