Powerful, flexible, and resilient IT systems are the backbone of successful businesses. However, when business needs change or these systems become outdated, they can hinder innovation and competitiveness and require reengineering. At the same time, modernisation projects are often fraught with financial, technical, and organizational risks.
In particular, the modernisation of business-critical systems must not fail. We support you by taking into account both the technical and organizational aspects of your IT landscape and protecting your investment!
Our goal is to protect your investments by adapting existing systems to future requirements and transferring them into a future-proof structure. We take a holistic view of your systems, examining both the technical aspects and the entire socio-technical system in which the software is used. This includes the team, the development process, regulatory risks, and the strategic environment. We use a methodical approach that extends the ATAM framework with principles of domain-driven design methods and our 360-degree view.
Working closely with IT, the business, and management, we develop customized modernisation plans that effectively mitigate risk and align with your business objectives. The result is a modernisation that is focused, secure, and delivers value.
Do you already have a modernisation plan and want an external, independent review? We can provide you with a second opinion and possible alternatives for your project. Neutrally, independently and within three to five days.
We use the System Health Check to determine the health of your system. The analysis is based on the Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (ATAM) framework, which we have further developed. Within 10 to 20 days, depending on the scope, you will receive an overall assessment of the suitability and performance of your system, taking into account the requirements you have specified. With your business strategy in mind, we develop the basis for the next steps.
The System Review provides an in-depth analysis of your system based on specific requirements and quality scenarios. Within 20-30 days, you will receive a comprehensive assessment that includes stakeholder interviews and a technical architecture and source code review.You benefit from prioritised recommendations for action, detailed risk analyses and informed strategies for organisational development.This easy-to-understand assessment will help you to better understand quality scenarios and business objectives, and to plan and implement targeted adjustments to your system.
We implement your IT modernisation project securely and coordinate and prioritise the work packages with you. In preparation, we use a proof of concept to identify the critical points of implementation and develop comprehensive cost and risk management. You will receive a detailed roadmap that defines predictable objectives and gives you the confidence that your project will be a success.
viastore offers high-quality intralogistics solutions. Because the warehouse management system that had been developed in-house for decades, a grown monolithic system in C++, had become too complex, a health check was commissioned. The translation of the business strategy into technical requirements, detailed analyses and the development of a new target architecture led to a comprehensive modernisation concept that significantly reduced complexity and was highly accepted by the employees.
SENEC GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of EnBW, is a leading manufacturer of battery storage systems for private households and small businesses. They needed a future-proof platform for processing the IoT data from their battery storage systems. Together with the customer, we designed the architecture and built the platform. We also developed high-level technical components and supported the migration of the existing system landscape to the new platform. This led to the standardised collection and provision of IoT data for surrounding portals, data analysis platforms and services. The stable, scalable overall architecture enabled cost-effective data processing. There was also an intensive transfer of knowledge within the customer's teams.
We have been developing and modernising custom software solutions for our customers for over 25 years. Over 10 million people use our applications every day, some of them for decades. Our customers trust us because we have deep expertise in analysing, modernising and redeveloping legacy systems. Throughout our history, we have never had a project fail.
