Software modernization
Upgrade the product you have, without starting over
Make your existing software fast, safe and easy to change again
Most products don't need a rewrite. They need someone who can understand the existing code, fix what slows the team down, and keep shipping while doing it.
We modernize established products step by step: updating the technology, paying down technical debt and adding the features your users are asking for.
What we modernize
Refactoring legacy code
We untangle the parts of the codebase everyone is afraid to touch, add tests around them and make them safe to change again.
Framework and platform upgrades
Out-of-support frameworks, languages and libraries brought up to current versions, one safe step at a time.
Cloud migration
Moving from your own servers or an aging setup to AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, with automated deployments and monitoring.
Performance and security
Slow pages, timeouts, outdated dependencies and known vulnerabilities found, prioritized and fixed.
New features on an old base
We follow your current coding standards and build new features on top of what works, including AI features.
Taking over from another team
If the original developers are gone, we learn the system, document it and take over its maintenance and development.
How we work
Product evaluation
We review your code, architecture, infrastructure and data, talk to the people who use and run the product, and look at your market and competitors. You get an honest picture of what's holding the product back.
Exploratory sessions
Over several sessions we go through your business and technical needs, your users, and the quick wins with the most impact.
Roadmap and estimate
We prepare a roadmap, the key technical decisions, a team proposal and an estimate, and refine them with your feedback.
Sprint 0
We set up environments, tooling and processes, and prioritize the backlog with you.
Iterations
We tackle the riskiest parts first, then move on to new features. Every sprint ends with a demo, and your production system stays up the whole time.
Release and ongoing support
The first release brings the most important fixes and quick wins. After that we keep improving, maintaining and planning the next releases with you.
Common questions
Do we need to rewrite everything?
Rarely. A full rewrite is slow and risky. We usually modernize in place, replacing the worst parts step by step while the product keeps running.
Will our users notice downtime?
We plan releases so the production system stays available, and roll out changes gradually so problems can be caught and rolled back early.
Can you work with our in-house team?
Yes. We can lead the work or join your developers as a team extension, sharing knowledge as we go.
