The Challenge

The client's customers have a large number of IT applications, databases, third-party applications, and infrastructure components - all on legacy platforms and programming languages, predominantly PHP. This impacted scalability to new business features, as existing bugs kept piling up. The client didn't have dedicated project management and quality assurance teams.
