Code Modernization
Ease your legacy code headaches
Your existing code base can be a great asset, but it can also feel like a liability as issues accumulate over time as “technical debt” symptoms materialize.
- Unsupported, outdated technologies mean that integration with modern systems becomes difficult - and the recruitment of specialized talent is challenging and costly.
- Legacy code is often overly complex and tangled, making it hard to modify without introducing new bugs – not least because older systems often lack comprehensive automated tests, increasing the risk of errors when changes are made.
- Older software is more likely to have unpatched security vulnerabilities, making it a potential target for bad actors.
Technical debt accumulates over time, eventually reaching a tipping point when the code’s inbuilt resistance to change demands action.
KDAB offers extensive expertise in code migration, underpinned by comprehensive processes and automation tools that have been proven and continuously refined over many projects. We offer tailored recommendations to modernize your codebase and execute migrations swiftly, efficiently, and securely. We meticulously identify risks, propose practical incremental steps, and provide a thorough assessment to safely navigate your journey from technical debt to your desired destination.
KDAB can help you to:
Our initial migration workshops include:
- an analysis of the existing code base, revealing inherent code migration risks and challenges,
- a draft, step-by-step project plan and timeline for your migration,
- an estimation of the effort involved,
- a definitive list of code migration risks and trade-offs to discuss with management and stakeholders,
- an assessment of possible training needs resulting from the migration.
Let KDAB do it for you
When it comes to migrations, building up expertise internally for a one-time project may not make economic sense. Leveraging KDAB's extensive experience from porting millions of lines of code, can ensure the success of your porting project.
