MOHELA .NET Framework Upgrade
As one of the largest holders and servicers of student loans nationwide, MOHELA’s software applications are critical to ongoing business operation, including the software infrastructure which supports these applications.
The Problem
MOHELA needed to upgrade their software application platforms to a new version of Microsoft's .NET framework to provide for future functionality, scalability and maintainability. The company was limited in their ability to move forward with critical software applications with the current version of .NET, thus impacting business operations and customer service.
The Solution
The TDK team worked with MOHELA to understand their business and specific technical needs to define the necessary steps to upgrade the platform from Microsoft .NET 2.0 to the .NET 4.5 framework. Conflicts arose when upgrading to the .NET 3.5 architecture, which was a step in the migration path to get to .NET 4.5. TDK's planning and execution process kept MOHELA in a good position to be able to react to the unexpected behavior quickly and safely.
The Result
The joint effort led by TDK was successful and well executed, allowing MOHELA to move forward with a Microsoft .NET platform upgrade with dramatically increased capabilities for future functionality. The ongoing business operations were not impacted.
In 2024, TDK Technologies was recognized by the St. Louis Business Journal as the 14th largest IT Consulting Firm and the 5th largest Software Development Firm in the St. Louis region.
