Inherited software takeover and modernisation

Regain technical ownership

A handover starts with the source code, hosting, database, backups and deployment process. We review how the system supports the business and which integrations or workflows need particular care.

You do not need all the answers before making contact. The software takeover checklist and handover worksheet can help identify what is available.

Keep useful improvements moving

Older software often needs ongoing bug fixes and features while a longer-term plan is worked out. We can implement that work and add targeted checks around the parts being changed.

The goal is a system your team can maintain and improve. Tests, release checks and documentation are prioritised around actual risk and the changes you need.

Older frameworks are welcome

We work on long-running Ruby on Rails applications, ASP.NET Web Forms and older .NET Framework systems, and other established apps that still need bug fixes and new features.

AI agents help trace the existing logic and accelerate changes. We review the work against the system’s dependencies and verify the affected business workflows. We can keep improving the current application while planning modernisation where it is useful.

Modernise in stages

We assess which parts still serve the business and which are causing problems. That might lead to a database change, an integration repair, a new interface or the replacement of a specific component.

We work with existing web apps, internal systems, CRM-style software, Access databases and Power Apps. The migration plan depends on the dependencies, business requirements and cost of each option.

Expert review with AI-accelerated implementation

AI coding agents help analyse unfamiliar code, draft changes and prepare documentation. We review the implementation, verify the important workflows and make the release decisions.

If you have an active development team and simply need more capacity, see software development and ongoing support. For new AI functionality, see AI apps and integrations.
