What are legacy applications?

A term “legacy software” generally refers to technology that’s been around for a long time and has grown to be obsolete. It still has a business need to fulfill, yet it is tied to a certain specific operating system or hardware that is no longer supported. Basically, it’s an application you need for your business to function, yet it is no longer nearly as effective as it used to be.

What is application modernisation?

Application modernisation is the process of updating the existing infrastructure, architecture, or even specific features of an existing legacy software. As a rule, the main goal of this process is to improve the performance and efficiency of the pre-developed app or to write a new one from scratch.

Why modernise legacy apps?

There are numerous reasons why outdated solutions need to be replaced or updated as soon as possible. Some of the most important arguments in favor of application modernisation include: Obsolete apps are very difficult, if not impossible, to scale They are difficult to update and/or integrate Vendors eventually stop providing security updates to outdated software

How can you modernise legacy applications?

You might be wondering what the application modernisation process looks like. Every company would have a slightly different approach to it, yet the core idea generally remains the same. Here’s how we get things done here at Miquido: Step 1: Project documentation and code review First and foremost, our team goes through the project documentation and the legacy app’s code . Thanks to that, we can gain some general knowledge about the technology stack that was used in the legacy application and the general idea about what needs to be done for a successful system modernisation. Step 2: Transition planning Then, we focus on identifying the core business features we need to maintain at all times in order to keep your business operations running. We always take our time to plan carefully and determine what needs to be done first and what can wait. Thanks to that, we are able to prioritise our work, all while letting you maintain business continuity. Step 3: Infrastructure audit and cost assessment Finally, we conduct an infrastructure audit . This helps us assess the legacy application’s performance, scalability, reliability and general cost of maintenance. This way, we answer the most important question : Can the current solution be used without extra costs? If it can’t, we determine the scale of costs you can expect in order to keep your legacy app running.

How is app modernisation different from digital transformation?

Modernisation and digital transformation are separate things with some common ground. Modernisation takes care of existing software. Digital transformation, however, may be applied not only to applications but also certain analog business processes requiring optimisation.

Software audit

We will put your current software through detailed testing and verification to assess whether it is as up-to-date and secure as it should be.

Code refactoring

The key sign of dealing with legacy software is struggling to keep it up to date with the latest security and tech regulations or add any new features. It’s impossible to replace such technology all at once, and yet you need to have it updated as soon as possible for the proper functioning of your day-to-day operations. We’ll carefully analyse your existing code and introduce all the necessary changes to ensure everything functions smoothly and meets the latest industry standards.
