Legacy modernization
Your developer retired. Your system didn't.
The people who wrote it are gone, the documentation never existed, and every quote you have had assumes someone spends three months working out what it does before anyone changes a line.
Reading an undocumented VB6, Delphi, AngularJS, PHP 5 or Java 8 monolith was slow, specialist work. That is the part that changed — which is why businesses that could never justify modernization now can.
The cost of staying
Keeping it alive is not free, it is just unbilled: specialists who are scarce and priced accordingly, licences that are end-of-life, security and compliance exposure that grows every year, and an integration dead-end that quietly caps what the rest of the business can do.
Everyone knows a rewrite horror story
Strangler-fig phasing
Module by module, never big-bang.
Proven feature parity
A traceability matrix proves parity — which answers the real fear, that something nobody remembered will quietly disappear.
Milestone billing
Billed per accepted module.
If the source is lost
No source code? We reconstruct from a walkthrough of the working system and a schema-only export of the database. Schema only — never your data.
The Assessment
A Modernization Assessment produces the current-state map, the extracted specification, a risk register, a TCO comparison and a phased quote — and is credited toward the build. We are taking these by enquiry rather than as an off-the-shelf product at the moment; tell us what you are running and we will tell you honestly whether it is worth starting.
