Legacy Application Transformation

Home / Services / Legacy application transformation

We’ll support you in transforming your legacy technology and applications so you can provide systems and services that meet your users’ needs.

The legacy technology challenge

Legacy technology means technology that is out of date or obsolete. This can refer to systems, technologies, software or hardware. Often this technology supports extremely important functions and services within an organisation.

Legacy applications make it difficult to modernise in the public sector, because when systems are out of date, organisations struggle to deliver great services.

Sometimes, teams can update the customer interfaces, but the back-end systems are harder to change.

They are also not able to respond to the needs of growing numbers of service users across the UK. Moving systems to the cloud is a critical step in modernisation. But this can be difficult because of:

complex, inflexible platforms
long legacy contracts
locked-in data

Legacy systems often need manual, tedious processes to minimise risk and maintain compliance. This can hold organisations back. As a result, software releases become infrequent and time-consuming.

We support public sector organisations to move to the cloud, building new skills and confidence into every step of the journey.

We will work with you to transform your legacy applications and systems into cloud-native applications. We can help you to:

reduce time, cost and operational inefficiencies
maintain security
build in resilience and compliance

We’ll work alongside you to plan and implement your modernisation process. Our approach involves measured, incremental steps. We will support you to increase:

the cloud maturity of your platforms and systems
the automation in your software development lifecycle (SDLC)
the knowledge and ways of working within your teams

Made Tech uses 5 phases to transform legacy applications to cloud-native.

We’re on multiple frameworks including DOS and TS3, where we’d be happy to create a project that meets your needs.

We’ve worked on many programmes as both the sole partner and part of a bigger team. We’re large enough to bring expertise and work at scale, but personal enough to deliver bespoke solutions.
