Legacy Modernisation Services

Our strategies for upgrading outdated systems include a variety of approaches tailored to your specific needs:

• Rehosting (Lift and Shift). This involves migrating your legacy system to a more modern infrastructure, such as the cloud, without extensive software changes. It’s a quick fix that can reduce infrastructure costs and boost scalability, helping your business stay agile and ready for the future.
• Refactoring. We reorganize and optimize your existing code to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability, without compromising the system’s core functions.
• Replatforming. If a full rebuild isn’t necessary, we move your system to a new platform with minimal changes to the architecture. This ensures your legacy system leverages modern technologies, performing better without starting from scratch.
• Rebuilding. When more drastic action is needed, we replace the old system with a new one that uses the latest frameworks and technologies. Rebuilding allows us to replicate the functionality of your outdated system while offering a clean slate for improved efficiency.
• Replacing. Sometimes, the most straightforward option is to replace the legacy system entirely, particularly if it’s too costly or inefficient to upgrade. Our team ensures that the transition to a new system is smooth, reducing disruptions and maximizing the benefits.

If your current system is becoming increasingly difficult and costly to maintain, it may be time to consider a replacement. Frequent downtime, slow performance, or compatibility issues with new technologies are clear signs that the system is no longer keeping up with the demands of your business.

Another key indicator is when your legacy system can no longer scale effectively. As your business grows, it is necessary that your technology infrastructure can support increased data volumes, users, and transactions. If the legacy system limits your ability to innovate, or if it hampers your digital transformation efforts, it might be holding you back from achieving key business objectives.

Security vulnerabilities in outdated systems are also a major concern. As cyber threats evolve, legacy systems may not have the necessary updates or protections to defend against modern risks. If your system no longer meets compliance standards or fails to support security patches, a replacement should be prioritized.

Ultimately, replacing your legacy system should be driven by the need for greater efficiency, scalability, security, and the ability to stay competitive in the market.

Selecting a seasoned legacy modernization firm is essential to the project’s success. Here are some important things to think about:

Experience and expertise. Seek out a business that has a history of successfully updating outdated systems in a range of sectors. Their familiarity with contemporary frameworks, cloud computing, and APIs demonstrates their capacity to manage challenging projects.

Tailored solutions. The firm should provide strategies that are specifically designed to meet your operational requirements and corporate objectives. Steer clear of one-size-fits-all strategies because each legacy system has different needs and challenges.

Technical proficiency. Assess their knowledge of contemporary technologies including DevOps methodologies, containerization, and microservices. A business may provide scalable and future-proof solutions if it keeps up with new trends.

End-to-end services. A good modernization partner should offer end-to-end services, including system analysis, roadmap development, migration, integration, and ongoing support.

Client references. Examine case studies and client endorsements to determine their level of experience and client satisfaction. Reliability is demonstrated by successful initiatives and positive reviews.

Cooperation and communication. Pick a business that values open communication and keeps you updated at every stage. It is crucial that they comprehend your concept and give you regular updates.

Cost-effectiveness. Value should come before price, even though affordability is crucial. Long-term gains and reduced risks are supplied by a skilled partner providing superior services.

At Limeup, the price of upgrading legacy apps depends on various key elements. The complexity of the system plays a big part — while simple updates may not break the bank, a full rebuild can push the price tag higher.

The approach you take also affects the cost: rehosting might be a more budget-friendly option, but it won’t offer the same level of improvement as a complete rebuild. Adding cutting-edge tools or advanced features will also add to the price, just as the expertise of the team will.

Finally, the timeline is another piece of the puzzle as if the project needs to be done quickly, expect the cost to rise as extra resources are brought in. We at Limeup are committed to making sure you get the most bang for your buck.
