What we do

From old codebase to modern platform.

How we turn a legacy system into something you can build on again. Most projects combine a few of these.

Extract & document the features

We map what your legacy system actually does, including the undocumented logic everyone quietly relies on.

Replicate on a modern stack

We rebuild the proven feature set on current, well-supported technology you can hire for and keep extending.

Extend what it could never do

Modernising is the moment to add the capabilities your old system was never able to support.

Full test coverage

Automated and manual test suites, so the new system is verifiably correct and safe to keep changing.

Data migration & integrations

Bring your history across and reconnect the systems your legacy app talked to.

Keep your IP

Carry forward the value already encoded in your system, and own the modern codebase outright.

Why this way

Upgrade with confidence.

Modernising a system you depend on is risky if it's done as one big rewrite. Here's how we de-risk it.

Modernise without the rewrite gamble

We replicate proven behaviour first, then extend, so you upgrade with confidence instead of a big-bang rewrite.

Maximum value from your IP

Your legacy system encodes years of hard-won logic. We carry that value forward rather than throw it away.

Verifiably correct

Full test coverage means the modern system does what the old one did, provably, before you switch over.

Investment

What does it cost?

Legacy modernisation scales with the size of the system. Here's roughly where most engagements land.

Who we've helped

Legacy systems, modernised.

Broker Engine

Stuck in an expensive Microsoft Dynamics CRM, Broker Engine moved off the platform onto a custom build and saved hundreds of thousands in annual license fees. The result is what many consider Australia's best CRM for mortgage brokers, with a 92% NPS.

Life Supports

Life Supports came to us after a failed Salesforce installation. They manage phone-based leads on behalf of other businesses, a workflow poorly suited to common CRMs. A tailor-made replacement saved over 10 minutes per call, letting them scale without adding staff.

Changing our whole business was risky. To be honest, I don't know if we could have done it without Alliance.
