Legacy system modernization

Prepare your system for the next 10 years of operation.

Let’s discuss your needs

“Can we postpone modernization for the next year?”

With Makimo, such questions won’t remain unanswered.

There are five paths to legacy systems.

  1. Misaligned goals: A legacy system can emerge due to misaligned business goals and feature creep when incremental additions or changes to the system, driven by fluctuating business objectives, lead to a progressively more complex system without an overarching plan.
  2. Lost knowledge: As employees leave an organization, valuable knowledge about the system’s operations, design, and underlying logic can be lost. When this lost knowledge is not properly documented or transferred to new staff, organizations can be left with a legacy system whose workings are not fully understood.
  3. Inconsistency: In an organization without standardization or guidelines for technology use and development style, various teams may use different technologies, programming languages, or development methodologies to implement different system parts.
  4. Technologies of the past: A system can also become a legacy system if it is built using programming languages, support software, or hardware technologies that are now outdated or no longer supported.
  5. Bounded by physical limits: Legacy systems can also emerge due to being bound by physical limits and complexity. For instance, a system might have been designed when storage and processing resources were much more limited than they are today.

We focus on

Legacy system audit

We couldn’t know nearly enough to provide valuable guidance by being just bystanders. Just like a doctor needs to get to know the patient to plan effective treatment, we work systematically to understand the whole picture. The whys, the whens, the hows.

Migration plans & governance models

We build on years of engineering experience of the whole team to advise on viable solutions. These can be then transformed into migration plans, ROI calculations and models of governance for future maintenance, alignment and migrations.

Packaged Business Capabilities

We help in packing the existing business knowledge into aligned packages, exporting APIs and event channels, integrating them with other system parts. Whenever possible, technical debt is reduced in critical parts of the system, speeding up the ability to innovate and reducing maintenance costs.

Timely delivery

We structure our work so that you will have tangible and actionable effects fit to your delivery/release schedule. Some of the legacy system extension projects can deliver tangible results in as soon as two weeks.

Makimo have done several projects for us and we are delighted with the results.

You can trust us to solve the right problems with the right tools.

Python

Python has been growing steadily over the years and is now in first place according to the TIOBE index. From automation, web development to data science machine learning — it’s a truly general purpose language, due to its simplicity.

AWS

Amazon Web Services is the leader in cloud computing technology. Properly incorporated, it reduces cost of server maintenance, scales to accommodate current and future user base and provides necessary resilience for systems operation.

Django

Django is a web framework, a solid foundation for quickly building small and medium-scale data management systems and web applications.

Flask

Flask is a Python microframework that enables building APIs, microservices and Packaged Business Capabilities.

Clojure

Clojure is a robust functional programming language built on top of Java. Due to its resilience, it’s recommended in more rigorous environments, such as retail or banking, examples being Walmart and Nubank.

Kotlin

When a hybrid approach to mobile development is not enough for your needs, we can redesign the app using native technologies such as Kotlin on the Android platform.

Terraform

The Infrastructure-as-Code approach is a huge stepping stone in enabling Continuous Delivery on cloud platforms. What it means is that you could have features coded and deployed in hours, not days or weeks.

React

React is the most popular JavaScript frontend framework backed by Facebook. It enables building large, interactive web application frontends.

Vue.js

One of our JavaScript frameworks of choice, Vue.js is a tested frontend framework that is performant, robust and easy to adopt in projects of any scale.

Svelte

Svelte is an approach to compile and build frontend to plain JavaScript. It optimizes frontend code for size and performance.

Our strength comes from a careful act of balancing quality with delivery time, depending on your business goals and needs.
