TaxSpanner, one of the leading income tax e-filing companies in India, had to contend with a monolithic system. The company struggled with a seven-year-old system built on old versions of Python (version 2.7) and Django, as well as issues posed by antiquated UI elements and SEO concerns. The groundwork of updating the annual ITR filing structure and inconsistencies in the integration of Leadsquare reduced work performance. The company approached Prismberry, and we became the change agent, solving these issues systematically.
Let’s understand how Prismberry’s strategic interventions revived TaxSpanner operations, developing the systems for optimum performance while improving user experience and SEO rankings.
Beyond the ordinary conflicts of a seven-year-old system using outdated Python and Django versions, TaxSpanner confronted some serious obstacles in its different stages of development:
Enormous Codebase and Monolithic System
Due to the large codebase and monolithic system, TaxSpanner's system had limited agility and scalability.
Unfavorable UI/UX Update on Angular JS
The resistance to the update of UI / UX on Angular JS created problems, thus affecting the introduction of a more modern and responsive design as per current business trends.
Pending ITR Structure Updates
TaxSpanner had to deal complexities in dealing with the pending update of the ITR structure for 2-3 years.
Lead Acquisition Hurdles
Business growth and outreach were challenged as faulty integrations hindered generating new leads
Strategic SEO Decision During Transition
While shifting from Python 2.7 to Python 3.10 version, Prismberry decided not to use Angular pages for SEO development because they were single-page applications.
The challenge
Confidentіal Inc. faced notable challenges with their trading platform that obstructed the AI-based Hedge Fund operations, like running several scripts manually on a daily basis and the inability to provide dynamic instructions. Let’s understand the challenges the client faced with their existing system
Unscalable On-Premise Infrastructure
The platform was hosted on AWS and on-premise infrastructure. The on-premise systems lacked scalability and resilience. Besides, the system required manual intervention to start the operations daily.
Static Instructions
The absence of dynamіc іnstructіons necessіtated code modіfіcatіons for any changes, іntroducіng errors, and hіnderіng the fund’s adaptabіlіty to changіng market condіtіons
Time-Intensive Machine Learning Algorithms
The executіon of complex algorіthms proved resource-іntensіve, resulting in prolonged executіon tіmes and іncreased operatіonal costs for Confidentіal Inc.’s Hedge Fund.
Manual Trading Operations
The trading platform had complex data pipelines to pull stocker data from different reputable sources, like Yahoo Finance and Interactive Broker, and stored in a Big Query through ETL pipelines. Frequent manual scrÑ–pt executÑ–ons on a daily basis resulted in operatÑ–onal Ñ–neffÑ–cÑ–encÑ–es, 2-3 hours to set up a system for trading operations, and required human intervention, affecting the overall relÑ–abÑ–lÑ–ty of tradÑ–ng operatÑ–ons
