Our experience
We understand that decoupling monolithic architecture or systems is challenging
Decoupling systems into microservices can be complex, an estimated 70% to 95% of businesses’ digital transformation attempts fail. We are seeing many organisations facing these common challenges
- Business disruption
- Data migration challenges
- Lack of in-house expertise
- Scope creep
Careful planning and good project management is essential for the success of a system modernisation project, that’s why our mantra is the 5Ps – Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance.
Our approach
Legacy Modernisation
In our 25+ years of experience, we have found the following methodology to be the most effective in ensuring successful modernisation of legacy systems.
1
Assessing current architecture and systems
We analyse your existing architecture, pinpoint areas where the current system struggles, and define clear goals for the system.
2
Identifying the component
We map out the monolithic application into several components to understand how they interact and identify which parts are most critical or problematic.
3
Designing the solution
Our team of specialists then design a new architecture based on microservices, integrating a data management strategy as well as security and compliance requirements.
4
Developing the system and migrating
We migrate services to the new system incrementally to validate the process and minimise risks, testing at each stage of the migration. The Project Manager is on hand at all points to facilitate a smooth transition.
5
Providing support and upskilling
We provide detailed documentation including troubleshooting guides to support ongoing development and maintenance and offer training and upskilling programs to familiarise your team with the new architecture, tools and best practices.

FAQs
Q. Why is legacy application modernisation important?
A. Modernising legacy applications is essential as outdated systems have several limitations, require frequent maintenance, and perform poorly when compared to new solutions. By modernising legacy applications, businesses can solve these issues and enjoy the advantages that new technology provides.
Q. What are the benefits of legacy modernisation for businesses?
A. The benefits of legacy modernisation for businesses include improved security, reduced maintenance costs, increased efficiency thanks to more automated processes, and higher compatibility with other modern systems and platforms.
Q. How can platform integration services benefit businesses?
A. Businesses can benefit from platform integration as it offers increased operational efficiency, higher data accuracy, improved collaboration between teams, faster decision-making thanks to consolidated data sources, and overall improved efficiency.
Q. What is monolithic architecture?
A. Monolithic architecture is a software design paradigm where an application is built as a single unit, with one code base that tightly couples all functions of the application together. Each component must be present for the software to run.
Q. What does it mean to decouple a monolith?
A. Decoupling a monolith means breaking down a monolithic application or architecture into smaller independent components known as microservices. These are easier to maintain and update and offer more scalability and flexibility for businesses.
