Project Summary

Saratoga rewrote legacy code to develop the latest iteration of a cloud-hybrid supply chain management platform and now serves as the client's core development team, working on new features and R&D. They worked closely with internal stakeholders, delivered the first version on time and under budget, integrated into the client's operations, and continue to support ongoing development despite an initial learning curve.

Key Challenges

  • Resurrect and modernize a shelved third-generation product to match previous functionality
  • Staff augmentation with expertise in mission-critical, 24/7 high-throughput applications
  • Ensure zero downtime and DB2 compatibility while remaining database independent and cloud-compatible

Project Deliverables

  • Rewritten legacy codebase
  • Java-based cloud-hybrid management platform (first version)
  • Open, database-independent architecture
  • Compatibility with DB2 and cloud providers (Azure, Google Cloud)

Project Solution

Saratoga provided a development team to rewrite portions of the client's legacy codebase into modern technology. They translated business requirements into functional requirements, implemented the code in Java, and ensured the product met non-negotiable prerequisites such as zero downtime and DB2 compatibility while remaining database independent. The team built the platform to be compatible with various cloud providers (e.g., Azure, Google) and deployable on the customer's chosen stack. They launched the first version and continue to support ongoing R&D and architectural opening to add new features.

Project Outcome

  • Met delivery dates and stayed within budget
  • Launched first version and received positive customer feedback
