Legacy system migration and modernization
Moving aging systems off unsupported runtimes, frameworks and databases, incrementally, so the system stays live throughout. Covers technical debt paydown and cleanup of AI-generated code, delivered as a scoped project at a price agreed up front.
What it costs
- Fixed cost, agreed before work starts.
- Starts with an audit, which is what defines the scope.
What you get
- A migration plan: the order of work, and what breaks if it is done in a different order.
- The migration itself, shipped in stages, each one deployable on its own.
- Tests and documentation for everything that changed.
- A handover your team can pick up, and an honest note on where they will struggle with it.
Common questions
Do you rewrite everything from scratch?
No. Full rewrites are how a six-month project becomes a two-year one that never ships. We modernize incrementally so the system stays alive and shippable the entire time... that is, unless you want a full rewrite
Can you work with our existing team?
Yes. We document as we go and leave your team with a codebase they understand, not a new black box that only we can maintain.
Do you clean up AI-generated code?
Yes. Code that an agent wrote and nobody reviewed gets the same treatment as any other legacy liability: audited, tested, and made safe to change.
