Application modernization consulting
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.
Legacy app migration to cloud
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.
Check the details about each migration scenario
- Application re-hosting. We move the application from the on-premises or the old cloud infrastructure to the new cloud (AWS or Azure). This is a fast and simple migration option to enable DevOps and ubiquitous access and optimize the usage of hardware resources that also streamlines more advanced modernization in the future. However, re-hosting offers just limited cloud-driven benefits in terms of app resilience, performance and scalability.
- Application re-platforming. We complement moving the application to the cloud with the introduction of small modifications and upgrades in code that will bring more advanced cloud capabilities (improved performance, scaling, fault-tolerance, etc.) to the application.
- Application rearchitecting. We transform the architecture of the application (e.g., split it into web services/microservices) to make it leverage cloud possibilities to the fullest. The application will adapt to dynamic load and performance requirements, allow for partial updates, technology mix, and shared platform usage.

Application reengineering
With a wide pool of legacy application modernization skills, we can help you restore and slightly modify code and design of your long-running enterprise applications.
Check out reengineering gains
Application reengineering can grant:
- Web and mobile enablement.
- Improved look&feel.
- Simplified and less costly maintenance and updates.
- DevOps, CI/CD enablement.
- Increased performance and response time.
Hide
Application recoding (automated and customized)
We revive your applications created on the basis of legacy languages and platforms (such as PowerBuilder, Delphi, VB, C++, COBOL) or aging technologies (outdated Java and .NET versions) with the use of modern programming languages, frameworks and databases.
Application containerization
Across all modernization options, we can pack your apps or their parts into packages isolated from each other at the OS level.
Learn containerization benefits
Containerization means:
- Fewer resources required to run.
- Easier scalability.
- Simplified movement across different environments.
- CI/CD practices enablement.

Our Happy Customers

Sean Snider
COO
ScienceSoft's .NET developers have been assisting Upstream Works in refactoring a load testing system and bringing further automation to the load testing process. Their DevOps engineers helped us optimize our infrastructure and set up a continuous software delivery process. The team is very professional, well-organized, and is always on top of the finer details. This is exactly what a long-term, harmonious partnership should look like.

2+ months
to perform UI updates, simple code conversions and cloud migrations
6+ months
to replatform/refactor an application of medium size and complexity
2+ years
for re-engineering and refactoring of large enterprise-wide systems
The total cost of application modernization can range from $10,000–$15,000 for a UI upgrade or rehosting of a small app to $50,000–$250,000 for a substantial modernization of a medium/large app. If extensive re-engineering, deep recoding, or implementation of advanced techs (e.g., big data, AI/ML) is required, the cost may reach $500,000+ for a large application.
Among the key cost factors that influence the price of app modernization are:
- The complexity of applications and their dependencies.
- The volume of data to transfer.
- The life span of the application and its cloud migration readiness; the scope of infrastructure, code and configuration changes required.
- The extent of modernization automation and the cost of the relevant software licenses (e.g., code conversion tools).
- The required testing efforts.
Need Expert Help to Estimate Your App Modernization Costs?
ScienceSoft’s software architects and business analysts are ready to calculate your app modernization project costs.
Hi! What would you like to know?
Would you like to ask another question?
Is it possible to modernize a legacy app with no detailed documentation (functional specifications)?
Sure. In this case, ScienceSoft will mine the business rules from the existing application code and documentation, investigate code dependencies and component integrations. Plus, we are ready to cooperate with your in-house IT team, third-party vendors, and other parties knowledgeable of the application work to speed up the process.
How can I be sure that the modernized app will bring the expected results instead of only wasting the company’s time and resources?
At ScienceSoft, we rely on robust risk management practices and start with an in-depth assessment of your legacy system, focusing on technical, business, and economic considerations. Before starting any project, we prepare a comprehensive feasibility study report with estimated gains and risk analysis to help you make a well-informed decision on the legacy app’s future. Plus, to make app modernization as transparent and manageable as possible, our software engineers split legacy apps into several independent modules so that they can introduce the required changes quickly and incrementally.
Can we avoid operational downtime during app modernization?
At ScienceSoft, we conduct thorough testing and continuous monitoring of the modernized app modules to make sure they run as expected and don’t disrupt your business processes.
Is it possible to avoid long freeze-up of the apps during modernization?
Yes. For this, we split applications into several independent loosely coupled parts (e.g., microservices) to introduce the required changes fast and incrementally.

ScienceSoft’s CTO with 20+ years of experience
When businesses come to us for legacy app modernization, we often recommend them to consider cloud migration as a part of the project. At this point, moving to the cloud is virtually always the most rational thing to do: you reduce the operational costs by up to 60%, achieve 99.9% app availability, and gain access to the cloud-dependent techs such as AI automation and data science. To make cloud migration fast and secure, ScienceSoft’s team divides legacy software into manageable parts and ensures gradual transition from one stable state to the next one. We also offer our clients to start off with a pilot migration: it helps assess the viability of the chosen migration approach and make the required tweaks cost-efficiently and risk-free.
