Solution

Solution experienced a period of growth and structural change that affected the whole structure of the company. Among other factors, this growth implies the beginning of carrying out transactions in other countries. As a result, it looked for support in the IT area.

In this context, Epidata Consulting evaluated the existing architecture so as to know if the application was ready to undergo the change in an economically, efficiently and effective way.

The architecture evaluative project goals were the following:
• Analyze the technological updating impact (platform current versions).
• Analyze the application scalability, that is, the way in which it will perform in the future with the expected data volume and the transactions.
• Reveal the capacity to operate in new countries without reapplying the application installation.
• Measure the estimated impact of the expected modifications on the functionality.
• Calculate current and future maintenance cost.
• Relieve and document the current application architecture.
Once the goals were specified, Epidata Consulting provided guiding services, which covered the following requirements:
• Architecture requirements relieving (performance, availability, scalability, usability, etc), current and expected state of the application.
• Detailed evaluation of the current platform and implementation possibilities.
• Future platform analysis.
• High level documents with design and architecture alignments that make possible the subsequent reengineering and extension of the application functionality.
