About the Client Analist is a financial analytics company based in the Netherlands.

Challenges We analyzed the old website’s architecture and found that it was much better to deliver a new one from scratch. The main issue was PHP code written without any framework, which is a huge pain for many aged PHP-based websites. We decided to use Ruby on Rails that exactly matched our task. So the product backlog had the following epics: Conversion of old PHP/MySQL-based website A multi-domain publishing platform An advanced web-presence A high-powered “Pro Section” Solutions 1. Completely revised the existing structure and migrated the old database from PHP to Ruby on Rails. 2. Created a multi-domain solution based on Ruby on Rails, with basic and pro-sections. The solution currently supports 9 websites in 9 European countries and is fully localized, including URL names. 3. Main functionality created: Stocks pricing with filters, News, Reports, Admin part, Subscription-based part. Results The outcome succeeded all expectations.
