Speaking both languages
We understand legacy systems as deeply as we understand modern ones.
Most of the systems keeping your business running were built before the internet became a business tool. We know those systems. We also know what it takes to move forward.
Our Philosophy
Your legacy system is not broken - yet. It's working exactly as designed—often more reliably than the systems being built to replace it.
The problem is not so much the technology. It's that the people who understand it have retired. Modern tools finally give us the chance to understand the buried business logic.
Hardware has reached end-of-life long ago. Replacement parts are hard to impossible to find. Migration paths need to be set up before the work horse is dead.
Integration requirements have shifted — your customers, suppliers, and partners now expect APIs and real-time data, not batch files and manual exports. Compliance pressure is mounting, with audit trails and data handling rules that didn't exist when these systems were built.
legacymigrations.com enters this space with a simple premise:
Migration is not about destroying the old. It's about understanding it deeply, preserving its business logic, and translating it into a form that serves the future.
Why We're Different
We Speak the Old Language
Direct operational experience with RPG, COBOL, FoxPro, AS/400, and embedded firmware. Not consultancy theory — actual hands-on history.
AI-Assisted Diagnosis
Claude and modern AI tools read undocumented source code and extract business logic in weeks instead of months. No documentation? That's our starting point.
Bridge, Don't Burn
No forced big-bang rewrites. Phased migration, strangler-fig patterns, and API wrappers protect continuity while modernisation happens in controlled steps.
Hardware to Software
Most consultants are specialists. We span embedded firmware, PCB-level design, legacy databases, and modern web stacks. Covering the full picture.
Progress at Every Stage
Small-to-medium phases, each with a visible outcome. You see results before committing to the next step and the budget follows the progress, not the other way around.
Knowledge Beyond the Migration
When the people who understood the system are gone, the system itself becomes the only record left. We analyse what's there and turn it back into knowledge your team can use, now and after we're gone.
