Application refactoring

HW.Tech’s legacy modernization professionals restructure and optimize your application code without altering its external behavior. This approach allows us to improve the code’s performance, maintainability, and readability while preserving its core logic. In other words, your software retains its core functionality, but becomes more reliable and better optimized.

app refactoring

Application recoding

We modernize legacy apps built on outdated languages and platforms (PowerBuilder, Delphi, COBOL, etc) by recoding them with the latest programming languages, frameworks, and databases. This results in improved performance, maintainability, and scalability while enabling your solution to seamlessly integrate with modern cloud services, APIs, and third-party tools.

Application rearchitecting

We redesign an application’s architecture to make it more scalable, flexible, integration-friendly, and secure. With a modern modular architecture, your software becomes easier to maintain, evolve, and scale. It also enables you to leverage distributed computing, cloud elasticity, and resilience for faster innovation and business agility.

Application containerization

Our app modernization services include encapsulating applications or their components into containers isolated from each other at the OS level. This allows you to use fewer resources to run these apps, scale them more easily, and ensure seamless portability across development, testing, and production environments as well as easy integration with CI/CD practices.

Monolith to microservices migration

Our software engineers help you migrate from a monolithic to a microservices architecture, breaking your application into small, independent services. This enables you to update and scale each service without affecting the entire application. Such an approach improves fault isolation, allows for faster development and deployment, and enables flexibility in the technology stack.

FAQ

I have legacy software that needs an upgrade. However, it doesn’t have documentation. Can HW.Tech help me in this case?

Absolutely! We provide legacy modernization services, regardless of whether your software has documentation or not. Our team will thoroughly analyze your app to understand its architecture and functionality. We will work closely with you and stakeholders to gather requirements and ensure that the upgraded software meets your expectations and needs. Additionally, we will document the new system so that you will have all the resources you need for future application development and maintenance.

How to tell if I need legacy application modernization?

There are five signs that you need modernization solutions:



1. Software maintenance requires too many resources. If you’ve noticed that your software has become too expensive to maintain, it’s high time you opted for legacy application modernization.



2. Integrating new features is challenging or impossible. Legacy applications have a hard time integrating with newer technologies and require lots of custom code. If introducing new features and improvements has become too cumbersome, consider upgrading your software.



3. Your app hinders your business growth. If your solution no longer satisfies your business needs and hinders your growth, it’s yet another sign that you should undertake legacy app modernization.



4. Your legacy system lacks security. Legacy systems are created with outdated technologies, programming languages, and frameworks, making them susceptible to cyberattacks and other security threats. If your application no longer meets security standards, you'd better invest in legacy modernization before it’s compromised.



5. Your app damages the user experience. To provide the best user experience, you should be quick to respond to user needs. Whenever customers require new features, it’s in your best interest to introduce them as quickly as possible. With legacy systems, however, it becomes challenging or plain impossible. Another reason to consider software modernization.

Is it possible to modernize legacy applications without operational downtime?

Sure thing! We can modernize your legacy software with minimal to no operational downtime. To achieve this, we focus on phased transition, meaning that we update your system incrementally, so your business continues running while we’re improving your solutions.
