Signs your project is in trouble

5 – 7 years ago, your software system was top of the class and users loved it. Now, not so much.

Like most apps, your app software has not stood the test of time. Your main revenue source revenue could soon become a black hole of expenses. You need app modernization services if you see these signs:

Skyrocketing maintenance costs

Costs of updates and fixes keep increasing while ROI keeps decreasing. You have reached the point where fixes cost more than replacing software and hardware.

Outdated
technologies

You invested in technology that has lost its first-place status in the market. Newer technologies do the job better.

Lack of available
expertise

You have an increasingly harder time finding experts to work on your outdated tech stack. Few engineers want to work on “antiquated” software/hardware.

Web and mobile
compatibility

Your software does not work correctly on users’ modern devices. Your software features are not available anymore because they are out of date.

Increasing security
threats

You lack specialists who understand how a system works. This might expose vulnerabilities in your software making it an easy target for cyber-attacks.

Performance
issues

Your app software is slow and buggy. Your once-loyal audience is starting to jump ship. They are leaving, because you do not seem to care about them, and your competitors offer better, faster bug-free apps.

Application Modernization Services We Offer for Different Business Needs

The range of our services covers the goals and challenges you can face when considering an update for your internal business systems or commercial product: 

Application Modernization Consulting

If you are unsure where to start with app modernization and how much it can cost you, we can help. Our experts complete a comprehensive audit that lets you understand the scope of work, challenges, and required steps.

Legacy System Transformation

We can gradually replace deprecated technologies with the newest frameworks, increasing software stability, performance, and security. Our programmers also help you add long-awaited features to your system.

Legacy App Migration
to Cloud

Our software engineers break down a clumsy, unwieldy code base into microservices and transfer software to the cloud. This increases software consistency and makes cost-efficient scaling possible.

Application
reengineering

If no software documentation is available, our developers focus on reverse engineering to determine how the source code works. Then, we recreate the logic in the new software.

Application
Re-Architecting

Rearchitecting improves app logic by adjusting source code to real needs and processes. Our dedicated development team restructures and rebuilds software to close vulnerabilities, improve expansion, and enhance app performance.

DevOps
Integration

Fast feature shipments play the key role in meeting high customer expectations. We can improve their pace by introducing CI/CD pipeline and DevOps best practices on your project, decreasing time and scope needed to test and deploy your app.

Application
Containerization

We can introduce containerization as part of the CI/CD pipeline. This will allow you to efficiently manage millions of software copies and optimize infrastructure resource costs by flexibly switching them on and off based on real-time user load.

Application
Integration

Limited integration is one of the biggest concerns for legacy systems and can be resource-intensive. Our experts examine implementation options and offer a plan that best fits your needs and vision.

Application
Refactoring

Refactoring eliminates a project's technical debt, thus decreasing software maintenance costs. Our developers unravel difficult-to-maintain source code left after years of regular updates, enhancing stability and performance.

Our Five-Step Approach to App Modernization

Here is our results-oriented, tried-and-tested workflow for mission-critical and revenue-generating software:

  1. Initial assessment

    For your peace of mind, we sign an NDA. Then, we analyze your system to identify risks and priorities. Alternatively, we start with a pilot task to determine how best to revamp and reinvigorate your system.

  2. Creating a roadmap of improvements

    Based on the initial assessment results, our engineers provide the optimum roadmap. The offer includes an improvement plan and cooperation terms.

  3. Implementation

    After we sign a contract, the development team immediately starts working on app modernization. You receive updates on improvements every two weeks, along with a detailed report on time spent and goals reached.

  4. Performance analysis

    Together, we analyze the impact of introduced improvements on system performance, stability, security level, and more. You get feedback from end-users, which we incorporate in upcoming sprints.

  5. 24/7 support

    Every app requires continuous maintenance. To detect and eliminate threats, your IT Craft team monitors your software system health and security 24/7/365.

Benefits of Starting Application Modernization

Still hesitant about modernizing your app? Here are a few reasons to start it:

Decreased maintenance costs

After updating technologies and architecture, your software becomes scalable and starts consuming server resources optimally. Also, adding new features requires less time and costs.

Enhanced
security

Implemented zero-trust approach, regular security updates, and closed vulnerabilities in the source code make your solution a difficult target for cybercriminals.

Web and mobile compatibility

Your app looks great on the newest user devices and does not glitch after OS updates. All features become available, allowing you to increase user satisfaction and retention.

Stable, high-performance software

The optimized codebase and up-to-date technology enable software stability and best performance, eliminating crashes and service slowdowns that require an immediate response from the development team and distract them from deliveries.

Wide talent
selection

Few developers are happy to work with legacy technologies, as they see no career progress in mastering them. Instead, you can find tech talents who will work with the new tech in many locations much easier.

  • improving performance
  • cleaning software codebase
  • eliminating tech debt
  • enhancing software stability
  • decreasing long-term maintenance costs
Do I have to switch off my legacy system for the time of software modernization?

No, it’s not necessary. As part of our modernization workflow, we continue to maintain the old functionality until we deliver the new functionality and ensure that it works stably and does not halt your business processes.

What is the problem with legacy systems?

The problem with legacy systems is that they become too expensive for their owners. They become buggy, unstable, prone to cyberattacks, and incompatible with new features, making the dedicated team work on its maintenance rather than improvement and expansion.

 

At the same time, finding skilled programmers on a legacy project becomes difficult because of lacking expertise with old technology and little motivation to acquire it.
