ScienceSoft's Approach to Taking Over IT Projects from Other Vendors
For us, the transition is not about changing hands — it's about elevating your project's potential with minimal disruption and maximum efficiency.
Here is how transitioning your development project may look:
1
We examine all the existing information about the project. If such information is unavailable or outdated, we thoroughly assess your infrastructure and software and document the existing architecture, dependencies, configurations, and customizations.
2
We establish a communication plan that outlines regular updates, meetings, and points of contact between our team and your stakeholders. This keeps you informed at every step and fosters collaborative problem-solving.
3
Our technical team reviews the code to understand the current state of your application. We evaluate code quality, maintainability, and security. Following this, we transfer the code repositories from the previous vendor's systems to our environment, ensuring that all intellectual property is secure.
4
We replicate or reconfigure your development, testing, and production environments within our infrastructure. This includes setting up servers, databases, and any necessary third-party services or tools. This step is crucial for ensuring compatibility and operational continuity, especially if the environments are actively being used and contain critical configurations or data. However, replication is not mandatory. You can provide us with access to the existing environments, if possible, or we can set up new ones if nothing has been launched yet.
5
If your project relies on CI/CD for rapid development and deployment, we integrate these processes into our workflow. We review the existing pipelines and adapt them to our systems as needed, ensuring that your release cycles continue without interruption. If you do not have existing pipelines or if they are insufficient, we can also establish new CI/CD pipelines or optimize the existing ones.
6
We conduct a comprehensive security audit of the existing setup and implement necessary enhancements or adjustments to meet your security and compliance standards. We have hands-on experience adhering to regulations and standards (e.g., HIPAA, SOC 2, ISO 27001).
