Our Legacy Application Modernization Services

Edvantis is a seasoned software development company that can turn outdated systems into a new opportunity. We can ensure a seamless transition from end-of-life (EOL) platforms, build new scalable solutions, or refactor inefficient software applications. 

01.

IT Architecture Modernization

Transform your app per modern architecture standards while preserving core business rules and logic. Migrate from monolith structures to component-based or microservices architecture. With Edvantis gearing the modernization process, you can improve software performance, eliminate security risks, and lower maintenance expenses.
02.

Application Reengineering

Re-engineer heavily patched software to improve user experience, simplify future product development, and improve maintainability. Edvantis can assess your app, manage accumulated technical debt, perform code refactoring, migrate from outdated technologies. Additionally, alongside your existing desktop app, we can develop a web or mobile app, enabling you to operate from anywhere.

Data Management Modernization

Make use of large volumes of valuable data that exist within your outdated software. With experienced Data Scientists, we integrate data from a wide range of sources, enable real-time processing, and set up efficient storage. Further, we can operationalize your data, preparing it for advanced analytics tools and AI models.
05.

UI/UX Redesign

Optimize your applications per your dynamic target audience by revising user flows, upgrading interfaces, and ensuring a seamless user experience across all your platforms – from web and mobile to embedded.

How Edvantis Modernized Legacy Codebase for a Major German Telecom Provider

The Freenet Group is a leading telecom network provider in Germany, serving 8.3 million customers through its four major brands. The company contacted Edvantis when its original systems, based on Java 6 and JBoss (WildFly) application servers, no longer matched its evolving needs. 

Edvantis assembled a team familiar with the Spring Boot framework, Java 11 (the newest version at that time), and mono and flux libraries. We aimed to migrate applications to a new Java 11 and Spring Boot while preserving the business logic. 

Together we:

  • Performed code refactoring and improved its quality within the newer Java 11 version
  • Helped the client migrate to a future-proofed microservices architecture
  • Upgraded legacy libraries using Spring Boot features
  • Created code coverage reports and performed integration testing

Our Cooperation Models

We have designed our service models to foster transparent collaboration, high customer satisfaction, and adaptability to any new circumstances. Like LEGO blocks, you can customize and combine our service offerings to create your ideal partnership for legacy modernization of any scale. 

Industries We Serve

There’s no one-size-fits-all legacy modernization strategy. We treat every project as unique in its challenges and potential, selecting and implementing a modernization plan tailored to both your business needs and industry requirements. 

We understand markets well enough to not just execute a set of instructions but also suggest how to ensure compliance with industry standards, security requirements, and local regulations.  

  • Software and Hi-tech
  • Healthtech
  • Real Estate
  • Transportation and Logistics
  • Public Sector
  • Fintech

Stages of our Legacy App Modernization Services

Upon your first contact, our engagement managers will get back to you in no less than 1 day. We will schedule a call to better understand your business needs and technology environment. Then the process will go through the following steps.  

discovery
01. Discovery Phase

We schedule a series of workshops to audit the state of your current solutions and IT infrastructure. We also identify your project vision, expected modernization results, allocated budget and resources, as well as potential risks and limitations.

proposal
02. Proposal and Project Kick-Off

We put together a proposal, in which we detail the project scope, modernization strategies, team roles, preferred technologies, anticipated timelines, and recommended cooperation models: staff augmentation, dedicated team, fixed-cost project, or digital transformation. As soon as we agree on the terms, we countersign MSAs and SoWs and begin working on the project.

software-green
03. Implementation

We now realize the selected legacy modernization strategy: rehost your solution on a virtual/on-prem/cloud environment, migrate to a new runtime platform, restructure the code base, design a new architecture, or rebuild the entire system from scratch. Usually, we follow Scrum methodology with 2-week sprints, where you can continuously review the interim results.

feedback
04. Feedback Collection

We regularly check if our deliverables satisfy your stakeholders – employees, clients, or users. Upon rollout, we conduct user acceptance testing and incorporate any adjustments or features requested by users.

Software and HiTech
05. Maintenance and Support

We seamlessly transition you to our IT operations services with three levels of technical support, 24/7 system monitoring, and ongoing SRE engineering. We can respond to customer requests as defined by SLAs, troubleshoot complex issues, and develop user-friendly documentation.
