Legacy upgrade — NZ Rx

Assessment, Rx (refactor & migrate), and incremental modernization for mission-critical legacy systems across New Zealand. Reduce risk, preserve business continuity, and unlock cloud-native value.

  • Platform, monolith, or aging integrations
  • Risk-aware migration and security hardening
  • Phased delivery to protect production
Legacy systems overview

Common challenges we solve

  • Slow releases and complex monoliths
  • Vendor lock-in and brittle integrations
  • Outdated frameworks and unsupported runtimes
  • High operational cost and security exposure

Our Rx process focuses on measurable outcomes: faster delivery, lower cost, improved reliability, and predictable security posture.

Our approach — Assess · Rx · Run

1. Rapid assessment

Code health, dependency map, business-critical paths, and migration risks.

2. Rx plan

Strangler patterns, componentization, API contracts, and cutover strategy.

3. Execute & run

Incremental delivery, automated testing, CI/CD, and runbook handover.

Patterns & technologies

We apply proven patterns: strangler, anti-corruption layer, event-driven decoupling, and containerization. Preferred stacks include .NET Core -> .NET 7, Node.js, Go, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, and managed cloud services.

Technology stack

Case study — Health sector migration (NZ)

We migrated core scheduling services from an on-prem monolith to a containerized microservice suite with zero-downtime cutover and automated failover. Outcome: 65% faster deployments, 40% lower infra cost.

FAQ

Small services: 4–8 weeks. Medium initiatives with phased rollout: 3–6 months. Larger transformations depend on scope and risk profile.

Yes. We incorporate local data residency, privacy, and sector-specific controls into design and deployment runbooks.

Yes — we offer handover, runbooks, run support, or managed services depending on your preference.
