Software modernisation & refurbishment

Carrying the benefits of existing solutions into the future

Does your company use an ageing but tried-and-tested legacy solution that no longer really fits into your modern IT landscape? I can help you navigate the challenges posed by outdated underlying technology (e.g. Visual BASIC, MS Office VBA, ANSI-C, Pascal, etc.), evaluate the merits, feasibility and approaches for migrating to modern technologies, and work with you to find ways to continue making effective use of tried-and-tested solutions by embedding them into your IT landscape using tailor-made interfaces – without creating ‘castle software’ – a structure with technological walls that seem impossible to overcome, with an additional little turret here and a small window there. However, if none of this makes much sense, I will outline ways to achieve a new implementation that is as well-integrated and future-proof as possible.
