Why Modernise Legacy Applications?

The cost of waiting– not updating your systems can cost you.

    Security Risks and Performance Drags 

    An existing system running on outdated technology exposes your data to breaches and drags down your operations. Slow load times and crashes due to legacy code frustrate your team and customers alike.

  • Legacy App Development Inefficiency And Customer Dissatisfaction

    Inefficiency and Customer Dissatisfaction

    Outdated software causes system failures that hit your productivity and revenue hard. Customers have to deal with clunky interfaces and bare-bones features, leading to a poor user experience. Modern applications deliver a seamless experience that keeps your audience engaged.

    Unsustainable Costs and Lost Opportunities

    Keeping a legacy application running drains resources and stifles growth. An existing application built on outdated technology means wasted money and missed innovation. In a fast-paced market, slow adaptation leaves you trailing behind competitors. Plus, who wants to work at a company stuck in the past?

Enlighten to the rescue

Legacy software was once the backbone of your operations, but now it's become a dead weight. Draining your budget with unsustainable maintenance costs, outdated tech, and unsupported systems, legacy software presents security risks and bottlenecks that hinder your growth and innovation. The solution? App modernisation.

Our Approach to Modernising Legacy Software

Legacy systems dragging you down? They're costly, vulnerable and inefficient - it's time for app modernisation. We transform your tech, empower your teams and pave the way for endless innovation.

Step 1: Onboarding and Stabilisation

We fix your legacy software issues to ensure smooth operations:

  • Resolve system crashes and backup problems in your existing system.

  • Make small, incremental improvements to prepare for upgrades.

  • Migrate infrastructure to Microsoft Azure to create a robust cloud app with scalability.

  • Update development tools and frameworks for faster application development.

  • Integrate AI to automate processes and gain insights.

  • Upskill your team to handle modern systems.

  • Implement Agile and DevOps practices for efficiency

Step 2: Initial Segment

Our strategy is to safely and gradually upgrade your outdated system into a modernised application. By replacing old components piece by piece, we minimise risks while delivering continuous improvements.

The best part? With every step, you see measurable progress—no risky, all-at-once migration required. Learn more about how we work.

Step 3: Iterative Replacement 

We take your legacy applications and convert them into modern web and cloud-native solutions. Working hand-in-hand with your team, we modernise your systems, reduce costs, and set you up for long-term success with new features that align with today’s standards.

By making small, incremental changes, we dive deep into your app's core and set it up for future upgrades.

Step 4: Completed App Modernisation

With our Managed Services, you get proactive support from our expert developers who are specialists in Microsoft Azure and generative AI.

We don't just deliver a robust app; we invest in your team’s future. Our blended teams model provides ongoing support and training from our software development team to provide you with the skills needed to innovate long after we're gone. With a focus on collaboration and clear communication, we make sure your team feels confident moving forward.
