Types of Legacy System Upgrades We Provide

Framework upgrades

On average, all frameworks are only supported for 6–24 months. After this period, updates are no longer provided, which makes the framework considered “outdated” and causes serious security issues and makes the system vulnerable to hacking. The older the framework, the more challenging it becomes for the development team to edit or expand the system.

Libraries upgrades

As soon as your software becomes more complex, it depends on more libraries and third-party software. Keeping those libraries up to date is critical, as the vulnerabilities and bugs in current dependencies will become bigger vulnerabilities and bugs that will affect your entire system.

Visual upgrades

The number of smartphone users is growing each day globally. This makes having a mobile-compatible web resource an absolute necessity. This is why, in addition to responsive and adaptive screens, you must have an appealing design and comprehensive UX to be able to provide valuable services to your users.

MOBILE ENABLEMENT IS A MUST

By upgrading legacy systems, we can also make them more convenient to use from mobile devices. According to Google, more web traffic comes from mobile devices than desktops.

ACCORDING TO GOOGLE

mobile traffic has already surpassed desktops by quantity!

This means being mobile-friendly is a MUST for any website or web application by the three major reasons:

Higher Enterprise Mobility
Improved End-User Experience
Better Software Reach to Customers

Legacy System Upgrading Services, Step by Step

The upgrading process differs from case to case, but there are standard steps you should keep in mind. We, as an experienced legacy modernization vendor, have prepared a basic roadmap for you to see the process.

PLANNING THE UPGRADE

First, we perform an app environment inventory and review its compatibility so we can create an upgrading plan.

PREPARING FOR THE LEGACY SOFTWARE UPGRADE PROCESS

Before performing the upgrade itself, we check your apps and undeploy them if necessary. We also back up the app environment in this stage.

UPGRADING THE WEB APP

We move your app to the newest versions of the frameworks, upgrade libraries, and set up APIs.

COMPLETING POST-UPGRADE PROCEDURES

We verify the updated app and check the overall infrastructure. Once this is complete, we promote the app to production.

Do You Have a Desktop App to Upgrade?

It’s well-known that web apps are more agile than desktop applications. We assist our clients in moving desktop apps to the web to become more accessible to users and expand their business.
