One of the biggest challenges a company with a legacy application faces when deciding to update their technology is: How to balance the efforts between building the new platform vs supporting and bringing new meaningful features to the legacy version in the meantime, so that users don’t spend a long period without any improvements.
For that transition to be successful, the company needs to count on the expertise and strong development skills that will allow for the legacy application to still be well-served with great experience, even with partially allocated resources to it.
SkyCentrics is currently navigating this dual-track development journey:
- They are building their new smart-home platform from the ground up.
- At the same time, they are continuing to support and update with new features, a legacy portal that has been in use for over a decade by active customers.
This creates a complex environment, where deep knowledge of the application and high levels of expertise are required to be able to develop new features, while providing continuous updates, bug fixes, and performance improvements. SkyCentrics needs a development partner who can handle both tracks without missing a beat.
