Our client, a leading provider of IT and financial services in the healthcare sector, offers a highly customizable web platform widely used across skilled nursing facilities, inpatient rehab centers, and associated management organizations throughout the U.S. However, as their business processes grew in complexity, the limitations of the existing AngularJS codebase became evident. To address this, the management team decided on a complete platform transformation.
The platform featured a .NET backend paired with an AngularJS frontend, requiring simultaneous upgrades to both components. Given the significant scope of the project, our team began by crafting a detailed migration strategy. This included managing the app’s modular structure, ensuring seamless operation of the existing AngularJS app to avoid downtime, refactoring legacy code, and rewriting outdated components in Angular.
Our first priority was upgrading the backend to the latest .NET version, providing a robust foundation for the migration. Next, we focused on transitioning the AngularJS frontend to Angular 11, which also involved a complete UI redesign. Rewriting the app from scratch was the best approach to retain its functionality and business value. By taking an incremental migration approach, we delivered updated features progressively, ensuring uninterrupted operations for end-users.
The result is a state-of-the-art system built with Angular 11, featuring improved performance and reduced maintenance complexity. Refactoring over 65,000 lines of AngularJS code optimized resource use and enhanced the platform’s overall efficiency, delivering measurable value to both the client and their users.
