Legacy Modernisation Solutions
Keeping your technology estate up to date can play a significant role in whether or not you achieve your organisation’s goals. However, there is no one-size-fits-all approach to modernisation. Our expert consultants work with your teams to understand your requirements, processes and resources, then design a solution that’s unique to you.
Approaches to modernisation
Replatforming
If your code could be more efficient on a new platform, we can help you to move it, making sure all of the structure, features and functionality are working correctly on a new platform.
Rearchitecting
If the application itself is still effective but it is unstable or no longer integrates with your other business systems, we can help you rewrite and move it to a new architecture that is more stable or has better capabilities.
Refactoring
Also known as restructuring, this involves updating your code as well as the platform, to address issues like outdated frameworks and libraries, making it more efficient on the new platform.
Retiring
If there are a number of reasons why the system or application is no longer providing value, and addressing all of those reasons is inefficient, we may recommend retiring it and building a new solution.

Our modernisation principles
Architecture is evolutionary
We believe that technology architecture should start small, be based on an initial set of goals, and evolve as these goals change and grow. This provides maximum flexibility and agility while tackling challenges like legacy modernisation.
Experience matters
We are practitioners with deep experience of designing, building and modernising large-scale enterprise systems. We get to know your organisation before recommending tools, technologies and approaches that are tried and tested, keeping your requirements top of mind.
Open source, then buy, then build
We build bespoke systems, but only where this approach adds value. We always look for open source or commercial technologies that 'fit', to provide the best return on investment for our clients. Our commitment to open source is clear: as an active member of FINOS, we have contributed to significant projects supporting financial services and beyond.
Designing for the future
We always design with future maintenance and extensibility in mind. We work closely in collaboration with your wider organisation to ensure good integration and scalability, and we’re cautious and pragmatic in the use of bleeding-edge technologies.
