What is Legacy Modernisation?

Enhance Without Replacement

Legacy System Modernisation involves upgrading or migrating older business systems to modern platforms while preserving critical functionality and data. We help you transform existing systems to deliver improved performance and security.

  • Preserving value: retain business logic & data
  • Minimising disruption: phased implementation
  • Enhancing security: modern compliance features
  • Improving performance: optimised architecture
  • Adding integration: connect with modern workflows
  • Future-proofing: support for growth

Approaches & Applications

Modernisation Approaches

Tailored strategies for every system. We choose the right path based on technical feasibility, cost, and business value.

Key Strategies:

  • Rehost (Lift & Shift): Move to modern infra with minimal changes.
  • Replatform: Optimise for cloud without changing core architecture.
  • Refactor: Modify architecture to leverage cloud-native features.
  • Rebuild: Redesign using modern architecture (Microservices).
  • Replace: Implement new solutions when modernisation isn't viable.

Industry Applications

Sector-specific modernisation success. Delivering value across diverse industries by upgrading critical operational systems.

Sectors:

  • Manufacturing: Integrating legacy production systems with IoT & ERP.
  • Financial Services: Upgrading core banking, adding mobile capabilities.
  • Government: Modernising citizen services and digital delivery.
  • Healthcare: Upgrading patient systems, adding telemedicine support.

Security & Compliance Enhancement

Modern protection for older systems. Bringing legacy applications up to current security standards and regulatory requirements.

Enhancements:

  • Controls: Multi-factor authentication, Encryption, SSO.
  • Monitoring: Audit logging and real-time alerts.
  • Compliance: Data protection (GDPR/POPIA), Financial reporting.

Technology Platforms

Infrastructure

  • Cloud: Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud Platform.
  • Databases: SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB.

Tools & Frameworks

  • Integration: APIs, Web Services, Middleware.
  • Security: Modern Auth (OAuth/SAML), Encryption.
  • Dev: .NET, Java, Python, React/Angular.
