Case Study: California Department of Water Resources modernizes legacy reporting with Capitol Tech Solutions

California Department of Water Resources modernizes 50+ views with Capitol Tech Solutions

The California Department of Water Resources (DWR) faced the challenge of modernizing its obsolete Agency Bonds Consolidated Reporting System (ABCRS), which was built on unsupported technologies like Microsoft Silverlight. This legacy system posed significant risks to its functionality and security. To address this, DWR partnered with Capitol Tech Solutions to migrate the application to a modern framework and cloud infrastructure.

Capitol Tech Solutions successfully migrated the ABCRS from Silverlight to the Blazor web framework and transitioned it to a serverless operation on Azure App Service. This solution improved the application's stability, scalability, and security. A key achievement was the development of a custom auto-transpiler tool by Capitol Tech Solutions, which streamlined the code conversion process. The project provided a future-proof platform for DWR and delivered valuable lessons on the effective use of automation in modernization efforts.
