Debt lifecycle services platform built on .NET and Azure, modernising legacy infrastructure
Perch Group operates across five interconnected debt services: purchase, collection, litigation, verification, and outsourced contact centres. The tech stack reveals a mid-migration story — .NET and SQL Server form the core, but the adopting list (Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Power BI, React/Vue/Angular) signals a shift toward cloud-native data pipelines and modern front-ends. Active projects cluster around data infrastructure (ETL pipelines, platform modernisation, performance tuning) and consumer experience, while pain points highlight the friction of legacy system constraints and scaling headroom.
