The Problem

Legacy system symptoms

Can't find developers who know your tech stack
Simple changes take weeks instead of days
Integration with modern tools is painful or impossible
The original developers are long gone
Documentation is outdated or missing
Everyone's afraid to touch certain parts of the codebase
The Cost of Inaction
Competitive disadvantage as technology falls behind
Security vulnerabilities in unsupported frameworks
Developer turnover. No one wants to work on legacy code
Missed opportunities requiring modern integrations
70% of IT budgets are spent maintaining legacy systems, leaving only 30% for innovation.

Our Approach

Modernization Without the Risk

We use the strangler fig pattern, gradually replacing legacy components while the system continues to run. No big-bang migrations.

01

System Assessment

Map the existing system, identify dependencies, and determine which components need modernization first.

02

Architecture Design

Design the target state and the migration path. Plan for coexistence during transition.

03

Incremental Migration

Replace components one at a time. Each piece goes live independently. No risky big releases.

04

Gradual Cutover

Shift traffic to new components as they're ready. Roll back instantly if issues arise.

Why Choose Us
Zero-downtime migrations
Incremental approach reduces risk
Keep running while we rebuild
Knowledge transfer to your team
We'd been quoted $2M for a full rebuild. They modernized the critical pieces for a fraction of that while we kept running.

FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know before moving forward.

How long does modernization take?+

Depends on system complexity. Small systems: 2-3 months. Large enterprise systems: 6-12 months. But you see value incrementally, not just at the end.

Is it really possible to migrate with zero downtime?+

Yes, using patterns like strangler fig and feature flags. We run old and new systems in parallel, gradually shifting traffic. Rollback is instant if needed.

What if our system is too old/custom/complex?+

We've modernized systems in COBOL, legacy PHP, old .NET, and custom frameworks. The approach works regardless of the starting technology.

Should we just rebuild from scratch?+

Sometimes, but rarely. Rebuilds are risky, expensive, and often fail to deliver. We'll give you an honest assessment of which approach makes sense.
