Modernization

Application Modernization

Containerise, refactor, and re-platform — including AI-enabled rebuilds — onto the cloud platforms you already operate.

Application modernization is more than lifting workloads into containers. We take legacy estates apart, harden them, refactor where the value is, and rebuild where AI changes the contract — all on the platforms our platform team has just stood up.

What we deliver

  • Discovery and assessment. Application portfolio review, technical debt profile, modernization roadmap. We tell you which applications are worth refactoring, which are worth replatforming as-is, and which are worth replacing.
  • Containerisation and replatforming. From Java EE on traditional middleware to OpenShift, from VM-bound services to containerised stateless workloads, with image hardening and supply-chain signing.
  • Microservices refactoring. Decomposition strategy, bounded contexts, anti-corruption layers, strangler-fig migrations. We don’t refactor for its own sake — only where it earns its keep.
  • Integration platform modernization. WSO2 API Manager, MuleSoft, and successor stacks (WSO2 Micro Integrator). Replatform from legacy ESBs, federate APIs across business units, modernise webhooks and event flows.
  • Workflow and orchestration. Camunda for human-in-the-loop BPM, Temporal for durable workflow engines in code. Saga patterns where transactions span systems.
  • Streaming and data. Apache Kafka, Apache Spark on OpenShift, S3-compatible object storage, Iceberg / Delta lakehouse formats. Built to feed both classical analytics and AI/ML workloads from the same surface.
  • AI-enabled application rebuilds. Where a legacy app’s contract is best rewritten with an AI-augmented front-end (claims triage, customer support, document understanding), we build it on OpenShift AI with NVIDIA NIM / vLLM / Triton inference and MCP-based tool integration, behind your existing identity boundary.

How we work

We don’t take on monolith-by-monolith rewrites. Engagements are bounded around outcomes — “this claims-handling flow runs in containers behind enterprise identity in 14 weeks”, not “modernise everything indefinitely”.

Engagement shape

Single-application modernizations typically run 8–14 weeks. A portfolio modernization programme is structured as a sequence of bounded engagements, each independently delivered, with a steering cadence in between.
