Legacy system modernization

Modernize your legacy systems — without betting the company

The problem

The system nobody wants to touch

Your legacy system keeps the business running, but every year it gets more expensive and riskier to maintain.

  • Unsupported or hard-to-maintain technology
  • Dependence on a handful of people who know the system
  • Small changes take weeks
  • Fear of a big-bang migration that stops operations
Legacy system modernization
How we solve it

Incremental modernization

With the strangler fig pattern, the new system grows around the old one until it replaces it, module by module.

01

Assessment of the current system

We learn what the system does, which business rules it holds, and what depends on it.

02

Module-by-module migration

Each module migrates, validates, and goes live without breaking what works.

03

Zero-downtime cutover

Operations keep running while the system is modernized.

04

Cloud migration when it makes sense

We move the modernized system to the infrastructure that fits you best.

COBOL and AS/400 modernization

Many US enterprises still run core operations on COBOL and AS/400. We modernize them incrementally, preserving the business rules they hold, without a big-bang cutover.

Stack and technologies

From: AS/400, COBOL, old .NET, custom monoliths To: PHP/Laravel, Node, Python, .NET — depending on the case Cloud: AWS, Azure, GCP

What we DON'T do

  • We don't do big-bang migrations
  • We don't put a module into production without validating it

Frequently asked questions

A strategy where the new system replaces the old one module by module, instead of all at once.
