Success Story

The client is an enterprise legal spend and matter management software provider serving legal departments globally. Their cloud-based platform enables in-house teams to manage matters, outside counsel relationships, invoices, and legal spend.

The client’s custom field configuration module had been operating on a deprecated Java UI framework for over a decade. It was the highest bug-reported area on the platform and was blocking a critical infrastructure upgrade. Key challenges included:

• Deprecated wicket framework that prevented an upgrade from Java 8 to Java 17.
• Admin page load times of 2 to 3 minutes with frequent server errors.
• Lack of visibility into staged field changes before publishing.
• Security vulnerabilities that could not be patched without a complete rewrite.
• A user interface that was misaligned with current platform design standards. 

• Modernized the admin page by rewriting the legacy interface from scratch, eliminating the dependency on the deprecated framework.
• Provided selective publish ability, giving administrators clear visibility into staged changes before anything goes live.
• Delivered the full custom field lifecycle across five object types: Matters, Invoices, Law Firms, Journal entries, and Matter Participants.
• Redesigned every migrated page to meet current platform UI standards, resulting in a consistent and intuitive experience for administrators.
• Moved all business logic into shared services, decoupling the platform from any Java runtime dependency.

• 90% bug reduction was achieved in the module that previously had the highest bug volume.
• 25-30% increase in development efficiency through AI Copilot integration.
• Java 8 to 17 upgrade path was successfully unblocked.
