Application modernization services include re-developing, re-designing, or consolidation of legacy systems(or old technologies) into effective, user-friendly and extensible solutions using API first and test-driven development methodology. Moreover, the process can include custom UI/UX development renovation and modernization.

The main aim of any enterprise application modernization process is to help companies to create new business value from existing applications and therefore increase their revenues, competitiveness and improve market positioning.

Modernization challenges we solve:

No actual or detailed documentation (functional specification)

To smoothly substitute the old technologies, we mine business rules from existing application code and documentation, investigate code dependencies and component integrations. We readily cooperate with IT departments and other employees as well as third-party vendors, customer partners, and other people knowledgeable of the application work.

Difficulty to predict modernization results

To keep the modernization process manageable, traceable and visible we split the application into several independent modules to introduce changes fast and incrementally. Also, we recognize the critical role of risk management and implement a thorough analysis of the enterprise app basing on technical, business and economic considerations.

Operational downtime

We ensure thorough testing coverage and broad monitoring to make sure modernized applications run as expected and don’t disrupt your business processes.

An application’s long freeze-up

We can split the application into independent loosely coupled parts (e.g., microservices) for independent updates.

Our technological expertise:

Backend: Grails, Java, Spring Boot, Spring MVC, Microservices, Node.js

Frontend: React.js, Vue.js, AngularJS, etc

Mobile App: ReactNative, Flutter, Ionic, etc

Cloud tech: AWS, MS Azure, GCP
