Legacy modernization & migration

Modernise without breaking the business.

We migrate ageing systems to modern, supported stacks in safe, incremental steps, so the business keeps running while the technology underneath improves.

In short

Legacy modernization moves old systems to supported platforms without a risky big-bang rewrite. We assess the system, document its behaviour, then migrate incrementally using patterns such as the strangler fig, with automated tests to prove nothing breaks. We handle VB6, Classic ASP, Delphi, COBOL, PHP 5, AngularJS, Python 2 and .NET Framework.

Live example

Old to new, one slice at a time.

What you get

Built to hold up.

Assessment and documentation

Inventory, dependency maps and recovered business rules, so you know exactly what you have.

Incremental migration

Strangler-fig and parallel-run approaches that move one slice at a time with rollback at every step.

Framework and language upgrades

AngularJS to modern frameworks, Python 2 to 3, .NET Framework to modern .NET, PHP upgrades and more.

Database and platform moves

Migrate from old databases and servers to managed cloud services, with data validation.

Tests first

Characterisation tests capture current behaviour so the new system can be proven equivalent.

FAQ

Questions we often get.

Incremental migration is usually safer: the business keeps running and risk is spread out. A full rewrite is sometimes right when the old system is small or beyond saving.
