A notary office's internal systems brought up to date with no service interruption

The notary office had to keep critical systems running in a technology environment that never stops changing, without letting technical obsolescence affect daily operations. The main challenge was to update key applications and keep them current without interrupting service, minimizing the risk of incompatibilities, degraded performance, or incidents at times of peak workload.

At the same time, it was essential to preserve the knowledge and maintainability of the ecosystem, so that improvements could be introduced in a controlled way that would hold up over time.

The work consisted of evolving the software on the existing stack, through development and adjustments in .NET with Visual Basic. The approach focused on keeping the ecosystem current, rolling out compatibility improvements and technology updates gradually to minimize the impact on operations and ensure frictionless adoption.

• Greater operational continuity, by keeping systems aligned with current technology updates and dependencies, which reduces the risk of downtime or failures caused by incompatibility.
• An estimated reduction in recurring technical incidents of around 20–35%, especially those tied to environment and compatibility changes.
• Better maintainability across the ecosystem, making future upgrades easier and reducing accumulated technology risk.
• Frictionless adoption, thanks to a gradual, validated rollout that kept daily operations stable throughout the process.
