Application modernization

Move off legacy incrementally, behind a facade, with every step independently valuable and reversible.

Dense colourful source code seen at an angle

Big-bang replacement of a working system is the highest-risk option available and is chosen surprisingly often, usually because the incremental path was never costed properly.

We favour the strangler pattern: put a facade in front of the legacy system, move one capability at a time behind it, and keep the old path available until the new one has earned trust. Each step delivers something and each step can be reversed.

Not every application should be modernised. Part of the assessment is identifying what to retain, what to retire, and what genuinely warrants investment.

What you get

  • Risk spread across small reversible steps
  • Faster, safer releases
  • A clear decision for every application in the portfolio

What's included

Portfolio assessment
Application-by-application decisions: retain, re-platform, re-engineer, replace or retire.
Legacy re-engineering
Incremental extraction of capability behind a stable interface.
Monolith to microservices
Decomposition along real business boundaries, only where it earns its complexity.
Cloud-native transformation
Containerisation, managed services and elasticity — not a lift-and-shift of the same problem.
API modernisation
Clean, documented interfaces over systems that have none.
UI/UX modernisation
Contemporary, accessible front ends over stable back ends.
Where this applies
  • A monolith too risky to change and too central to replace
  • An unsupported platform or an approaching end-of-life dependency
  • Release cycles measured in quarters
  • A modernisation case that keeps failing on cost or risk
Technologies
  • Kubernetes
  • Docker
  • AWS
  • Azure
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Python
  • FastAPI
Engagement models
  • Modernisation assessment. Three to four weeks. Portfolio disposition, target architecture, sequenced roadmap.
  • Pilot migration. One capability moved end to end to prove the pattern and the estimate.
  • Programme delivery. Sequenced incremental migration with continuous operation of the legacy path.
  • Co-delivery. Joint teams, with knowledge transfer as an explicit deliverable.
