Migration from legacy frameworks

Modernize your environment and reduce technical debt

Your framework is an important asset. It is the foundational structure that underpins your applications and hence the profitability of your work. You’ve likely refined and developed it over many years to provide what was once an optimal set of reusable components, tools, and guidelines to streamline your development process.

However, as time progresses, a reliance on older languages, libraries and tools can see even the most carefully structured framework become a liability as technical debt symptoms emerge.

These will likely include:

• Limited features and capabilities making it more difficult to implement new functionalities than with their modern counterparts.
• Difficulties integrating with modern systems.
• Problems eliminating security vulnerabilities resulting from unsupported framework components.
• Costly staffing challenges as developers look to keep abreast with current technology.

Technical debt accumulates over time, eventually reaching a tipping point when action becomes inevitable as framework technologies exhibit more and more resistance to change.

Our approach ensures migrations are swift, efficient, and secure. We offer customized recommendations to modernize your framework, supported by well-established processes and automation tools refined over numerous projects.
