What should a project team agree on before moving deeply into Legacy Modernisation & Platform Transformation?

What should a project… | Legacy…

Before going deep into legacy modernisation & platform transformation, the project needs a shared view of the problem, the users, the important stakeholders and the current environment. As a part of this transformation ActewAGL identified that their Self Service Portal was in need of upgrading and improving, since existing service was running on an outdated version of Sitecore and JavaScript causing the platform to run very slowly. With the need for rapid development and deployment, as well as the ability to have a coordinated content publishing workflow with governance, the Annex team worked with GovCMS to setup a new website on the GovCMS SaaS platform in under 24 hours. Annex's published methods also make content, integrations, accessibility, operational workflow and delivery constraints relevant when they affect the outcome. That context allows the team to choose an approach without pretending the solution is known before discovery.

The connection matters because technical debt, migration, architecture, content and UX influence the same end-to-end experience. The resulting design system is now available and being used for the ActewAGL development and design teams to guide and speed up the delivery of their ongoing retail and pl…

Yes, that can be possible; Annex's published work includes delivery inside existing technical and organisational environments rather than only greenfield builds. Throughout our engagement Annex worked closely with ActewAGL developers to provide the team with tools and systems to deliver new features…
