The Legacy System Problem

Legacy systems are the silent killer of business agility and innovation. While they keep the lights on, they drain resources, create security vulnerabilities, and prevent digital transformation. The cost of inaction far exceeds the investment in modernization.

Escalating Maintenance Costs

Legacy systems consume 60-80% of IT budgets while delivering minimal business value. Costs continue rising as skilled resources become scarce.

BUSINESS IMPACT: $2M-$10M annually

Security & Compliance Risks

Outdated systems lack modern security features, creating vulnerabilities and compliance violations (GDPR, SOX, HIPAA).

BUSINESS IMPACT: Potential $10M+ in fines

Innovation Paralysis

Technical debt prevents adoption of cloud, AI, mobile, and other transformative technologies. Competitive disadvantage grows.

BUSINESS IMPACT: 30-50% slower time-to-market

Talent Shortage

Finding developers who know COBOL, mainframe, or outdated frameworks becomes increasingly difficult and expensive.

BUSINESS IMPACT: 200%+ higher labor costs

Modernization Strategy Options

We tailor our approach based on your business goals, budget, timeline, and risk tolerance. There's no one-size-fits-all solution.

Replatforming

Move to modern infrastructure (cloud) with minimal code changes

✓ ADVANTAGES
• Faster implementation
• Lower risk
• Cloud benefits
• Cost savings
⚠ CONSIDERATIONS
• Limited modernization
• Technical debt remains
BEST FOR: Stable applications needing infrastructure updates
TIMELINE: 3-6 months

Refactoring

Restructure and optimize code while maintaining functionality

✓ ADVANTAGES
• Improved maintainability
• Better performance
• Reduced complexity
• Lower long-term costs
⚠ CONSIDERATIONS
• Time intensive
• Requires deep expertise
BEST FOR: Applications with sound architecture but poor code quality
TIMELINE: 6-12 months

Rearchitecting

Redesign application architecture for modern patterns (microservices, cloud-native)

✓ ADVANTAGES
• Maximum flexibility
• Scalability
• Modern tech stack
• Future-proof
⚠ CONSIDERATIONS
• Higher cost
• Longer timeline
• More complex
BEST FOR: Critical applications requiring significant transformation
TIMELINE: 9-18 months

Rebuilding

Completely rewrite the application from scratch with modern technologies

✓ ADVANTAGES
• Clean slate
• Modern UX/UI
• Latest technologies
• No technical debt
⚠ CONSIDERATIONS
• Highest cost
• Longest timeline
• Risk of feature gaps
BEST FOR: Applications beyond salvage or with dramatically changed requirements
TIMELINE: 12-24 months
