Accelerate innovation by leaving legacy constraints behind
Accelerate innovation by leaving legacy constraints behind
Outdated software is more prone to downtime, performance bottlenecks, poor usability, and can quietly consume a massive share of your IT budget – issues that affect both internal teams and end users.
Migrating to a modern platform enables you to improve stability and speed, eliminate legacy bugs, and deliver cleaner, more intuitive interfaces. Migration allows you to design your system with security and compliance in mind from day one.
As a result, your IT teams can focus on building value instead of managing legacy issues – empowering your business with a flexible, scalable, and future-ready technology foundation.
Why choose Legacy Software Migration?
Reduce operating costs and technical debt
Outdated tech often consumes a large share of IT budgets due to high maintenance costs, licensing fees, and reliance on scarce expertise. Migrating to modern tech stack drastically reduces these ongoing expenses.
Unlock integration and innovation potential
Modern systems are designed with interoperability in mind. They can easily connect with APIs, cloud services, and advanced analytics or AI tools - something legacy software often can't support.
Retain talent and future-proof the organisation
Engineers don’t want to work on obsolete technologies. Migration supports the adoption of modern structures that are attractive to top technology talent and provide long-term scalability.
Improve system resilience and business continuity
Old software and systems are more prone to crashes, data loss, and vendor lock-in. A migration to a modern infrastructure with redundancy, backups, and failover features improves availability and ensures business continuity.

claims were successfully migrated from the legacy system
MD Insurance Services Limited is one of the three companies that constitute The MD Group brand. They work together to provide insurance schemes to support the construction industry across the UK and in Europe.
Our client identified that the system used to manage both claims and other insurance cases does not meet their current standards for case traceability, case management, and reporting.
Our focus was to reduce time needed for the processes from start to finish and to improve accuracy of claims decisions and overall customer service. We created a new core management system, with around 1400 claims and tens of thousands of transactions migrated from the legacy system.
reduction in the client’s cloud costs
Adia, an HR company, operates as a digital marketplace and their software solution is at the core of their business model.
They needed a partner for two key reasons: to enable significant growth and to implement a modernised strategy for their technology and solution architecture. Another important issue was to implement a much more flexible system framework and rapid product innovation.
Thanks to our work, we decreased the lead time for changes from 2 months to 1 day, improved change failure rate from over 30% to below 10%, and saved 50% of the client’s cloud costs.

Our teams have successfully migrated software for organisations in highly regulated sectors, ensuring data integrity, business continuity, and compliance throughout the process.
We prioritise transparency, collaboration, and long-term value. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, we adapt to your pace, your budget, and your technical realities.
How can I tell if our organisation should consider migrating legacy software?
You should consider migrating your organisation’s legacy software when it begins to hinder rather than help your business. If your systems are becoming increasingly expensive to maintain, slow to adapt to new business needs, or difficult to integrate with modern platforms, these are clear warning signs.
Operational inefficiencies, frequent downtime, and reliance on outdated technologies that few people can support may also indicate that your legacy software is creating long-term risk and limiting your ability to innovate.
Another strong signal is if your organisation struggles to meet modern security, compliance, or data privacy standards – especially in regulated industries.
Legacy software often lacks the architecture and flexibility needed to support new digital initiatives, such as cloud transformation, automation, or real-time analytics. If your IT team is spending more time patching and troubleshooting than delivering value, it’s time to seriously consider a migration strategy.
What are the main business benefits of legacy software migration?
Legacy software migration offers business benefits that go beyond just updating technology. It significantly reduces operational costs by replacing outdated, high-maintenance systems with more efficient and scalable solutions. This transition improves system performance, reliability, and security, which in turn supports better business continuity and risk management.
Migration also enables greater agility, allowing organisations to innovate faster, respond more quickly to market changes, and launch new services or products with ease.
From a strategic perspective, migrating to modern platforms enhances integration capabilities, making it easier to connect with cloud services, analytics tools, and external partners. It also supports compliance with evolving regulations by incorporating modern security and governance standards.
Perhaps most importantly, legacy migration empowers organisations to future-proof their IT infrastructure, creating a flexible foundation for long-term growth, digital transformation, and sustained competitive advantage.
Will the migration process interrupt our day-to-day business operations?
The migration process does not have to interrupt your day-to-day business operations if it is carefully planned and executed.
At Future Processing, migrations are designed to minimise disruption by using phased or parallel approaches that allow old and new systems to operate side by side during the transition.
This means critical business functions can continue without interruption while components are gradually migrated in a controlled, low-risk manner.
How long does a typical legacy software migration project take?
The duration of a typical legacy software migration project depends on several factors, including the size and complexity of the existing system, the volume and structure of data, integration requirements, and the chosen migration strategy.
A small-scale migration involving a single, self-contained application might take as little as a few weeks. However, more complex enterprise systems that involve multiple components, databases, or legacy dependencies can take several months to migrate fully and safely.
In many cases, the project is divided into phases to enable a gradual transition, minimise operational risk, and ensure ongoing business continuity. Overall, while there is no one-size-fits-all answer, most migrations fall within a timeframe of 2 to 9 months, depending on the scale and strategic goals involved.
How much does legacy software migration cost?
The cost of legacy software migration can vary significantly depending on the scope, complexity, and condition of your existing systems, as well as your desired end state.
A relatively simple migration – such as moving a well-documented application to a modern platform – might cost tens of thousands of euros or dollars. In contrast, a large-scale migration involving multiple systems, significant reengineering, and cloud transformation can run into the hundreds of thousands.
Key factors influencing cost include the number of components being migrated, the volume and sensitivity of data, integration with other systems, and whether the project involves rehosting, refactoring, or complete rebuilding.
At Future Processing, migration is approached as a strategic investment, not just a technical exercise. Most organisations begin to see a return on investment within 12 to 24 months. A preliminary system assessment is the best way to estimate the total cost and create a roadmap that aligns with your business priorities and budget.
What technologies does Future Processing use in legacy migration projects?
In legacy migration projects, Future Processing uses a carefully selected mix of modern technologies and engineering practices tailored to the client’s needs, business goals, and technical constraints. The choice of technologies depends on the legacy environment, target architecture, and whether the migration involves rehosting, refactoring, or rebuilding.
For cloud migration, Future Processing commonly works with platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure to enable scalability, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
On the application side, legacy code is often replaced or modernised using up-to-date programming languages and frameworks such as .NET Core / .NET 6+, Java with Spring Boot, Python, or Node.js, depending on the business domain and system requirements. For modern architecture, microservices, RESTful APIs, and event-driven patterns are implemented to decouple functionalities and improve system agility.
In terms of data migration and integration, Future Processing employs tools and strategies for ETL processes, data validation, and transformation pipelines, often integrating with platforms like Azure Data Factory, Power BI, or Snowflake for analytics. Security and compliance are also prioritised, using OAuth2, role-based access control, encryption standards, and secure-by-design principles.
To manage deployment and maintain quality throughout the migration process, the team leverages CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) and Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
