The Challenge
When we began working with CarePoint, the system was relying on outdated technology stacks Drupal 8 on the backend and Angular 9 on the frontend. This posed multiple challenges related to performance, security, and the ability to scale the application efficiently.
Additionally, the platform lacked integration with modern third-party tools like Zoho, and had limited support for continuous deployment. The outdated architecture was also becoming a bottleneck for delivering new features and improvements.
Key challenges included:
- Outdated versions of Drupal and Angular
- Security vulnerabilities and poor performance
- Manual deployment processes and limited automation
- No direct CRM integration for sales and support workflows
Our Approach
To future-proof the platform and align it with modern development standards, we executed a comprehensive upgrade and optimization strategy. We began by upgrading Drupal from version 8 to latest version, significantly improving security, flexibility, and developer experience. The Angular front end was upgraded to version 16, providing faster load times, improved state management, and better support for modular components.
The WordPress website was rebuilt with a focus on responsive design, accessibility, and SEO optimization. We also integrated Zoho CRM for streamlined lead management and client support. A robust CI/CD pipeline was implemented to support faster, automated deployments and reduced development overhead.
Technical improvements included:
- Upgraded core stack Drupal and Angular.
- Zoho CRM integration for marketing and support workflows
- Continuous Integration and Delivery setup
- Use of MariaDB for structured data and MongoDB for unstructured data
- JasperReports integration for custom IQCP reports
