Free Legacy System Assessment

Options for replacing or modernising old software, with the risks of each.

Old software keeps running until the one person who understands it leaves, or the server fails, or a new rule cannot be added. Tell us what you have and where it hurts, and we will set out your options, from wrapping it to replacing it.

What you receive

  • Risk rating of the current system
  • Options: keep and wrap, rebuild in phases, or replace
  • Recommended migration approach
  • Data migration and downtime considerations
  • Rough cost and timeline for each option

Questions

We do not have the source code. Can anything be done?

Yes. The data can usually be extracted from the database, and the system rebuilt around observed behaviour. We explain what is feasible.

Will we have to stop work during migration?

No. We plan migration in phases with both systems running until the new one is proven.

Is replacement always necessary?

No. Sometimes the right answer is to leave a stable system alone and build the new features around it.
