Modernise the systems you run on, without a big-bang rewrite

For enterprises and growing MSMEs carrying years of legacy: we move one domain at a time to secure, observable, cloud-native services, and keep the old system running until the new one has proved itself.

Enterprise & MSMEs

Modernisation fails when it tries to do everything at once

The ERP customisations, the reporting database everyone depends on, the Windows servers in a cupboard and the scripts that run payroll were all good decisions once. Replacing them in one go is how modernisation projects end up late, over budget and quietly cancelled. We prefer to modernise in slices: put observability around what exists, carve off one capability, prove it, then move to the next.

Typical starting points are a technology and cloud roadmap, a landing zone and migration plan, identity and access hardening and application modernisation. For MSMEs without a large IT team, managed IT services keep everything patched, backed up and monitored.

Sound familiar?

What we hear from enterprise and MSME IT leads

Legacy is not a technology problem alone. It is about risk, people and budget.

“Only one person understands the old system”

Knowledge is concentrated in a few people, so every change is risky and holidays are a worry.

“We’re still running unsupported software”

Old Windows Server, Windows 10 desktops (support ended 14 October 2025), legacy PHP or Java versions that no longer get security fixes.

“Our last migration project stalled”

A big-bang plan ran out of budget halfway, leaving two half-systems to maintain.

“We don’t know what we have”

No reliable inventory of servers, licences, SaaS apps or who has admin access.

“Ransomware is our biggest fear”

Backups are untested, admin accounts are shared and MFA is patchy.

“We can’t hire cloud and security people”

Small IT teams spend their time firefighting rather than improving anything.

What we build

Enterprise solutions, sized to your organisation

From a 50-person MSME to a multinational’s regional IT, the approach is the same. Only the scale changes.

Application portfolio & roadmap

The challenge

Dozens of applications with unclear owners, costs and risks, and pressure to “move to the cloud” without a plan.

Our approach

We inventory applications and infrastructure, score each on business value, risk and effort, decide whether to retire, rehost, replatform or rebuild, and turn that into a sequenced, costed roadmap.

What you get

  • Application and infrastructure inventory
  • Retire / rehost / replatform / rebuild decisions
  • Sequenced, costed roadmap
  • Business case your board can read
How we start

A typical first engagement: the modernisation assessment

Four to six weeks, fixed scope. It produces a roadmap you can fund, not a slide deck of buzzwords.

Week 1

Stakeholder interviews

IT, finance, operations and security leads describe what works, what hurts and what is planned.

Week 1–3

Discovery

Automated and manual inventory of applications, infrastructure, identities, licences and data flows.

Week 3–5

Options & costs

Disposition for each system, target architecture, security baseline and cost model, including run costs.

Week 5–6

Roadmap & first slice

A sequenced plan, and a recommended first slice small enough to deliver and prove within a quarter.

FAQ

Questions enterprise teams ask us

No. Some workloads are cheaper or simpler to keep on-premises or in a co-location facility, and some should simply be retired. The assessment decides per system based on cost, risk and value.

Incrementally. We add observability first, then move one capability at a time behind the existing interface, run old and new in parallel where needed, and switch traffic gradually with a rollback path.

Yes. For MSMEs we often act as the IT team: identity and email security, device management, backups, cloud hosting and a helpdesk-style support channel under a managed-services agreement.

We integrate with ERPs through their supported APIs and middleware and modernise the custom applications around them. We are not an ERP implementation partner, and we will say so if you need one.

It depends on the number of users, servers and cloud accounts and the support hours you need. We quote a fixed monthly fee after a short discovery so there are no surprises. See our pricing page for typical engagement models.
