What We Faced
Challenge
As part of a corporate technology modernization initiative, the company upgraded its legacy web server applications used by HR and other departments.
Existing legacy applications were not compatible with the new upgrade and offered an outdated user experience.
The legacy applications were designed with hard-coded fields and values which made it very difficult for employees to enter data. They were only supported by older web browsers with no support for mobile devices. As a result, they also desired to migrate their applications.
