Legacy Modernization

Complete rewriting or strategic refactoring on a modern technological base.

Overview

We take on applications that still make money but can no longer be changed safely. We do not start with a rewrite — that is the last option, not the first. We start by putting the system under test and making it start reproducibly on any machine.

Use cases

PHP on unsupported versions

Applications left on releases that no longer receive security patches.

Applications with no dev environment

Systems that run on exactly one server, where nobody dares touch anything.

Taking over after the team left

Code with no documentation and no original author available.

Key benefits

The business keeps running

We modernise piece by piece, old and new running side by side. There is no single day when everything changes.

First visible delivery in weeks

We start with the part that hurts most, not with refactoring nobody can see.

Risk measured, not guessed

The opening audit states what is covered by tests, what is not, and which dependencies are out of support.

How we work

  1. 01

    Discovery

    We map the current system, its constraints and the business goals before proposing anything.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    We design the structure, data model and integration points. Decisions get documented, not improvised.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Delivered in short iterations, with reviewed code and a staging environment you can see at any time.

  4. 04

    Testing & QA

    Automated tests plus performance and security checks before every release.

  5. 05

    Launch & support

    We ship with a rollback plan, then stay on for monitoring and iteration.
