Legacy software modernisation begins by understanding what still works. A familiar system may contain valuable records and business rules even when its interface or connections have become difficult to use.
Explore our custom software development services to discuss how this could fit your business.
Assess before replacing
- Identify the functions staff rely on
- Check access to the existing code and data
- Compare repair, extension and staged replacement options
During our free 15-minute software review, we look at your main issues, the processes that require a lot of manual work and what would best fit your company. A typical form, record or example of a repeated task helps make that conversation practical.
Questions and answers
Can you improve a system built by someone else?
An assessment is needed first. Access to the source code, documentation and dependencies affects what is practical and how much investigation is required.
Can our existing data be retained?
That is often a central requirement. The available export methods, record quality and mapping to the new system need checking before migration is agreed.
How much would this cost?
Cost is an important part of the decision. We price the project according to the work required to build your agreed solution. Features, user roles, connections to other systems and testing all affect that work, so we discuss the requirements before quoting.
What support is needed after launch?
Support is agreed individually. From our experience, ongoing intervention is generally not needed for every project. We agree the arrangement for your system and discuss additional changes separately when required.
