Tailor your modernisation strategy to your business outcomes
Tailor your modernisation strategy to your business outcomes
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to modernisation. The right strategy depends on the state of your systems, your business priorities, and how quickly you need to deliver value.
Whether your goal is to cut costs, scale fast, improve performance, enhance user experience, or unlock new capabilities – we will help you choose the path that fits best.
Rehost
We move your applications to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes to the codebase. Ideal when facing rising infrastructure costs, security risks, limited data access or business continuity challenges. Rehosting improves availability, reduces infrastructure overhead, and supports hybrid-cloud strategies without disrupting business operations.
Replatform
We make small but strategic changes to improve how your apps run in the cloud - enhancing scalability, runtime performance, and compatibility with modern platforms. This is the right choice for legacy ecosystems with siloed applications, fragmented infrastructures, outdated data handling, or systems not ready for AI adoption.
Rearchitecture
We redesign your systems to better support agility, speed, scalability and future growth. We introduce modern architectures like microservices or event-driven design to reduce delivery friction and help you respond faster to business needs. It’s ideal when you need to innovate faster, team productivity and stay competitive in changing markets.
Rewrite
We incrementally rebuild your application when it’s too outdated to support growth. Old layers are replaced step by step while modernising architecture, UX, business logic and integrations - without disrupting daily operations. It’s the right choice when retrofitting adds complexity or you want to reinvent your product, operating model or launch something new - including MVPs.
Experience Enhancement
We modernise your application's front-end and customer journey - improving usability, interface design and user experience. It’s a quick and effective way to increase employee efficiency or sales conversion, especially when the back-end is functional but the interface is outdated or misaligned with business goals. From audits to full redesigns, we deliver fast wins with measurable business impact.

What makes us different?
We’re not just another vendor. We measure everything - and we stand behind it.
Our unique approach to application modernisation focuses on three key areas that drive real results:
- Business value first - guided by our Total-Metrics Driven Approach
- Strategic delivery - through Continuous Value Discovery
- Tactical wins - with measurable outcomes from as early as week four
Say goodbye to:
- No metrics on development progress
- Missed release deadlines
- Too many bugs in production
- Unclear impact of engineering work
- No visibility into delivered value
- Lack of ROI from modernisation
Are we the right partner for your modernisation?
01
Value-led modernisation with guaranteed results
We know how to align engineering performance with business goals - and we measure it. Our clients gain full visibility into value delivery across iterative cycles and benefit from a modernisation strategy that adapts to real business needs. We’re confident in our model. That’s why we offer written guarantees on agreed value metrics.
At the start of our Platform Engineering engagement with a UK-based insurance company, we committed to being the key value drivers of their transformation. We agreed on a velocity benchmark for our experts - if it wasn’t met, the customer would not incur the associated cost. Due to a complex onboarding process, part of the team initially fell short of the benchmark.
However, the team ultimately doubled the overall velocity, enabling us to meet critical business deadlines and empowering the company to onboard new customers within 2 weeks instead of 6 months.
02
Fast value-to-market and strategic value in the long run
You don’t have to wait months to see results. Our approach delivers measurable value from as early as week four, focusing on the areas with the greatest business impact.
We work in two complementary delivery modes tailored to your goals:
- Tactical quick wins in just 4 weeks - Early improvements delivered within the first weeks. They bring fast results, enable smarter decisions, optimise costs, and accelerate delivery.
- Strategic, continuous value delivery - Ongoing, ROI-driven delivery aligned with your long-term goals. We track value, monitor risks and adapt to changing priorities.
Quick wins: sample 4-week deliverables
- Audits & assessments – Technical, UX and FinOps insights
- System overview – Architecture maps and dashboards
- Early prototypes – Mockups, PoCs and MVPs
- Optimisations – Software, servers, databases
- Market insights – Competitive analysis and improvement areas
- DevOps setup – Faster, more reliable delivery from the start
Continuous value: how we deliver long-term ROI
- Aligning architecture-led delivery with business goals
- Proactively searching for high-impact opportunities
- Monitoring tech and business metrics together
- Reporting regularly to show what’s being delivered and why
- Acting beyond assigned tasks to find added value
- Considering the broader ecosystem, not just the current scope
