How Websycraft took over support for a system built more than ten years ago and continues to extend it while preserving the way its users work.
The context
A system can be technologically dated and still have practical value for the people who use it. This is the situation with the platform for Bayer. Built more than ten years ago, it remains part of its users’ established working routines.
The challenge
The system uses an older architecture. A full replacement is outside the client’s current scope, and users are familiar with the existing solution. The task is to keep it working and add the functionality the client needs within the constraints of the existing platform.
Our role
Websycraft took over support for the existing system. We did not build the original platform. Our role today is to keep it operational and develop additions on top of its existing foundations, wherever the architecture and project scope allow.
