Results

We completed the project on time and within budget. Clients had successfully rebrand their company image by having latest responsive HTML5 sites managing on popular CMS. We have successfully redesign their Web Application Infrastructure by building staging web database and setup an API layer with client's legacy firm database. The staging web database provide audit trail on data change and make sure the data accuracy of the fund data. And the API layer provides flexibility for different branch office to query data from firm's database in China. Finally we provided well written user guides and setup CMS user training to different user groups. At the end, user across the branch offices can manage their site properly and update the content seamlessly.

This project strengthens our ability to design and implement Web infrastructure across multi regions. It also gives us chance to master technologies including : Professional Charting library, Angular5, C# WebApi and Joomla CMS.
