Modernise old software without losing what works
The software your business relies on is old, slow, or only one person in your business understands it. We find out what it really does, including the steps nobody wrote down, then keep what works and replace what holds you back, in stages, with your data moved and checked.
Priced for your project, in writing, before any work starts.
What you get
What it really does
The screens, calculations, connections and unwritten steps people depend on, written down.
A look at the code
The code, technology, add-ons and limits of the current system.
The right size of fix
Targeted fixes, replacing it in stages, or a rebuild, compared against what the business needs.
Data and connections planned
What data and links are kept, how they are checked, and who does what on the day of the switch.
A tested switch-over
Trial runs of the move, checks on real cases, and a way back if something goes wrong.
Handed over properly
Notes on how to run it, training, and a plan for ongoing care.
Common starting points
- Inherited web apps
- Understand and improve an app built by a previous developer or supplier.
- Access databases and in-house tools
- Plan the next step for a database or tool that has become hard to keep running.
- Upgrading in stages
- Replace one part of a system at a time, keeping the processes and connections that work.
How it works
We look at the current software, how it is used and the access we can get.
Choose the route and the first stage of work.
Build and test the changes, and rehearse moving the data.
Switch over as planned, then hand over notes and support.
Questions people ask
Can you take over software from another developer?
Often, yes. We start by checking access to the code, who owns it, its licences, its hosting and the work needed. That decides what we can take on.
Does everything have to be replaced?
No. We compare keeping and improving parts of it with replacing it in stages or all at once.
How is the switch-over handled?
The plan sets out the data checks, trial runs, timing, who does what, and how to go back if needed.
