Project Summary

Wiser Technology (formerly Prime Holding JSC) has migrated an e-learning platform from server-based Microsoft/Flash infrastructure to a cloud-first architecture, building web applications that support streaming audio, video, voice and desktop-sharing via HTML5 and WebRTC. The vendor implemented Docker/Kubernetes-based infrastructure, modernized front-end and back-end stacks (Angular/Node.js and .NET/C#), and provided mobile, QA and UI/UX work. The client reports a long-term partnership, high integrity, effective project management, and a stable product developed over many years.

Key Challenges

The product was unstable, not cloud-based, and not scalable.
There was no automated code delivery and the system ran on fixed Microsoft servers using Flash.
The client required real-time multi-user conferencing with streaming audio, video, voice, and desktop-sharing using HTML5/WebRTC.
The infrastructure needed to be migrated to Dockerized containers and a custom Kubernetes environment.
The client needed database expertise, traditional web development, and full mobile capabilities.

Project Deliverables

Dockerized Kubernetes infrastructure
HTML5/WebRTC conferencing client
Angular/Node.js front-end
.NET/C# backend and admin client
Media server implementation
Mobile application implementation
CI/CD pipelines and automated deployments
Database management and API/middleware
Automated and manual QA and load testing
UI/UX designs and proofs-of-concept

Project Solution

The vendor was selected for their breadth of technical talent and long-term partnership characteristics. They organized a multifunctional team and implemented a cloud-first migration from fixed Microsoft servers and Flash to Dockerized containers in a custom Kubernetes environment. They developed HTML5/WebRTC conferencing client components and front-end work using Angular/Node.js, implemented mobile capabilities and media server functionality, and built backend systems in .NET/C# with database management, e-mail handling and API/middleware. They also established CI/CD pipelines, cloud infrastructure management, automated/manual QA and project management, and provided UI/UX design and proofs of concept.

Project Outcome

The platform became the client's core business ("This project IS our business").
A stable, long-term partnership with consistent team members (some with the team for the entire 10 years).
Improved release schedules leveraging the 7-hour time difference between teams.
High client satisfaction due to integrity, responsiveness, and the team’s ability to meet timeframes and solve complex issues.
