About the client

MessageWatcher is a U.S.-based compliance technology provider founded in 2004. Its platform helps organizations archive, monitor, search, and supervise digital communications across email, text messages, social media, websites, WhatsApp, and collaboration tools. Built for regulated industries, MessageWatcher supports compliance, eDiscovery, reporting, policy enforcement, and risk mitigation through one centralized communications archive.

The challenge

MessageWatcher, a compliance provider specializing in electronic content archiving and monitoring, needed to modernize its web platform. The company sought technical expertise to select a scalable, future-proof technology and completely redesign all user flows, adding new functionality to enhance the overall user experience.

Legacy Front-End Modernization
MessageWatcher needed to replace its entire legacy front-end system with a scalable, long-term, and future-proof technology stack capable of supporting deep compliance feature sets and ensuring long-term community support.
Complex UX Redesign Across Core Flows
The company needed to map, test, and redesign dense compliance archiving and monitoring workflows to create a standout, intuitive, and highly functional graphical user interface that excels in the marketplace.
Need for an Autonomous Team
The internal engineering team needed immediate support from full-time front-end developers and product designers to rapidly build a cohesive design system while the client focused purely on managing back-end engineering.

Why CodeLink?

The CodeLink team was exceptional in every regard. They were well-organized and took the time to understand each team member individually, drawing out the best from everyone involved. Their technical depth and knowledge of the latest technologies translated directly into a product that stands out in the marketplace.
