Customer Challenges

The client is looking to re-platform their OfficeSite product suite from PHP technology to Java technology. The OfficeSite product suite contains modules for lead generation   management, automated MLS updates, open houses, drip marketing (ProspectPro) etc. This product developed in PHP is stable however with a growing customer base and new services added it has become difficult to maintain and extend

Trigent's Solution

The solution is built on Java technologies using a layered approach that eases any new integration and extension of the application for new business needs. The entire PHP code was rewritten into JAVA. Client also required minimal or preferably no changes to the database layer.

SOA architecture and web services used to ensure integrations with enterprise or external applications. Light-weight Java components used to ensure the resulting application is high performing and scalable to accommodate high volume traffic.

Client Benefits

Trigent helped to meet the quality requirements   stringent deadlines to launch the redeveloped OfficeSite product suite.

• The standard layer architecture provides encapsulation ensuring a single layer can be implemented without having to know much about the other layers.
• Dependencies are minimized between layers so that a change to one would not have a huge impact on the other layers
• A highly scalable system ensures searching through the MLS feeds based on complex criteria specified by the consumer is quick and responsive.
• SOA and services layer provide a high degree of interoperability that can be leveraged to integrate with any external system.
