Introduction

LOGS Network is a company dealing with legal cases and operating in Fintech. They provide attorneys and lawyers tools to deal with various litigations, including bankruptcy, fraud, etc. In addition, the client specializes in the legislation of every state. Eight years ago, a360inc was presented, an intermediary between LOGS Network and Avenga.

In a nutshell, a360inc is a leading technology and outsourcing solution to the industry’s top law firms, title agencies, mortgage companies, and investors. The platform’s mission is to radically change how businesses in process-laden industries manage their operations to reduce risk and optimize financial performance. Compliance-focused solutions span lender and legal technology, claims handling, title data, and notary services, including RON.

Although they have full-suite capabilities across the development ecosystem and a solid background in .NET and Salesforce, CoreValue Services’ affinity for collaboration and innovation is their greatest strength. Most vendors need detailed instructions to build a satisfactory product, but CoreValue Services only require a problem statement to develop a viable solution.

Challenge

a360inc partnered with Avenga to design a platform for legal case management in the residential mortgage industry. The system’s goal was to challenge the existing market leaders and become a new industry standard. In such a case, Avenga was taken to support the client’s existing solutions and develop new ones.

a360inc already owned four legacy case management systems with significant customer databases, but the systems had different deployment models, incompatible data schemas, and outdated user experiences. The client needed to create a new modern solution with reimagined case management experience and eventually migrate all their customers to the new system.

Due to the industry specifics, the solution was to be hosted within their own data center, but they intended to move it to the cloud as soon as their customers were ready.

Solution

Java

The Avenga team started with discovery workshops with subject matter experts in the existing case management systems to analyze functionality provided by the legacy systems. Based on the analysis results, we developed a set of requirements that cover the needs of the existing system’s stakeholders alongside new requirements realizing their vision for the unified system.

SaaS architecture with PHP

As the next step, we designed alternative architecture candidates based on primary system use cases and quality attribute requirements. After a trade-off analysis and POC experiments, we opted for a hybrid cloud-agnostic SaaS architecture that can be deployed either in an on-premise environment or in the cloud. The solution would utilize a combination of custom-developed and off-the-shelf microservices running on Kubernetes to decouple the system from the underlying infrastructure. IT, DEV, and QA environments were planned to be in the cloud to reduce the burden on their data center.

.NET

The team designed a domain model for core entities and mapped it to legacy systems’ data models. A migration plan was established to ensure the successful migration of all customers by maintaining migration scripts hand-in-hand with the evolution of the domain model.

Results

Avenga’s partnership with a360inc resulted in industry-level architecture documentation for a new extended case management system, including architectural views, technology trade-offs, POC results, etc. In addition, the client received two Customer Management System (CMS) platforms and one billing solution. Finally, the team also prepared a detailed multi-year implementation plan covering key activities, milestones, roles, and costs of iterative solution implementation and phased customer migration. Putting all together, the presented solutions help lawyers process their cases with ease.
