Legacy Modernization

What is legacy modernization and why embark on this journey?

 

The relevance of legacy systems stems from their long history and the fact that they support critical business functions. These systems store important data, automate processes, and support daily operations. Companies have made significant investments in the development and maintenance of these systems, and they are often indispensable for business operations.

Moreover, modernizing or migrating legacy systems can be time-consuming and costly. Enterprises face the challenge of balancing the maintenance of smooth operations with the need to adapt to modern technologies and business requirements.

 

Legacy systems are often the crown jewels of an enterprise. They encapsulate the essence of the business domain and have successfully supported day-to-day operations for many years.

Benefits of legacy software modernization

Legacy modernization is like a renovation: Instead of continuing to invest in a dilapidated house, you create a solid foundation for the future. With the right measures, you transform your IT from a cost trap into a competitive advantage. We show you how to proceed step by step and the benefits you can expect.

Reduction of maintenance costs and complexity

Legacy systems often cause high maintenance costs and are complex to handle due to outdated architecture and code. Modernization can lead to a reduction in complexity and associated costs.

Fostering innovation

Old systems can hinder the introduction of new, innovative solutions. Through modernization, companies can create agile and flexible IT environments that foster innovation and open up new business opportunities.

Strengthening competitiveness

Companies that invest in modernizing their IT landscape position themselves advantageously in the competition, as they can respond faster to market changes and offer innovative products and services.

Improving the user experience

Modernized systems enable improved interaction with users through faster, more user-friendly, and feature-rich applications.

Increasing operational efficiency

Legacy systems often lead to operational inefficiencies due to their outdated technologies and architectures. In addition, they usually map organizational processes that have been adapted over time. Through modernization, not only can the software be adapted to the processes, but often the processes themselves can be optimized.

Increasing security

Outdated systems are more vulnerable to security gaps and attacks. As part of modernization, the susceptibility to security gaps and attacks is reduced either in a targeted manner or simply through the use of current technology.

The Path to legacy modernization

For more than 15 years, our employees have been consulting SMEs and corporations and successfully realizing all kinds of IT systems. Our expertise is backed by many years of practical experience – in software architecture and development, digital platforms and infrastructures, and digital product development. For us, technology has no self-purpose, but is the basis of solving real problems.

01.
Software analysis

We create clarity through an analysis. Now we take a close look at your software. The thorough overview at the beginning gives us insights into where you stand with your software and where your acute problems come from. This review will also help us later to determine the right strategies and priorities for remediation.

We’re there when there’s a crisis

Should your software acutely find itself in a crisis, we provide first aid without any major detours. No matter whether it’s a performance or availability problem, our experts take care of solving threatening problems directly before we do anything else.

02.
Modernization strategy

We design your modernization strategy! After we have captured the current situation, we discuss where you want to go. No matter if you want to part with technologies like mainframe, fat client or a programming language like Delphi. Now is the time to plan the path to modernization.

03.
Technical remediation

We get hands-on and improve your legacy system using proven methods. In technical remediation, the system largely remains in place, but its quality is iteratively improved. Often, qualities such as stability, operational performance, or the optimization of a slow release process are at the center of improvement.

04.
When nothing else works: rebuilding your software

Sometimes there is no way around a rebuild. Here, too, we use proven methods to precisely analyze the requirements for your software for today and tomorrow. We develop your new software according to modern standards and best practices. If desired, we train your team so that they can quickly integrate the new technologies and procedures into their daily routine. In many cases, we phase out your existing software gradually so that you can see results in the production environment quickly and without major risks.
