Application Assessment & Strategic Advisory

- Technical & Business Gap Analysis: Identifying what works, what doesn’t, and what’s holding you back.
- Modernisation Roadmap: A clear, phased plan outlining quick wins, long-term goals, and measurable milestones.
- Risk & Cost-Benefit Analysis: Transparent insights to help you make informed decisions.
Rehosting & Replatforming (Lift-and-Shift)
If your legacy applications are stable but stuck on outdated infrastructure, we offer seamless rehosting and replatforming:
- Cloud Migration: Move to AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud with minimal code changes.
- On-premise to Hybrid: Shift workloads to hybrid environments for flexibility and cost savings.
- Performance Optimisation: Enhance speed, reliability, and scalability.
Refactoring & Rearchitecting
Transform monolithic, hard-to-maintain applications into modern, modular architectures:
- Microservices Adoption: Break down monoliths for agility and easier scaling.
- Code Refactoring: Clean up legacy code for maintainability and future enhancements.
- API Enablement: Expose core functionalities via RESTful APIs for easier integration.
Cloud Enablement & Integration
We help you unlock the full potential of cloud-native technologies:
- Containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes): Deploy applications faster and more reliably.
- Serverless Computing: Reduce operational overhead and only pay for what you use.
- Seamless Integrations: Connect with CRM, ERP, and third-party services for a unified digital ecosystem.
