SOFTWARE MODERNISATION

Assisted software modernisation is a service that will ease the challenge of working with legacy systems that stop your business from growing.

With minimum disruption to your business, we can help you replace legacy systems to allow you to innovate and work better than ever before.

WHO WE ARE

As a company, we specialise in full cycle bespoke software development, database analysis and mobile application development, among other services.

We boast strong legacy modernisation skills and have helped numerous clients replace or re-engineer their inefficient systems.

Our systems modernisation service has been designed to support you in addressing legacy challenges as well as delivering a quality long-lasting solution in a way that provides confidence of delivery.

LEGACY IMPACT

Recent surveys of CIOs indicate that some 50% of all IT assets in both the public and private sectors are ageing legacies in need of modernisation
Digital disruption, meantime, has energised new competition in many industries and seems to be an unstoppable force that will seriously impact business strategies

50% OF ALL IT
assets need modernisation

NEW
technologies emerging

Increasing customer expectations and emerging new technologies continue to expose ageing legacy systems, which are often increasingly unstable, highly customised and unable to respond adequately or at a reasonable cost.

Boards largely remain passive – legacy systems work well until they don’t and even though legacies are often core systems that companies depend upon, executives see modernisation as complex, with benefits difficult to quantify in monetary terms.

BOARDS
remain passive

IT FOCUSED
on keeping the existing systems

In response, many IT departments are focussed only on keeping the existing systems operating whilst reducing costs where they can.

MODERNISATION CHALLENGES

How will Future Datasy help you?

Datasyshas successfully modernised a number of such legacies and, based on our experiences, we have put together a set of services to help you remove legacy barriers from your IT_

HOW DO WE HELP YOU MAKE IT HAPPEN?

We are organised to deliver a project from initiation to implementation, and support it on-going if required, with experienced developers, testers, project managers and analysts.

We employ our proven approach to delivery ‘The Future Way’ which:

  1. Uses key features from Agile development, such as regular delivery and iterations to demonstrate and validate progress
  2. Is supplemented by project management disciplines to preserve focus and manage risks
  3. Makes extensive use of tools throughout development, testing and release
  4. Instils effective transparent communication
  5. Delivers integrated quality through specialised testers and optimised use of automated testing tools
  6. Is adaptable and not prescriptive regarding tools, adoption of technology types and commercial models

The full specification of your system is not essential. If you do not have detailed documentation of your legacy system, our Analysis and Design team can help. They can run workshops with your team to gain a thorough understanding of your employees about how your system, as well as your business work.  Our developers are experienced in quickly understanding the business function within a legacy system that may not have been properly documented. This, coupled with a rigorous test-driven development approach, reduces the need for you to provide details about your old system.
