INVISTA needed to migrate a proprietary business-critical application but had no in-house expertise in the outdated FORTRAN codebase. The team estimated that not migrating the database to a modern language could lead to a loss of production efficiency.
Solution
End-to-End Managed Delivery
INVISTA turned to Toptal to fully manage the backend migration, while working in lockstep with their front-end team. Toptal assembled a high-performing team, including a Delivery Manager, a Technical Project Manager, a Technical Lead, a DevSecOps engineer, a QA lead, and experts in FORTRAN and Python.
Exceptional Talent & Expertise
Given the rarity of FORTRAN expertise, Toptal sourced talent with the skill set needed to analyze the outdated codebase; something the client was unable to source internally. The team conducted extensive discovery to understand the “black-box” system and develop a strategic project plan for immediate implementation.
Outcome
Seamless Modernization & Results
Toptal developed a sophisticated automated testing suite to validate the precision of the migrated system, giving INVISTA a high level of confidence in the accuracy of the end code. Additionally, by implementing a custom FORTRAN-to-Python transpiler, Toptal reduced project implementation costs by 15%, enabling INVISTA to reinvest in enhanced functionality.
Reduced Risks & Knowledge Transfer
The modernized back-end system is now maintainable by INVISTA’s developers, eliminating the need for future outsourcing and reducing long-term operational risks. Toptal ensured a smooth knowledge transfer, equipping INVISTA’s team to effectively manage and sustain the application.
