Move off legacy systems with less manual grind

We modernise legacy systems using AI-assisted code analysis, refactoring and migration tooling, cutting the manual effort of moving off systems nobody wants to touch.

What is included

What you get

Scope is agreed with you up front and tailored to your situation. These are the building blocks.

Codebase discovery

Automated analysis and documentation of undocumented systems, dependencies and business rules.

Refactoring and translation

AI-assisted conversion and cleanup of code, with every change reviewed by an engineer.

Test generation

Characterisation tests that capture current behaviour so migrations can be verified, not assumed.

Staged cut-over planning

Incremental migration paths that reduce risk and keep the business running.

Who it is for

Is this right for you?

Organisations running ageing applications whose original authors have moved on, where risk and cost of change keep postponing modernisation.

Typical uses

Common starting points

  • Understanding and documenting a poorly documented system
  • Moving code to a modern language or framework
  • Breaking a monolith into maintainable components
  • Building a safety net of tests before changing critical code
How we deliver

From first call to results

Short feedback loops and working output at every step, in overlap with your time zone.

01

Inventory

Catalogue code, data and integrations and agree what to migrate, retire or keep.

02

Understand

Extract business rules and build tests that pin down current behaviour.

03

Transform

Migrate in stages, using AI assistance with human review at each step.

04

Validate & cut over

Compare old and new behaviour, then switch over with a rollback plan.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is AI-generated code reliable enough for this?

AI speeds up the work, but engineers review every change and tests confirm behaviour matches the original.

Will the business be disrupted?

We plan for incremental cut-over and parallel running where possible to limit disruption.

What languages and platforms do you handle?

Scope depends on the system. Share what you run and we will say honestly whether it is a good fit.
