Project Overview
Rescuing a High-Stakes .NET Project for a Cisco Partner in the UK
Industry
Networking & Enterprise IT
The Client
A UK-based Cisco partner building a mission-critical networking analytics platform to process and visualize massive real-time data from millions of endpoints—supporting enterprise network management at scale.
Challenges Addressed
- Sudden exit of the lead architect with minimal documentation
- Complex, performance-critical .NET codebase with limited visibility
- Imminent high-stakes deadline tied to Cisco deliverables
- No formal knowledge transfer—requiring reverse engineering
- Full delivery ownership with minimal internal support
Collaboration in Action
Cubet initially engaged as a support partner but quickly transitioned to a Dedicated Team model, assembling senior .NET developers, architects, and QA engineers to fully own and rescue the project under extreme time constraints.
Technologies Deployed
Frontend: Angular
Backend: .NET Core (C#) with microservices architecture
Database: SQL Server, Redis (caching)
DevOps & Infrastructure: Azure DevOps pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes
Integrations: Cisco APIs for networking data and device management
Innovative Feature
The platform provided real-time networking insights for enterprise-level systems, capable of processing millions of data points per second. Despite the knowledge gap, Cubet reverse-engineered, completed, and stabilized this high-load solution within the deadline.
Value Delivered
- 100% on-time delivery meeting Cisco contractual obligations
- Rebuilt technical documentation and deployment guides
- Platform stabilized and optimized for large-scale data handling
- Stronger client–Cisco relationship through successful handover
User Feedback
Cubet saved this project. They took control under pressure, figured everything out, and delivered a solid platform when we needed it most.
Conclusion
By taking full ownership under a Dedicated Team model, Cubet rescued a failing project under tight timelines, ensured long-term maintainability, and became a trusted partner for ongoing application support and enhancements.
Impact Made
Avoided project failure, restored client credibility with Cisco, and evolved into a strategic outsourcing partnership that continues to support mission-critical applications.
