Outdated Finance Software Slowed Growth

A financial services company managing complex investment portfolios and subject to strict regulatory requirements faced challenges with its core finance software. The outdated solution was crucial for managing financial transactions and project finance software processes but struggled with performance bottlenecks and high operating costs. The backend relied on an older version of Node.js, while Oracle database licensing costs restricted scalability. These issues increased security risks and maintenance efforts, ultimately slowing financial management project workflows.

The goal was to modernize the custom financial software development solution without disrupting ongoing operations, while preserving existing integrations with finance platforms like Unit4. The project focused on:

  • Frontend Enhancement: Updating React Components While the finance software used React, it operated on an outdated version. We upgraded the affected modules and UI components to the latest React version, enhancing performance, stability, and laying the foundation for future development.
  • Backend Migration to TypeScript: The backend previously ran on vanilla JavaScript, which posed risks in complex financial calculations. We migrated the codebase to TypeScript, alongside updating Node.js and switching to pnpm for dependency management. This improved stability, reduced errors, and streamlined future finance software development.
  • Database Migration: Oracle to MSSQL To reduce costs and improve performance, we transitioned from Oracle to Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL). This migration led to lower licensing costs and improved compatibility with the company's Microsoft infrastructure, enabling greater scalability for finance software projects.
  • Test Environment Setup To enable safe deployment of future updates and extensions, we established a dedicated testing environment. This mirrors production systems and allows for the evaluation of new features or changes in finance management projects without business disruption.

Results: Stronger Finance Software and Smoother Operations

Slow performance

High operating costs

Complex maintenance

The finance software development project delivered measurable improvements:

  • Process Optimization: Financial transactions and reporting accelerated significantly, particularly during month-end closings and complex data processing.
  • Cost Reduction: Migrating to MSSQL lowered database licensing costs, freeing up budget for future project finance software improvements.
  • Improved Stability: Transitioning to TypeScript and updating Node.js reduced bugs and facilitated easier maintenance.
  • Secure Updates: The test environment ensured software updates and regulatory changes could be validated beforehand, preventing costly disruptions.
