Portal modernization on Azure: 20–40% lower cost, 99.9% availability.
A background screening and verification platform serving enterprise HR and staffing teams moved from rigid on-premises systems to a secure, scalable Azure platform.
Legacy infrastructure was costing customers.
On-premises database clusters were expensive and could not scale, and candidates were abandoning slow verification forms.
- Rising costs. Rigid legacy clusters with no path to elastic scaling.
- Candidate drop-off. Unresponsive forms on mobile and low-bandwidth connections.
- No single sign-on. No central identity across the platform.
- Compliance gaps. Data security and PII protection needed strengthening.
- Slow change. The legacy stack held back new features.
Four steps to a modern platform.
- 01
Audit and plan
Mapped the on-premises estate: cost drivers, availability risks, security gaps and dependencies.
- 02
Migrate the data layer
Moved to Azure SQL Managed Instance with zero data loss and minimal downtime.
- 03
Rebuild the portal and secure it
Rebuilt the candidate portal on .NET 8 and Blazor, added Azure SSO, and rolled out Microsoft Intune and Vanta.
- 04
Observe and validate
Deployed Datadog across the stack to confirm 99.9% availability and support SLA commitments.
