Migration of a Top Real Estate Company Web Application from .NET to PHP

Customer

The Customer is a large real estate company with over 100 offices. The main focus of the company is to offer such real estate services as development, rentals, sales, brokerage and investment consulting.

Challenge

The Customer had five .NET websites: Apartments, Country Real Estate, New Buildings, Rental, and Commercial Property. To reduce the expenses on development and maintenance, the Customer commissioned ScienceSoft to conduct legacy websites migration to PHP. The main challenge was to do this without any specification.

Solution

ScienceSoft team performed reverse engineering and created a specification from scratch. Using the collected data and the federal real estate database, ScienceSoft developed new websites. Additionally, ScienceSoft created a promo site constructor – a CMS that would automatically generate a page of the registered real estate agent.

Results

The Customer received fully-functional and cost-effective websites in the course of 6 months.
