Platform Modernization and Security Enhancement for an Executive Networking System

An established executive search and networking organization faces difficulties with an existing software platform that was originally developed during its startup phase. The platform requires significant enhancements in functionality, stability, security, and scalability to support growing user demands and strategic initiatives, while ensuring a seamless transition and ongoing operational support.

A mid-sized executive search and professional networking platform serving senior leaders and private equity clients, seeking platform stability, security, and scalability improvements.

• Improve platform stability and security to ensure reliable user experience.
• Enhance core functionalities for dynamic and seamless professional interactions.
• Migrate the platform to a secure cloud environment for better scalability and control.
• Establish a maintainable and robust architecture supporting future growth.
• Facilitate ongoing support, feature expansion, and strategic planning collaboration.

• Platform redeployment within a secure cloud environment (e.g., AWS) with seamless data migration.
• Audit and documentation of existing codebase and deployment infrastructure.
• Enhanced security measures including user authentication, role-based access, and data protection.
• Dynamic interaction features such as messaging, connection requests, and professional profiles.
