Project Summary

Sunstar, a global provider of oral care solutions, hired Snowdog to maintain legacy Magento Commerce for two smaller brands. Snowdog assessed prior work, maintained Magento 1.x, implemented updates to extend functionality and upgrade the customer experience, and migrated legacy infrastructure to AWS. Their work ensured zero downtime during the migration and met internal SLAs with fast response times.

Key Challenges

  • Maintain extremely old version of Magento (Magento 1.x) for smaller brands
  • Find a certified Magento Commerce expert able to support the legacy platform until migration

Project Deliverables

  • Legacy Magento 1.x maintenance
  • Code updates to extend functionality
  • Customer experience upgrades
  • Migration of infrastructure to AWS
  • Project management and issue tracking via Redmine

Project Solution

Snowdog assessed the work of a previous agency for two global smaller brands running Magento 1.x, evaluated what needed to be done, and maintained the legacy code. They managed updates to extend functionality and improve the customer experience, made the required code changes and maintenance, and migrated the infrastructure from another AWS environment. The engagement included streamlined points of contact (a project manager and one contractor) supported by a backend team of around five people.

Project Outcome

  • No downtime or disruption in service during migration
  • End users were unaware of the code migration
  • Respected internal SLA and provided an offer within two days
  • Immediate response to urgent issues (within 24 hours)
  • Work completed on time and within budget
