Overview and Objectives

Issues:

  • Cosmote e-Value was operating 150+ legacy applications built on outdated technologies.
  • These systems were costly to maintain, difficult to upgrade, and delivered an inconsistent user experience.
  • Adding new features or modifying processes took months due to rigid, code-heavy environments.
  • There was a risk of disrupting critical operations during modernization efforts.

Goals:

  • Modernize the entire legacy application portfolio swiftly and securely.
  • Reduce maintenance costs and consolidate operations onto a unified platform.
  • Deliver a consistent, modern user interface across all applications.
  • Enable faster development cycles and allow business users to contribute directly to process updates.
  • Ensure scalability, cloud-readiness, and minimal downtime during transition.
  • Future-proof the system to support emerging technologies like chatbots and advanced analytics.

Problem and Solution

Problem

Cosmote e-Value was burdened by over 150 outdated legacy applications, leading to high maintenance costs, slow feature delivery, and an inconsistent user experience. These systems were difficult to modify and posed a risk of disruption if replaced all at once—creating a major challenge for modernization at scale

Solution

Jaggle low-code platform was used to rapidly rebuild and replace legacy apps through a centralized, modular approach. With visual development, reusable components, and real-time integration with legacy systems, the team modernized over 150 apps in just 12 months—reducing costs by 40%, improving performance, and enabling agile feature updates with minimal downtime.

Results & Metrics

  • 150+ legacy applications modernized in just 12 months (vs. years with traditional methods)
  • Up to 10× faster development cycles using low-code, visual tools, and reusable templates
  • 40% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) through system consolidation
  • Modern, consistent user interface (UI) improved usability and reduced training time
  • Incremental rollout ensured smooth transition with minimal downtime or risk
  • Business analysts empowered to make logic updates without developer input
  • Improved app performance and system stability on a modern architecture
  • Cloud-ready and future-proof, enabling easy integration of chatbots, analytics, and other technologies
  • Multiple teams collaborated in parallel, accelerating delivery through Jaggle Studio
  • Legacy logic made transparent and adjustable, simplifying ongoing maintenance

Conclusion

  • 150+ legacy applications modernized in just 12 months, significantly faster than traditional approaches
  • 10× faster development cycles enabled by Jaggle’s low-code platform and reusable components
  • 40% reduction in total cost of ownership (TCO) through consolidation and automation
  • Unified, user-friendly interface reduced user errors and training time
  • Parallel rollout of old and new systems minimized business disruption during transition
  • Empowered non-developers (e.g., business analysts) to update logic and workflows visually
  • Cloud deployment and scalable architecture supported future growth and rapid rollout
  • Seamless integration with legacy systems ensured data continuity and operational stability
  • Future-ready foundation enabled easy addition of AI, chatbots, and analytics capabilities
  • Improved agility: feature updates now take days or weeks instead of months
