Modernize, Maintain And Further Develop Legacy Applications
Not all software needs to be reinvented. We help you future-proof your legacy systems and applications and realise their full potential once again.
Legacy applications often form the backbone of your business. Over time, however, they can become a burden: maintenance becomes increasingly complex and expensive. Internal expertise is lost in some areas, and to make matters worse, security requirements are increasing. This creats large gaps that still need to be closed. At the same time, the old IT architecture hinders innovation, new features, and the integration of more modern applications.
Many companies are therefore faced with the key question: How can i modernize my existing application in a meaningful way and operate it stably in the longterm.
We support you in making informed decisions. This ensures that your legacy application remains stable, secure, and future proof. And all this while it forms the basis for future innovations.
Benefits Of Maintaining And Further Development
Targeted maintenance and modernization of your legacy applications brings immediate benefits for the ongoing operation and future of your system.
- Stability and security through minimization of failure risks
- Extensibility and future proofing with modern APIs
- Reduction in operating costs thanks to optimized maintainability
- Preservation of previous investments in code, logic, and processes
- Basis for future transformation, e.g., toward the cloud, modularity, or container based platforms
Our Range Of Services: Flexible, Modular, Comprehensive
Replatforming
We migrate your existing application to a modern, scalable container based platform. Whether it's a cloud environment or a Kubernetes cluster in our data centers, replatforming your legacy application creates a foundation for flexible, future proof operation.
Refactoring
If the existing source code is difficult to expand, every change becomes a challenge. With targeted refactoring, we improve the structure, readability, and quality of your application. This reduces sources of error and increases performance. You get a stable basis for new functions.
Re-Architecture
Is your application reaching its structural limits? Then we will develop a future proof software architecture by gradually converting it into modular building blocks. Through re-architecture, we create better scalability. further maintenance and development of legacy apllication will also become much easier.
Replacing
If, after analysis, legacy software is found to be completely unsuitable for future use, we will gradually replace it with a new solution. Whether you are developing your own solution or changing system, we will support you throughout the replcaement process, from planning to implementation and structured transfer.
Operation And Support
We take over the operation, maintenance, and support of your legacy application, either completely or in part. This also includes troubleshooting, updates, monitoring, security checks, and documentation. You specify the tasks and we provide you with service from a single source.
Working Together Form Analysis To Future Development
Understanding Together What Matters.
In a scoping workshop, we work with you to define your goals, prioritize challenges, and gain a comprehensive understanding of your application. If necessary, we perform a code analysis and work with you to create a transition plan to secure technical expertise and ensure a smooth transition.
Laying A Solid Foundation.
We ensure that your legacy application runs securely and stably. This includes acute problem soving, closing security gaps, sustainable documentation, and ensuring ongoing operation. Modernizations can be implemented efficiently on this solid foundation.
Change Where It Makes Sense.
Starting from a stable foundation, we identify the potential for professional and technical development of your legacy software: new functions, AI integration, modern interfaces, or first steps in cloud operation and modular architecture. The goal is to implement meaningful changes at your pace and with foresight.
Reference: The MyWorkplace Enterprise Customer Portal
MyWorkplace is Deutsche Telekom's central customer portal for enterprise users. It acts as a portal framework and control centre for cloud and infrastructure services. Integrated single sign-on (SSO) gives users continuous access to more than 50 services.
MyWorkplace provides the front end for central role and rights management and forms a uniform front-end layer across various back-end systems. The aim is to create a seamless customer journey: services can be found, ordered, configured and managed consistently.
The customer portal developed by the AM GmbH thus supports an efficient and uniform way of working with short paths and extensive self-service functions for Deutsche Telekom customers.
FAQs About Legacy Applications
Do I Have To Completely Redevelop My Legacy Application?
No, a complete redevelopment is not always necessary. Existing applications can often be modernised step by step, for example through replatforming, refactoring or targeted interface integration. The goal is to preserve the core of your application while making it future-proof. The appropriate strategy depends on the condition of the software and your goals.
What Happens If My Current Developer Is No Longer Available?
Even without access to the individuals responsible for the original development work, we can still take over the application. Through technical analysis and reverse engineering, we gain a thorough overview of the structure, functions and dependencies.
How Do You Evaluate The Cost-Benefit Ratio Of Legacy Modernization?
The cost effectiveness of modernizing legacy systems can be determined through structured analysis. With a roadmap for modernization (replatforming, refactoring, replacement, re-architecture), we create a cost-benefit analysis that takes into account both short term expenses and long term savings. This allows you to make informed decisions without jeopardizing ongoing operations.
Factors for the cost-benefit analysis are:
- Reduced maintenance costs thanks to more stable systems
- Increased efficieny through automation and better scalability
- Flexibility for new business requirements
- Risk protection against failures and security breaches
