Is Your Legacy System Holding Your Business Back?

Many businesses grapple with the silent costs and growing risks of aging IT infrastructure. Recognize these challenges? Kindred Code offers clear pathways to overcome them.

Performance Bottlenecks

Slow operations, frequent crashes, and poor user experiences limit productivity and frustrate customers, directly impacting your business growth and competitive edge.

Security Vulnerabilities

Outdated systems are prime targets for cyber threats, exposing sensitive data to breaches and placing your business at significant financial and reputational risk.

Integration Difficulties

Inability to connect with modern applications and services stifles automation, creates data silos, and prevents a unified view of your business.

Exorbitant Maintenance Costs

Investing heavily in maintaining obsolete hardware and complex code consumes valuable IT budget that could otherwise fuel innovation.

Compliance Challenges

Struggling to meet evolving industry regulations and data privacy laws, leading to potential fines and damage to customer trust.

Talent Acquisition Difficulties

Finding and retaining skilled professionals to maintain esoteric, outdated technologies becomes increasingly difficult and expensive.

Strategic Approaches to System Modernization

Legacy systems are not one-size-fits-all, and neither are their solutions. Kindred Code employs a tailored, strategic approach to ensure your modernization journey aligns perfectly with your business goals and risk tolerance.

Rehosting: "Lift and Shift" to the Cloud

Migrate applications and data as-is from on-premise servers to cloud infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, Google Cloud). This approach offers immediate benefits like reduced operational costs, improved scalability, and enhanced reliability without significant code changes.

Considerations:
  • Risk Assessment: Low
  • Timeline: Short to Medium
  • Cost Impact: Moderate initial; significant long-term savings

Refactoring: Optimizing Code for Performance

Restructure or optimize existing code without changing its external behavior. This improves internal quality, maintainability, and efficiency. Ideal for applications that need performance boosts or simpler maintenance but don't require a complete architectural overhaul.

Considerations:
  • Risk Assessment: Medium
  • Timeline: Medium
  • Cost Impact: Moderate

Rearchitecting: Modernizing the Core Structure

Significantly modify the application's architecture to enable new functionalities, improve scalability, and better integrate with modern ecosystems. Often involves moving to microservices or cloud-native patterns without discarding the original codebase entirely.

Considerations:
  • Risk Assessment: Medium to High
  • Timeline: Medium to Long
  • Cost Impact: High

Rebuilding: Fresh Start with Modern Technologies

Develop a completely new application from scratch, preserving only the scope and specifications of the original system. This is suitable when the legacy system is irretrievably complex, built on obsolete technology, or cannot meet future business demands.

Considerations:
  • Risk Assessment: High
  • Timeline: Long
  • Cost Impact: Very High

Replacing: Adopting New Solutions

Substituting the legacy system with a new commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product or a custom-built, modern solution that offers similar or enhanced functionality. Data migration is key here, ensuring a seamless transition to the new platform.

Considerations:
  • Risk Assessment: Medium
  • Timeline: Medium to Long
  • Cost Impact: High (license fees + migration)
