Updating a Legacy Platform

Sigli & Government Agency

OVERVIEW

Sigli worked with a public sector client to modernise and expand one of its core web applications. The platform is used to manage a healthcare education and assistance outreach programme. After a rigorous update to the app, our client was able to expand its outreach, process greater volumes of data, and better identify underserved groups. It saw improvements across a range of measures, including faster report generation, higher user satisfaction and reduced downtime.

Client Overview

Our client runs an outreach initiative that provides education and assistance to children and low-income individuals to help them access free and subsidised healthcare. 

The programme is responsible for a wide range of activities, from distributing flyers to working with local businesses to inform employees 
of available options.

The Problem : An Internal Platform That Wasn’t Fit for Purpose

The web application used by our client to deliver and track health-related outreach is fundamental to its day-to-day operations.  

Without it, they would be unable to help low-income groups access health programmes like Medi-Cal and Healthy. Given the fact that one in four children in the area covered are uninsured, it’s difficult to overstate the importance of the initiative. 

However, prior to Sigli’s involvement, the platform was outdated and lacked important data functionality. If this had been left unresolved, it would have impacted reporting accuracy and, as a result, severely limited our client’s ability 
to fulfil its mission of delivering community-based healthcare education and assistance. 

The Process: Understand, Stabilise, Innovate

After reviewing and clarifying the project brief, we assigned two full-stack engineers, one front-end engineer, and one quality-assurance specialist. In addition, a solutions architect and delivery manager ensured the project was completed on time and met Sigli’s high quality standards.

Sigli followed a four-step process:

Review the legacy system and IT infrastructure in detail

Set up systems to allow 
day-to-day operations 
to continue without interruption

Rewrite existing modules, expand platform functionality and implement security and compliance safeguards

Provide ongoing support 
and debugging

Project Team and Management Overview

Communication

Communication was via regular in-person and virtual meetings with key stakeholders at the DPH. We used email and WhatsApp as always-on channels. 

Project Management

We used scrum as the project framework, with a “product owner” (PO) who was in charge of overseeing the team and the main point of contact with the DPH. Regular “rituals” or “ceremonies” (as they are called in the scrum framework) included daily meetings, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

The Results: Powering an Evolving Outreach Initiative

Sigli delivered a range of functionality, operational efficiency, and user satisfaction improvements.

This meant that the outreach programme was able to expand its outreach, deliver higher-quality services and track progress towards its goals more effectively.

Here were the key project outcomes:

Updated several outdated platform modules to improve maintainability and performance

Upgraded backend logic and database processes to support wider healthcare coverage tracking and more detailed reporting

Implemented mechanisms that ensure comprehensive compliance (e.g., HIPAA-compliant handling of sensitive client data)

Reduced downtime (99.95% uptime over 12 months), especially during monthly and quarterly report creation

Built new user interface features for more intuitive data entry and outreach logging

Sigli has shown exceptional professionalism throughout the project. They completed all deliverables on time and have been instrumental in preparing our important outreach initiative for the successful provision of services in the future.”
