Assolombarda Servizi offers strategic solutions to support business growth and operational management. A wholly owned subsidiary of Assolombarda, it has supported companies for over 40 years with personalized services, specialized consulting, and the development of complex projects geared toward innovation and competitiveness.

Within this context, I oversaw the maintenance and custom development of a legacy WordPress portal, collaborating continuously for approximately two years on development activities, structural corrections, and platform security.

The project presented numerous technical issues and vulnerabilities, which were addressed from the early stages of the collaboration. Much of the work focused on stabilizing the existing code, improving security, and managing a codebase developed with very low quality standards. This experience clearly demonstrated how initial decisions geared solely toward cost containment can, in the long run, translate into higher maintenance costs, operational complexity, and technical debt.
