Why software modernization?

If every update becomes a nail-biter, innovation gets stuck in day-to-day business and you may already lack the expertise in your team to keep your existing systems running reliably, then technical debt becomes a real threat – to stability, development and growth.

Legacy systems are often among a company's most valuable assets. They bundle central knowledge and reliably support daily business over a long period of time. Software modernization is a crucial step in securing the value and lifespan of existing systems.

Software modernization will get your company moving again: Your IT becomes more stable, more secure and fit for new technologies. More efficient development processes and a modern organizational structure are possible. In this way, you can ensure that your IT actively drives your business forward.

Let's discuss how we can modernize your software together.

Status quo analysis

Find out how your software is doing
Before you embark on modernization, it is important to understand the current state of your system in detail. We work with you to analyse the architecture, implementation, processes and organization of your current systems – relying on automation and using AI technologies where appropriate. In this way, we create a solid foundation for the next steps. Our architects and agile coaches work closely with you to precisely identify the weaknesses, potential and levers of your system.

Take the first step!
⁠Find out the current state of your software with an architecture review or gap analysis. Knowing exactly where you stand creates a solid foundation for the next steps. We offer the following workshops for this purpose.

  • Software/architecture review
  • Architecture review with code analysis
  • Gap analysis

Renovation

Your existing software, transformed for the future
Sometimes a renovation is enough to bring an existing system back up to scratch. With the renovation approach, we preserve the valuable core but optimize it in a targeted manner – according to your needs. Whether refactoring to increase code and architecture quality, further developing and implementing modern test strategies, improving security (e.g. integrating modern IAM mechanisms), creating accessibility or modernizing the look and feel – we ensure that your system is up to date and optimally supports your requirements. Our architects, full-stack developers and process experts are always at your side.

//

Strategy development

Your compass for modernization
⁠Do you want clarity about where the journey is taking you? We will work with you to develop a customized strategy that will take you safely from the current state to your desired target state. In terms of technology, organization and processes, we create a roadmap that guides you through the modernization process in a targeted manner. Our architects and process experts work with you to ensure that your modernization is not only planned effectively, but also sustainably.

//

Architecture migration

Your step from old to new
Whether you are still using mainframes, client-server systems or other architectures – we will guide you safely through the migration to modern alternatives. With our understanding of old and new architectural approaches and our expertise in containerization, microservices, modularity, serverless computing, APIs and cloud services, we make your IT fit for the future. We support you from analysis and design through to implementation. In this way, we preserve what is value-adding from your existing environment, combine it with new approaches and create a future-proof solution for your business.

//

Rebuild

Your new start – modern, user-centered and efficient
Sometimes there's no getting around a new build – and this is exactly where we support you with our holistic rebuild approach. We analyze your existing software, retain the essentials and create something completely new at the same time. Whether frontend, backend, testing or operations – our team will take your system to a new, future-proof dimension. The entire process is agile, user-centered and designed for long-term added value. Our developers, architects, project managers and agile coaches are at your side with help and advice, from the initial analysis to the final implementation.
