The system works, nobody wants to touch it, and the people who wrote it have left. Rewriting from scratch is how most of these projects fail. We modernize incrementally, so the business keeps running while the software gets better.
Reducing risk on systems that are load-bearing for your operation.
An honest read on what you have, what is genuinely at risk, and what the sequence should be, including the parts we would advise leaving alone.
Moving functionality piece by piece behind a stable interface, so value arrives continuously instead of on a single high-risk cutover date.
Containerization, deployment automation and hosting moves that reduce operational fragility rather than simply relocating it.
Moving and reconciling data between old and new systems with validation at each step, because this is where most modernizations actually come apart.
Building a safety net around undocumented behaviour first, so changes can be made with evidence rather than hope.
Capturing the knowledge that currently lives in one person's head, so the next change does not depend on their availability.
Systems we have re-architected, integrated and brought back under control.
An enterprise XML processing engine for industrial automation, transforming and integrating data across manufacturing and clinical research systems.

Read MoreWe choose tools to fit the problem and your team's ability to maintain them, not the other way round.
No long discovery invoices before anyone writes code. We aim to have you looking at working software early.
Thirty minutes. You describe the problem, we ask hard questions and tell you how we would approach it, including if we are not the right team.
We define the smallest version that proves the hard part, agree the technical approach, and give you a fixed plan with milestones.
Working software in front of you on a regular cadence, so direction changes stay cheap and surprises surface early.
Deployment, monitoring and ongoing support. We build systems we expect to still be maintaining in three years.

Almost never, and we will say so plainly. Full rewrites tend to run long, and the new system has to reproduce years of accumulated behaviour nobody documented. Incremental migration behind a stable interface is slower to sound impressive and much more likely to finish.
Frequently, yes. Much of the work is reading carefully and building tests around current behaviour before changing anything. Tell us what it is written in on the call and we will be straight about whether we are the right team.
That is the point of the incremental approach. Functionality moves behind a stable interface with the option to route back, so there is no single cutover on which everything depends.
By risk and cost of failure rather than by how unpleasant the code is. The assessment ranks components by what breaking them would actually do to the business.
Tell us what you're trying to build. We'll spend 30 minutes understanding the problem and tell you how we'd approach it.
