Legacy Modernisation
Services

A legacy system is an outdated part of the company’s software that still works but cannot be scaled and/or effectively changed. As a result, legacy systems severely limit business opportunities and prevent integration with new channel partners, cloud applications, or other new solutions. Suppose you’re struggling with a lack of support or skills on the market. In that case, the maintenance gets too expensive, cost-generating technical problems hinder the business efficiency, inability to add new features, and lack of security. You need the help of a professional legacy software modernization company.

At Digicode, we have two legacy system modernization strategies. First, if legacy system modernization is impossible or not cost-effective, we use a revolutionary strategy – shut down the old system and from the ground-up infrastructure transformation. The most common cases that require this strategy are when you need to adapt one business infrastructure to another one in mergers and acquisitions, or your legacy system has become a risk, or when their vendors no longer support your outdated systems.
Another option is an evolutionary strategy that assumes a step-by-step, gradual transformation of an outdated system, which is less radical and does not interrupt the main business process. This is the preferred method for using current technologies to enhance a legacy system.
Because there’s no one-size-fits-all approach, we focus on the business needs and goals of each business and focus on future growth opportunities. We can help you make an informed and impartial decision about which enterprise technology services will help you to manage risk/cost more efficiently.

As a professional legacy modernization company, we transform your age-old applications and make them future-ready. Of course, if the business logic of the legacy system has not changed and is performing properly, we can keep it. We will, however, try to optimize all processes and add new opportunities for automation for even more operations. We can reuse the databases and other data sources when possible.

Digicode develops successful legacy modernization solutions including system assessment, business rules mining, remediation, re-platform, and migration services. The cost of legacy modernisation service depends on many factors. So, first, we need to evaluate your software, identify key business requirements, prioritize what needs to be done, and then, based on this research, calculate the legacy system modernization cost depending on the team members and rates. Then, you can contact us to discuss your transformation journey.

In our practice, we use 6 basic approaches to legacy application modernization services:

• Encapsulation is the process of reusing the code in its present environment linked by API to new presentation layers.
• Rehosting ensures easy migration of the legacy system to a different physical, virtual, or cloud infrastructure without changing code or functionality.
• Replatforming allows the migration of a legacy system or its components to a new platform with minimal code changes.
• Refactoring optimizes existing code without changing its external environment.
• Rearchitecting involves building a new architecture and making changes to the code.
• Rebuilding entails a complete system change and a new development from scratch according to the needs of a business

Choosing the right one from the variety of modernizing legacy IT systems is difficult. You should understand that choosing the most common or most popular approach is not the right way to make a decision. Every legacy system and every business is unique, and what works best for one system may be disastrous for another.
Always consult a professional legacy software modernization company before making such an important decision. You can request a free consultation with the Digicode team to develop a legacy system modernization strategy tailored to your business needs.
