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.
