Your system was built by who-knows-whom, and touching it is scary
Subheadline
The author is gone, there's no documentation, and every update is a gamble. And new contractors all chant "rewrite everything from scratch" for a fortune — because untangling someone else's code isn't worth their while, while the downtime and the risk land on you. We start with an audit and tell you honestly: fix or replace. More often than not, fixing is cheaper.
Sound familiar?
- You're afraid to hit "update" — what if everything goes down.
- No one in the company knows how it works inside.
- The source code is lost or incomplete.
- Every contractor wants to rewrite from scratch.
- The business is hostage to one old application.
What we'll do
A code and architecture audit: what's inside, where the risks are. An honest verdict — "improve or replace" — with a total cost of ownership calculation. Refactoring of the critical parts without rewriting everything. Restoring the documentation and the build. A staged migration without stopping the business.
Why you can trust us on this
We don't make money off your fear of rewriting the system. If improving it beats replacing it, that's what we'll recommend. That's the difference between a contractor who profits from "all from scratch" and engineers who do the math on your budget. And the main thing: the audit itself is free — it's part of the analysis stage, which we do at our own expense. You get a map of the system and an honest "fix or replace" verdict before you pay a thing. → modernization and legacy
Typical scenario (illustration, not a real client)
A ten-year-old accounting application, source code partly lost, author unreachable → audit → restoring the build → refactoring the critical parts → staged migration.
FAQ
- Will you also say "rewrite from scratch"? Only if it's genuinely the better deal. The audit comes first.
- The source code is lost — can you help? Yes, we reconstruct from what's there; we assess the risks during the audit.
- Will the business stop? No — the migration is staged.
