Business Challenge
Home Care Pulse is an auxiliary resource to the home care industry. Home care agencies use Home Care Pulse as a resource for information on the industry as a whole such as benchmarking studies, satisfaction research, and training resources. Home Care Pulse has been growing quickly and is one of the few companies that has wide integration with different software vendors within the industry. The business challenge was its legacy code base, a homegrown solution built in PHP that had hit its scalability limit.
The solution was designed as a very simple foundation that couldn’t support Home Care Pulse’s expansion into other industries. Rewriting the main line of business software from scratch would have been cost-prohibitive because Home Care Pulse would have had to hire developers to not only try to maintain the existing system but also build a new one at the same time. Home Care Pulse needed a flexible software solution so it could scale and grow quickly.
