Unlock new possibilities by connecting disparate apps and services so that you can streamline your workflows and improve business agility.

Organisations struggle with fragmented application landscapes and outdated platforms that hinder scalability, innovation, and operational efficiency. While it’s undeniable that modernisation costs a significant amount of money, so does sticking with your legacy systems. It’s often estimated that IT directors are now spending nearly half their budget on simply keeping legacy systems going.

That’s not to mention the potential cost – monetary and reputational – of the security and downtime risks associated with outdated technologies. No market is immune from disruption, and organisations risk being overtaken by more fleet-of-foot challengers who are unencumbered by legacy unless they modernise their technology estates.

Achieve your goals with us

We’ve worked on some of the most challenging technology projects, for the largest companies in the world, and understand that legacy technology is an ever-present challenge. We’ve successfully tackled mainframes and monoliths, supporting our clients on the journey towards cloud and microservices.

As a result, our clients have benefited from being able to respond more quickly to customers’ needs, comply rapidly with new regulations, reduce their ongoing costs, and get ahead of the competition. Meanwhile, they have been able to attract and retain talent due to the appeal of working with the latest technologies.

Principles of our successful approach

Architecture is evolutionary

We believe that technology architecture should start small, be based on an initial set of goals, and evolve as these goals change and grow. This provides maximum flexibility and agility while tackling challenges like legacy modernisation.

Experience matters

We are practitioners with deep experience in designing, building and modernising large-scale enterprise systems. We get to know your organisation before recommending tools, technologies and approaches that are tried and tested, keeping your requirements top of mind.

Open source, then buy, then build

We build bespoke systems, but only where this approach adds value. We always look for open source or commercial technologies that 'fit' your requirements and provide the best return on investment. Our commitment to open source is clear: as an active member of FINOS, we have contributed to significant projects supporting financial services and beyond.

Design for the future

We always design with future maintenance and extensibility in mind. We work closely in collaboration with your wider organisation to ensure good integration and scalability, and we’re cautious and pragmatic in the use of bleeding-edge technologies.

Our tried and tested solutions

While our approach is always tailored to your needs, we have a range of tried-and-tested solutions that speed up delivery and drive a successful outcome.

Legacy system modernisation

We tackle your ageing legacy systems, refactoring or re-platforming them using cloud-native technologies. You’ll see a measurable return on investment through improved scalability, reduced maintenance costs, and seamless integration with modern apps and services.
