Adapt Digital was tasked with adopting, maintaining, and enhancing an existing hybrid web and mobile application previously developed by another agency. The application, a crucial tool for disseminating organisational news to BAE Systems' extensive global workforce, was built using WordPress in a headless state, AngularJS, and Cordova. The primary challenge was to delve into and understand a complex codebase created by another team, with the goal of transforming the app into a fully functional and reliable resource.
This project was a collaborative effort with a complimentary agency who maintained an existing relationship with BAE Systems. Redefining Communications, a business consultancy specialising in communication, brought Adapt in as a collaborative technical partner.
Our approach involved a meticulous analysis and understanding of the existing codebase, identifying areas for improvement and stability enhancement. We systematically integrated new features and functionality, ensuring seamless operation across both web and mobile platforms. The technology stack included a unique combination of WordPress, AngularJS, and Cordova, requiring a tailored strategy to optimally harness their capabilities.
"When we inherited the support for the app Patrick and his team came highly recommended as the people to help. They haven’t disappointed. It’s a challenging project and inheriting someone else’s work is never easy but the team at Adapt have been brilliant at delivering for the client.
They have the perfect combination of expertise, patience and humour that makes working together easy. They are creative with solutions to problems and flexible in how we support the client in a continually changing landscape."
