The client

Our clients created a revolutionary healthcare staff scheduling software. The core idea was to develop streamlined technology that significantly enhanced the entire process of managing healthcare staff schedules and improving communication within healthcare institutions.


The challenge

Legacy system modernization in healthcare technology

Technology evolves at a rapid pace, and healthcare software must keep up to remain effective and competitive. The software medical professionals use has to be adaptable to emerging technologies, industry standards, and regulatory requirements.

As such, the challenge faced by our client’s team was multi-faceted. Our clients were looking to automate and modernize an outdated system to improve the efficacy of their scheduling software.

They needed to automate the build process for greater efficiency and reliability. Also, it was imperative to modernize the aging system they were using to ensure the incorporated software could meet the demanding needs of the modern healthcare industry.

Build automation with Azure DevOps for healthcare scheduling software

Automating the build process was crucial in accelerating development cycles, reducing human errors, and ensuring software releases could occur seamlessly and consistently.

Replacing the legacy system: enhancing healthcare technology

Legacy systems can pose numerous problems, such as compatibility issues, security vulnerabilities, and performance limitations. In the healthcare industry, where data accuracy and system reliability are paramount, relying on outdated technology stacks can result in operational inefficiencies and potential risks to patient care. Hence, there was a pressing need to revamp the entire system by leveraging the latest technology stack to ensure it could meet the ever-evolving demands of healthcare institutions.

Tizbi Solution

First, the Tizbi team performed a meticulous review of the existing system's internal components. This involved a deep dive into the architecture, codebase, and data structures to identify areas that required improvement.

To automate the build process, the team established Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Deployment (CD) pipelines using Azure DevOps. This allowed for automated code compilation, testing, and deployment, significantly reducing the manual effort required for these tasks.

Our client’s software underwent a complete overhaul of the old system using the latest technology stack. This included the adoption of Vue.js for the front end, .NET Core for the back end, and Microsoft SQL Server for the database.

In some cases, certain internal components had to be rewritten from the ground up to align with the new architecture and technology stack. This rewriting process aimed to eliminate legacy code issues, enhance system stability, and ensure that the software could fully leverage the capabilities of the modern technologies being employed.
