How we modernise legacy systems. Keep what works and replace the parts holding you back

System review We map the existing system, its data and everything that depends on it.
Incremental replacement New parts run alongside the old system and take over one area at a time.
Data migration Cleaned, checked and rehearsed moves, so no records go missing.
Framework upgrades Bring older PHP, Laravel or .NET applications onto supported versions.
Move to the cloud Move from ageing servers to reliable UK or EU hosting.
Security fixes Close the gaps that unsupported software leaves open.

  1. 01Review1–3 weeksWe assess the code, data and risks, and recommend what to keep, fix or replace.
  2. 02Plan1–2 weeksA step-by-step roadmap with the highest-risk or highest-value areas first.
  3. 03ReplaceReleases every two weeksOne piece at a time, running alongside the old system until it is ready to switch.
  4. 04RetireAs agreedFinal data migration, the old system switched off and your team trained on the new one.

Questions about legacy modernisation

How do we know if our system needs modernising?

Common signs are software that no longer gets security updates, only one person who understands it, slow or unreliable performance, and changes that take far longer than they should.

Why not rewrite everything at once?

Big-bang rewrites often run late because the old system keeps changing while the new one is built. Replacing one part at a time delivers value sooner and keeps risk low.

Can you work on a system someone else built?

Yes. We start with a review so we understand the code, its data and its weak points before we change anything.

Can you support software another company built?

Yes. We start with a review of the code, hosting and security, then agree a support plan. If there are urgent risks, we fix those first.

Will there be downtime when we switch over?

We plan switchovers to keep downtime to a minimum, usually outside working hours, and rehearse the data migration beforehand with a rollback plan ready.
