Client's Testimonial

"The Developers.dev team was exceptional. Their CMMI 5 process and deep expertise in both .NET modernization and Azure cloud services were critical to our success. They didn't just migrate our system; they re-architected it for the future, making it more secure, scalable, and compliant. The project was a resounding success."

Sarah Jenkins, VP of Engineering, MedSecure Solutions.

Client Introduction

The client is a leading provider of electronic medical record (EMR) systems in the United States, serving over 500 hospitals and clinics. Their existing patient portal was built on a monolithic ASP.NET framework, which was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain, scale, and secure, posing significant compliance risks under HIPAA.

Problem

The client's legacy patient portal was hindering their ability to innovate. It suffered from poor performance, was vulnerable to modern security threats, and could not integrate with new third-party health services. The monolithic architecture meant that even small changes required a full-scale, risky deployment.

Key Challenges

Migrating a massive, complex system with zero downtime

Data Migration

Migrating millions of sensitive patient records (PHI) with zero data loss and in full compliance with HIPAA.

Ensuring compliance with strict financial regulations

Zero Downtime

Ensuring the existing portal remained operational for hundreds of thousands of daily users throughout the migration process.

Integrating with dozens of third-party financial institutions

Complex Integrations

Maintaining and then modernizing dozens of integrations with internal EMR systems, labs, and insurance providers.

Retraining their internal team to manage the new cloud-native environment

Regulatory Compliance

Building the new platform to meet and exceed the stringent security and privacy requirements of HIPAA.

Our Solution

Developers.dev assembled a dedicated DevSecOps Automation POD, including full-stack .NET experts, an Azure cloud architect, a database specialist, and a QA automation engineer.

🔍 Discovery & Architecture

We conducted a thorough audit of the existing application and designed a new microservices-based architecture to be deployed on Microsoft Azure.

🪜 Phased Migration Strategy

We implemented a strangler fig pattern, incrementally building new microservices to replace old functionality, routing traffic to the new services as they became stable.

🔐 Secure API Layer

We built a new, secure API gateway to handle all data transactions, ensuring all data in transit and at rest was encrypted.

✅ Automated Compliance

We leveraged Azure Policy and Security Center to automate compliance checks and continuously monitor the environment for security vulnerabilities.

Implementation and Execution

Set up Azure Environment

Set up a secure, HIPAA-compliant Azure environment using Infrastructure as Code (Terraform).

Containerization & Orchestration

Containerized the new microservices using Docker and orchestrated them with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

CI/CD Pipeline

Built a robust CI/CD pipeline using Azure DevOps to automate testing and deployment.

Data Migration Execution

Executed the data migration in carefully planned phases using Azure Data Factory.

Automated performance and penetration testing

Security Testing

Conducted rigorous penetration testing and vulnerability assessments before each major release.

Final cut-over during low-traffic windows

Documentation & Training

Provided comprehensive documentation and training to the client's in-house team.

Positive Outcome

📉 30% Reduction in Operational Costs

The move to a scalable, cloud-native architecture on Azure significantly reduced infrastructure and maintenance costs.

🛡️ Enhanced Security & Compliance

The new platform passed all security audits with flying colors, eliminating previous compliance risks.

⚡ 50% Faster Feature Development

The microservices architecture allowed the client's teams to develop, test, and deploy new features independently and much faster.

🚀 Improved Performance

Application response times were reduced by over 60%, dramatically improving the user experience for patients and providers.
