Legacy System Modernisation

Reduce Technical Debt Without Stopping the Business

What we do

Legacy applications are the biggest source of operational risk in Dutch enterprises — unsupported technology stacks, single points of failure, and the one person who understands how it works. We modernise legacy systems using strangler fig, re-platform, or rebuild strategies — keeping the business running throughout.

Ideal for

Organisations running business-critical applications on end-of-life technology with high maintenance cost and mounting operational risk

Common applications

Strangler Fig Modernisation

Incrementally replace legacy functionality behind an API facade — no big-bang rewrite, business continuity preserved.

Legacy to Cloud Re-Platform

Lift legacy .NET, Java, or PHP applications to Azure App Service or AKS with minimal code changes and immediate cloud benefits.

Database Migration & Upgrade

Migrate from end-of-life SQL Server, Access, or Oracle databases to modern Azure SQL with schema modernisation.

Monolith to Microservices

Decompose a monolithic application into independently deployable microservices — improving team velocity and scaling characteristics.

UI Modernisation

Replace dated desktop or web front-ends with modern React or Next.js interfaces while retaining backend business logic.

Third-Party Dependency Removal

Eliminate vendor lock-in from deprecated components (Flash, ActiveX, Internet Explorer-only solutions) with modern equivalents.

How we work

01

Technical Assessment

Document the current system: architecture, dependencies, risk inventory, and modernisation effort estimate by component.

02

Modernisation Strategy

Select the right approach per component: retire, retain, re-host, re-platform, refactor, or rebuild.

03

Phased Execution

Execute the modernisation in phases, decommissioning legacy components only after successors are validated in production.

04

Knowledge Transfer

Document the modernised system thoroughly and train internal teams who will maintain it going forward.

What you receive

  • Technical assessment report with modernisation roadmap
  • Modernised application components deployed on Azure
  • Test suite for migrated functionality
  • Decommission plan and verification checklist
  • Architecture documentation for the new system
  • Source code ownership and developer documentation
