Development & Application Modernisation
Turn legacy into leverage, moving the apps your business relies on to the cloud and the Microsoft stack.
Checked 4 October 2026. Built from the full service page.
In short: Move the applications holding you back, without the full rebuild that never actually happens. Rehost first, get real usage visible, then right-size against what you measure. Redesigning before you can see how something behaves is how these projects overrun.
Who this is for
The problem
A big-bang rewrite has to work perfectly on day one to be worth anything, and most run twelve to eighteen months over a moving target while the business gets no value in the meantime. Left alone, the old application keeps ageing, keeps costing, and keeps being the thing nobody dares touch.
What we would do
Rehost first and treat it as the first step rather than the finish line. Move the workload, get real usage visible, then right-size against measured utilisation. Redesigning before you can see how something actually behaves is how modernisation programmes overrun.
- If the application is genuinely at end of life and the vendor has gone, replacement or capture is the decision, not migration.
- If you are running two systems during a transition, budget for that explicitly. It is a real cost, and pretending otherwise is how incremental programmes get sold optimistically and judged harshly.
When we are not the answer: If the application works, is supported, and nobody is being held back by it, leave it alone. Modernising something that is not causing a problem is a cost with no return, and we will say so.
What is included
- Legacy application assessment and roadmap
- Azure migration and replatforming
- Power Platform and custom development
- API integration and workflow automation
- Incremental modernisation with minimal disruption
- Ongoing support and enhancement
What the last 12 months looked like
What it costs
Scoped and quoted against your estate rather than sold from a rate card. We price what you already run, including the parts that are working and do not need replacing, and the quote itemises what is included so it can be compared line by line with anyone else’s. Managed IT support starts at £40 per user, per month if that is the wider question.
Three questions people ask
Do we have to rewrite the whole application at once?
No, and usually you shouldn't. We favour incremental modernisation, replacing or replatforming piece by piece, so the business gets value at each step and risk stays low, rather than betting everything on a single big-bang rewrite.
When does it make sense to migrate rather than rebuild?
When the application still does its job and the platform underneath it is the problem, migration or replatforming is faster, cheaper and far less risky than a rewrite.
Can you modernise applications onto Azure and the Microsoft stack?
Yes. We migrate and replatform onto Azure, extend applications with Power Platform and custom development, and add API integration and workflow automation so legacy systems connect cleanly to the tools your business already uses.
