Is this for you?
Mature software holds years of business knowledge, and also the constraints of when it was built. Modernizing it is about keeping what works while making it easier to change, usually in steps rather than one risky replacement.
For example:
- An application on an old .NET Framework version
- Code where every change breaks something else
- Moving a system to the cloud
What Blue Pixel delivers
- Framework and runtime upgrades, such as .NET Framework to modern .NET
- Untangling code so changes stop rippling everywhere
- Moving parts behind APIs, or to the cloud
- Tests added around behavior before it changes
- A rewrite, only when it is justified
How the work goes
Understand
Learn what the system does and what the business relies on.
Plan in steps
Changes sequenced so each one ships on its own and can be checked.
Modernize
Work through the plan while the system keeps running.
What helps scope the work
It helps to know:
- The age and size of the system, and how well it is tested
- How many other systems depend on it
- How much change the business can absorb at once
Questions
Do we have to stop new features?
Usually not. Incremental modernization lets new work continue alongside it.
Can you move us to the cloud?
Yes, as part of modernization, where it suits the system and its costs.
