Legacy modernization

A route off the system nobody wants to touch, taken in increments rather than a rewrite.

DEFINITION

Definition

Legacy modernization replaces a constrained system in bounded increments by mapping dependencies, isolating change boundaries and moving one capability at a time without requiring a full rewrite.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF

  • You can provide access to the current system.
  • A named owner can supply a named business decision maker.
  • Your team needs a migration sequence, one working replacement increment and a cutover runbook.

HONEST FIT

Not for you if

the only acceptable outcome is a single immediate replacement of the entire existing system.

HOW IT GOES

A eight to twelve weeks working range

  1. 01

    Set the boundary

    Confirm the scope, the owner and the decisions that sit inside eight to twelve weeks.

  2. 02

    Inspect the inputs

    Your team supplies access to the current system, representative production records, a named business decision maker, existing architecture documentation.

  3. 03

    Build the work

    We complete the agreed items and keep exceptions with a named owner.

  4. 04

    Hand over the artefact

    You receive a migration sequence, one working replacement increment and a cutover runbook.

WHAT YOU GET
