Project Brief

In order to enhance security, improve performance, increase scalability, and facilitate quicker troubleshooting, Sigma has collaborated with the CorporateCARE team to upgrade their technical platform from Laravel 4.x to 9.x and migrate the website from Rackspace to AWS.

Business Needs And Challenges

Performance Issues plaguing their existing system. These issues hindered the smooth operation of their platform and hampered user experience.
The older versions of the Laravel framework that the client was utilizing had reached their end of support from the Laravel community. This lack of support posed significant risks and limitations to the company’s operations.
The older Laravel versions were incompatible with the latest Laravel packages, preventing the client from taking advantage of new features and functionalities.

The application’s lack of scalability further compounded the challenge, inhibiting the client’s ability to grow and adapt to changing market demands.
To add to the complexity, the outdated versions of PHP and MySQL caused incompatibility issues with most of the packages, hampering their development efforts.
The client’s website, powered by WordPress, also faced compatibility issues with the latest plugins due to its outdated version.

Solutions

To overcome these challenges and fulfill the client’s needs, Sigma proposed a comprehensive solution.

Upgrading and optimizing the WordPress installation and its accompanying plugins to the latest versions.
We recommended upgrading the client’s Laravel version from the outdated 4.x to the latest 9.x. not only provide access to the latest Laravel packages but also improve performance, security, and stability.
Our experts proposed high scalability architecture for the client’s technical platform to handle increasing traffic and accommodate future growth without compromising performance.

Migrating client’s server deployment from Rackspace to AWS with CI/CD implementation improved security measures and robust encryption capabilities.
Our experts enhanced security measures, performance, scalability, and the ability to quickly troubleshoot any issues that may arise.
The upgraded technical platform would also provide their administrators with greater control over managing content, empowering them to make necessary changes with ease.
