Questions? We’re Here To Help
Want to learn more about how we work and how we’ll achieve your business objectives?
What is legacy software modernisation?
Legacy software modernisation involves updating outdated applications using modern technologies such as web-based technologies, updated architectures, and cloud-based infrastructure to maximise performance, scalability, and maintainability in the future.
Why is modernising legacy software important?
By choosing to modernise legacy systems, companies can significantly reduce ongoing maintenance costs, improve security posture, boost performance metrics, more easily integrate with existing software, and ultimately improve business processes to scale and achieve future growth.
How long will a software modernisation project take?
A modernisation project’s timeline is dependent on multiple factors including software complexity, business requirements, architecture, any necessary integrations, testing requirements and scope of the migration. Typical enterprise modernisation projects take a minimum of 4 to 6 months.
Can legacy software be relocated to cloud hosting platforms?
Absolutely. Legacy software can be migrated to a modern cloud platform like Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure to improve scalability, availability, disaster recovery, security, and operational efficiency.
Will software modernisation affect daily business operations?
Through rigorous planning, phased implementation plans, complete testing procedures, and controlled release schedules, business operations remain uninterrupted during any modernisation process.
How do you ensure data security during software modernisation?
Our secure coding practices, encryption methodologies, authentication controls, access management, security testing and relevant compliance standards guarantee data security throughout every software modernisation project.
