Modernizing Critical Operations with ACI’s Cloud-First Approach
Learn how ACI Infotech helped a global packaging company modernize legacy applications with a cloud-first Azure approach, boosting performance and productivity.
Key Results
The Challenge
The client is a global manufacturer and distributor of protective packaging solutions used across manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing operations. Following a recent divestiture, the organization needed to rapidly stabilize and modernize its technology landscape by adopting cost-efficient cloud platforms and scalable applications capable of supporting uninterrupted day-to-day operations while enabling future growth.
Post-divestiture, the client faced significant pressure to modernize its application ecosystem and establish an independent, scalable IT foundation. During its ERP transformation initiative, the organization identified that its legacy custom order processing and invoicing system that is built on outdated ASP architecture had become a major operational bottleneck.
Some of its key limitations include:
Slow invoice generation and order dispatch cycles
Rigid workflows unable to accommodate evolving business processes
Heavy reliance on manual interventions and workarounds
Limited reporting and visibility into transaction status
Outdated user interface impacting productivity and adoption
Lack of structured environments for development, testing, and deployment
The client required a rapid yet reliable modernization approach that would minimize disruption while improving performance, usability, and reporting.
Our Solution
ACI Infotech executed a complete re-architecture of the legacy order processing application using its proprietary Cloud Application Development Framework. The outdated ASP system was rebuilt into a modular, scalable, and high-performance platform aligned with modern enterprise standards.
Core business logic was redesigned, missing source code was reconstructed, and database schemas were optimized to improve speed and reliability. The user interface was transformed with a responsive, intuitive design that streamlined workflows and reduced manual effort.
Advanced dashboards and reporting capabilities were introduced to provide real-time visibility into orders and invoicing. The application and database were migrated from on-premises infrastructure to Microsoft Azure (IaaS), with secure integration to the existing ERP system.
ACI also established a structured SDLC with dedicated development, QA, and staging environments that bring governance, quality control, and release discipline to the client’s application landscape.
