Application Modernization Services
The challenges of legacy applications can be grouped into such spheres as:
- Troubled enhancements and new functionality introduction
- Complicated and costly maintenance
- An enterprise’s hindered digital transformation
-
Reduced business efficiency
Still, diving into the development of a new solution from scratch is hardly an option as it will require significant time and budget.
During 31 years of the software development experience, we've learned how to keep applications relevant and beneficial for the business and can help you to get through the modernization challenge smoothly and efficiently.

Modernization Services We Offer
We thoroughly investigate your legacy application code and infrastructure, mine requirements and provide detailed guidance on the improvements that can help you to derive max value from previous investments.
The recent Gartner surveys show that more than a third of modern companies see cloud migration as a top investment priority. Why? Take a look at the cloud adoption statistics:
- ~ 99.9% service availability.
- 45-60% operating costs savings.
- 4x faster launch of new features.
- 30-50% higher development and support staff productivity.
- 94% of businesses experience a significant upgrade in security.
Depending on the application and business needs, ScienceSoft offers one of the three ways to the cloud – application re-hosting, application re-platforming or application rearchitecting.
With a wide pool of legacy skills, we can help you restore and slightly modify code and design of your long-running enterprise applications.
We revive your legacy applications created on the basis of retiring languages and platforms (such as PowerBuilder, Delphi, VB, C++, COBOL) or aging technologies (outdated Java and .NET versions) with the use of modern programming languages, frameworks and databases.
Across all modernization options, we can pack your apps or their parts into packages isolated from each other at the OS level.
Modernization Challenges We Solve
No actual or detailed documentation (functional specification)To smoothly substitute the legacy application, we mine business rules from existing application code and documentation, investigate code dependencies and component integrations. We readily cooperate with IT departments and other employees as well as third-party vendors, customer's partners, and other people knowledgeable of the application work. |
Difficulty to predict modernization resultsTo keep the modernization process manageable, traceable and visible we split the application into several independent modules to introduce changes fast and incrementally. Also, we recognize the critical role of risk management and implement thorough analysis of the enterprise app basing on technical, business and economic considerations. |
Operational downtimeWe ensure thorough testing coverage and broad monitoring to make sure modernized applications run as expected and don’t disrupt your business processes. |
An application’s long freeze upWe can split the application into independent loosely coupled parts (e.g., microservices) for independent updates. |
