Software Modernization

Many companies are in this situation: the software is still running, but nobody dares to change anything because the system is too complex or too old. New requirements can no longer be implemented, and every update brings with it the risk that something will no longer work. The consequences? Outdated processes, security gaps and rising maintenance costs.

Legacy software are proven systems that many companies rely on and that form the foundation of their central work processes. These systems have been expanded and in some cases complicated over the years, resulting in complex and rigid architectures. In addition, special knowledge is often required that is hardly available on the labor market. At some point, it becomes a risk:

• Rising maintenance costs: outdated systems require more and more maintenance.
• Security gaps: Technologies that are no longer supported are vulnerable to cyber attacks.
• Lack of expert knowledge: Developers for old technologies such as Delphi or VB6 are hard to find.
• Poor scalability: Legacy systems often cannot keep up with new requirements.
• Integration problems: Modern ERP or CRM systems are not easy to connect.

At soxes, we have over 24 years of experience in the modernization and migration of software. Our proven process ensures that your software remains future-proof and performant:

Analysis & documentation

• We check your software architecture, identify weak points and collect all relevant information.
• We analyse whether a modernization is worthwhile or whether a step-by-step migration makes more sense.
• You receive a transparent estimate of the costs and time required.

Targeted optimization

• Initial measures to stabilize and improve performance.
• Removal of technical bottlenecks that slow down your processes.
• Closure of critical security gaps before they become a problem.

Step-by-step migration & modernization

• Integration of your legacy systems into new ERP, CRM or cloud solutions.
• Conversion to modern programming languages and frameworks.
• Performance optimization for faster processes and more stable operation.

Long-term maintenance, support & outsourcing

• Taking over existing software solutions for maintenance, further development and support.
• Ensuring future viability and continuous improvements.
• Training for your team so that they can use the modernized system efficiently.
• Regular updates so that your system is always up to date.

Many companies rely on individual IT experts or a small team that has looked after the software for years. But what happens when these people leave the company or are no longer available?

• Loss of knowledge: Critical information about the software architecture is lost.
• Dependence: External developers for old technologies are difficult to find.
• Operational risk: Without support, a failure or security vulnerability can have serious consequences.
• High costs: Emergency solutions or quick conversions are usually more expensive than strategic modernization.

• Microsoft Access & Excel (databases and business-critical applications)
• Delphi & Visual Basic (VB6) (software solutions for companies, especially in industry)
• C# & .NET legacy systems (core systems that are to be modernized or moved to the cloud)
• ERP or MES systems developed in-house (optimization and integration into new IT structures)
