Our Approach

We analyzed all access points of the old CRM system and identified integrations and interactions between components. A facade was developed over the new CRM system to communicate through APIs. We managed data migration from the legacy system and integrated the new system with websites. Custom components were built to replace unavailable customizations in the new CRM system, and asynchronous solutions were created to capture and update shipping order statuses in the new CRM system.

Evolving as a strategic partner by taking end-to-end ownership

ValueLabs has simplified complex project management by providing end-to-end solutions including a project manager, business analyst, development team, test team, and DevOps team. This has improved project speed and quality through better communication and collaboration. A dedicated technical architect, project manager, and development and testing leads oversee constant improvements to technology and processes, resulting in project growth and higher customer satisfaction.

Enhanced performance through Legacy System Modernization

ValueLabs suggested and implemented an Umbraco CMS-based solution to migrate eight legacy websites from Ektron, improving page response times and increasing conversion rates. The solution provided low-cost, high-performing applications with enhanced security and customized features to meet business needs. We added a security layer to Umbraco’s default module and resolved performance issues with ESB connectivity. Our team used ASP.NET Identity for enhanced security and external authentication provider options. Flexible deployment methods doubled the frequency of deployments, and SEO-friendly features improved Google rankings. The migration saved significant licensing costs.

Streamlining Migration and Integration with the new CRM System

To optimize the complex process of migrating and integrating a new CRM system, we conducted a thorough analysis of the old system and identified all access points, integrations, and interactions. Our experts developed a facade for communication with the new CRM through APIs. ValueLabs played a critical role in migrating data and integrating the new system with websites.

We built custom components to compensate for unavailable customizations, and asynchronous solutions were prepared to capture shipping order statuses. The result was a 40% reduction in onboarding time, thanks to the new CRM system’s scalability and maintainability. The web interface facilitated configuring rules and validating accurate actions. We created a reusable ICX service that reduced code duplications and increased deployment flexibility. Overall, the process optimized the migration and integration of the new CRM system.

Business Impact

Our team helped the multinational TV provider improve their web interface by simplifying the content configuration and ensuring accuracy. We created a reusable ICX activity service to reduce code duplication and increase deployment flexibility. Our efforts improved the reports, reduced execution time, and enabled accessibility through the SSRS web URL. The flexible deployment methods doubled deployment frequency, saving significant licensing costs by migrating from Ektron to Umbraco.
