Project Summary

Rubius has been engaged by a custom software company to modernize a legacy logistics platform by migrating C# WebForms applications to a .NET Core architecture and rebuilding multiple apps with a central API and Xamarin mobile clients. The vendor provided technology guidance, core development, and ongoing support; the client praised the team's quality, communication, and early delivery of a routing tool.

Key Challenges

  • Upgrade a C# WebForms version of the platform to a .NET Core set of applications
  • Obtain guidance on the best front-end and middleware technologies given company requirements

Project Deliverables

  • .NET Core applications replacing C# WebForms
  • Central service API to replace stored-procedure calls
  • Two Xamarin mobile applications
  • Consolidated web applications from ~30 apps
  • Technology stack and architectural recommendations

Project Solution

I was connected to one of the founders through a friend, and after several conversations felt they understood the requirements of the project, listened to my concerns. They provided additional insight in follow-up conversations which demonstrated that they really understood my goals and had put time into carefully considering options. Rubius also focuses on providing English speaking development talent which is incredibly helpful. The qualifications of their team are undeniable, but their communication skills really helps the project move forward quickly. The talent management team that is very responsive if any issues do arise. We need to upgrade a current C# webforms suite of applications. This included about 30 separate C# apps and two Xamarin mobile applications. The first step was to settle on an appropriate technology stack that the company could move forward with. The second step was to figure out what applications could be consolidated into single applications. Following that a central service api need to be designed to replace all the independent stored procedure calls. Then the rebuild began, taking into account bug fix and improvements to the original product. We have 3 people on the team, with additional people and resources available from Rubius on an add-hoc basis. We have a .Net Core/DB programmer handling most the VUE web front end and related services, we have a mobile developer building the two mobile apps as well as helping with backend programming. In addition we have a designer working on the mobile apps currently and will continue on the web UI.

Project Outcome

  • Development progress generally remained ahead of clients' rollout schedules
