/ The situation /No Low-Code team & legacy systems holding VTNZ back
VTNZ was relying on legacy applications that were slow, underperforming, and effort-intensive to maintain. The company already planned to transform its existing systems into modern applications using Low-Code. However, VTNZ lacked resources and engineering expertise to develop Power Platform solutions in-house. Without a dedicated Low-Code development team, VTNZ risked losing momentum in its modernization efforts and falling further behind its goals.
/ THE SOLUTION /
A Low-Code development team purpose-built for VTNZ

Orient Software approached the engagement by building a Power Platform team from the ground up, steadily growing it over time to take on more scope and responsibility as VTNZ’s needs evolved.
A compact team designed to scale
Orient’s team started small with a senior software developer and a QA engineer. This lean setup laid the foundation for the Low-Code development capability VTNZ needed but had never had in-house.
A defined delivery pipeline, from request to release
Working in Agile, the team followed a structured workflow for every request, from submission and estimation through development and testing to go-live and ongoing maintenance.
An end-to-end Low-Code stack
From Power Apps and Power Automate to Azure cloud services and Power BI for reporting, Orient’s team built VTNZ’s Low-Code solutions on a modern, fully integrated Microsoft stack.
/ THE RESULTS /From zero Low-Code capability to a scalable foundation
Orient’s Low-Code solutions have helped VTNZ reduce manual effort, minimize errors, and accelerate delivery across its day-to-day operations.

/ OUR INTERNAL THOUGHTS /
“We didn't just hand VTNZ a Low-Code team. We watched them build real confidence in it, project after project, year after year, until it became part of how they work every day.”
