Legacy Systems
Legacy systems are rarely the problem people think they are. We keep them safe, supported and well-documented — and help you decide when, and how, to replace them.
Common situations
we are called in for.
- A critical line-of-business system runs on unsupported software.
- The original supplier has gone or stopped supporting the product.
- You inherited an estate and nobody can explain how it works.
- You need a sensible roadmap to replace something risky.
Three phases.
No surprises.
Stabilise
Isolate, patch and monitor the system. Document it so the business is no longer one resignation away from a problem.
Sustain
Wrap the system with modern integrations, reporting and backup so it can keep earning its keep.
Sunset
When the time comes, we plan a controlled migration or retirement with clean data extraction.
Tangible
deliverables.
Every engagement ships documents, decisions and outcomes — not just hours. The exact list is agreed up front.
- 01Legacy system audit & risk register
- 02Hardening, isolation & monitoring
- 03Documentation and knowledge transfer
- 04Integration & reporting wrappers
- 05Modernisation or sunset roadmap
You probably
wanted to ask.
Will you recommend replacing systems that still work?+
Only when it is genuinely cheaper, safer or strategically necessary. Replacement for its own sake is rarely the right answer.
Can you support unusual or bespoke software?+
In most cases yes. Thirty years in the market means we have seen — and supported — a lot of unusual estates.
