Modernize

Modernize the system your business already runs on

Most of what we do here isn't a rewrite from scratch - it's a legacy .NET, SQL Server or other business-critical application that's become slow to change, risky to touch, or hard to hire for. We assess it first, then modernize it in phases.

Also part of this work

These aren't separate engagements - they're how the three services above actually get delivered.

Cloud Migration

Moving a legacy system to Azure or AWS is part of how we sequence a modernization engagement, not a separate line item - it's worked through directly in Legacy .NET & SQL Server Modernization.

Data & Database Migration

SQL Server upgrades, schema cleanup and data migration happen alongside the application work in the three services above.

Non-.NET Legacy (Java, PHP)

We've assessed and modernized systems outside .NET using the same phased approach. Tell us the specifics and we'll say honestly whether we're the right fit.

Frequently asked questions

Do you only work with .NET?

No. .NET and SQL Server modernization is where we have the deepest track record, but the same assessment-first, phased approach applies to other legacy stacks, including Java and PHP.

How do you decide whether to modernize, rescue, or rebuild?

It starts with an assessment of the system as it actually runs, not as the documentation claims. From there we use a Keep/Refactor/Replace/Rebuild framework - a full rewrite is one option among several, not the default. See Legacy .NET & SQL Server Modernization for the full methodology.

What if we don't have documentation for the system?

That's the normal starting point for this kind of work, not a blocker. Application Rescue exists specifically for undocumented, inherited systems - we map it before we touch anything.

Will modernizing this mean a risky big-bang rewrite?

No. Every modernization engagement we run is phased, so the system keeps working while it's being improved rather than being replaced in one high-risk cutover.

Not sure which of these fits?

Tell us what the system does today and what's wrong with it - we'll tell you honestly which path applies.
