Legacy System Modernisation
Guiding your business through the transition from Legacy Systems to scalable and modern solutions
Legacy System Modernisation
Legacy system modernisation is the process of updating outdated IT systems to meet current and future organisational needs. Whether updating, migrating or replacing, the goal is to transition to agile, secure and efficient architectures such as cloud platforms, serverless, microservices and API-driven solutions.

The benefits of successfully Modernising Legacy Systems
Legacy systems, while once effective, can often become a burden as they age and fail to keep up with technological innovation.
Here’s how getting legacy system modernisation right can transform your business:
Preserve critical systems, reduce risk
Keep vital systems intact while minimising the risk of failures and security breaches.
Drive innovation, not maintenance
Free up resources to focus on value-driven projects, reducing the burden of legacy system upkeep.
Speed up time to market
Agile systems allow faster rollouts of new features, meeting market demands more efficiently.
Lower operational costs
Modern solutions cut maintenance costs, making long-term savings a reality.
Flexibility to adapt
Modern systems provide the adaptability needed to respond to business changes quickly, such as the ability to scale on demand.
Strengthen security & compliance
Build in the latest security measures, ensuring your systems are safe and meet regulatory standards.
Boost team satisfaction
Teams are more engaged when working with modern, efficient technology that feels current and stimulating.
Improve user and system experience
Modern systems offer faster performance and better integration capabilities, improving both user experience and interoperability with other platforms.

How to tackle Legacy System Modernisation projects?
Claria approach
Modernising legacy systems can be a daunting yet essential step for businesses. Tackling this process requires careful planning, a clear strategy and the right partners. Here’s how we approach legacy system modernisation at Claria.
1. Strategic assessment
Before beginning the modernisation process, we thoroughly assess your current system. This involves understanding your business goals, identifying pain points and recognising the systems that require attention. We work closely with your team to define the scope of modernisation and how it will support your long-term objectives.
2. Define a roadmap
We help you develop a clear roadmap for modernising your legacy systems. This includes setting milestones, timelines and clear objectives, ensuring that we balance quick wins with longer-term improvements. Our approach focuses on aligning technology upgrades with your business needs, making sure your transformation doesn’t disrupt day-to-day operations.
3. Select the right technologies
Choosing the right technologies is key to successful modernisation. Whether it’s moving to cloud-based solutions, adopting microservices, or integrating with new tools, we leverage our partnerships with top providers like Azure, AWS, WSO2 and Boomi to ensure you get the best fit for your business. Our experts guide you through the technology selection process, making sure each decision supports your modernisation goals.
4. Plan for data integration
We help integrate your legacy systems with new applications, ensuring that data flows smoothly across all platforms. Our integration solutions ensure minimal disruption and support for real-time data processing, enhancing operational efficiency.
5. Implement & Migrate
Once the strategy and technologies are in place, we handle the implementation and migration phases. We carefully migrate your data and applications to new platforms, ensuring that nothing is lost and that your new system is both reliable and secure. We follow best practices to minimise downtime and avoid disruptions during the transition.
6. Test & Optimise
Once your systems are modernised, we conduct extensive testing to ensure everything works as expected. Our goal is to identify and resolve any issues early, ensuring that your new systems are optimised for performance, scalability and security. Continuous improvement is a key part of our process, so we always look for ways to further optimise your infrastructure post-deployment.
7. Ongoing support & Maintenance
Modernising legacy systems is an ongoing process. After the initial transformation, we provide continuous support and maintenance, ensuring that your new systems evolve with your business.
Common mistakes made in Legacy System Modernisation
Modernising legacy systems is a crucial but complex process and businesses often make critical mistakes that affect the success of the project.
Here are the most common mistakes to avoid:
1. Failing to assess business needs
Many organisations dive into modernisation without a clear understanding of their business requirements. This leads to mismatched solutions that don't support long-term goals, resulting in wasted resources and unmet expectations. A detailed assessment of business needs is crucial for successful implementation.
2. Underestimating data migration complexity
Data migration from legacy systems to modern platforms often proves more complex than anticipated. Clients sometimes fail to plan for the intricacies of transferring large amounts of data, leading to disruptions, data loss, or poor-quality data after migration
3. Choosing the wrong technology stack
A significant number of clients opt for popular solutions without evaluating whether they fit their specific needs. Using inappropriate technology can cause scalability issues, higher costs and slow performance, ultimately limiting the organisation's ability to innovate and grow.
4. Not planning for change management
Many businesses focus solely on the technical aspects of modernisation but overlook the importance of supporting their teams. Without clear communication, training and ongoing support, employees may struggle to adapt to the new systems, reducing overall productivity.
5. Strategic assessment
As businesses shift to modern platforms, they often neglect the vital step of ensuring compliance with data security regulations. Modernising legacy systems without considering security requirements can expose businesses to risks, such as data breaches or regulatory fines.
