Problem Statement

Maintaining legacy systems can be a significant financial burden for businesses. According to a survey by Accenture, organizations spend around 15% of their annual budget on maintaining these outdated systems. This cost is compounded by the security threats and vulnerabilities that legacy systems often present. This issue is particularly critical for digital payment services, where hundreds of merchants process thousands of transactions daily. Legacy technology in digital payments introduces various challenges, such as security risks, limited load-bearing capacity, and compliance issues. These vulnerabilities can lead to data theft, customer fraud, declining trust, and monetary loss for the payment platform company. Therefore, modernizing legacy systems is essential, especially for payment service companies.
With this problem in mind, Digital Garage, Japan’s largest comprehensive payment platform company, approached iauro for help. Digital Garage needed to modernize its merchant administration portal, which helps merchants manage their payment transactions and statuses. The existing portal was built on an outdated tech stack, making maintenance difficult and expensive. Additionally, the legacy system could not support PCI-DSS security standards, leaving it vulnerable to threats.
Solution
Given that the system was nearly two decades old and non-compliant with regulatory standards, our team at iauro thoroughly examined the existing system to understand its intricacies. We then developed a completely new system using a modern tech stack. During the data migration process, we ensured that the key priority functions of the existing system were preserved. This approach allowed us to create a lightweight application service.
Our modernization efforts included making the new system compliant with PCI-DSS security standards, thereby safeguarding it against cyber threats. The result was a scalable, maintainable, and secure solution with zero vulnerabilities.

Impact

The modernization of Digital Garage’s legacy system had a profound impact. The new solution complied with all fintech standards, ensuring business security. The user experience was significantly enhanced, making the system easy to use and providing a delightful experience for end-users. Additionally, the maintainability of the modernized system drastically reduced maintenance costs for the company. 

In summary, our solution not only secured Digital Garage’s operations but also improved efficiency and user satisfaction while lowering ongoing costs.
