Enterprise Software Modernisation
Transform legacy systems into modern, efficient applications that meet today's business demands
Breathe New Life into Legacy Systems
Proven modernisation strategies for sustainable business growth
Legacy systems, while often mission-critical, can become significant barriers to business agility, innovation, and growth. Patron Technology's enterprise modernisation services help organizations transform outdated systems into modern, cloud-native applications that reduce maintenance costs, improve performance, enhance security, and enable new capabilities. With 24+ years of experience and 500+ successful modernisation projects, we bring proven methodologies and deep technical expertise to safely transform critical business systems without disrupting operations.
Our modernisation practice, based in Mumbai, India, has successfully transformed legacy systems for global clients across banking, healthcare, manufacturing, and government sectors. We've migrated 15-year-old monolithic applications to microservices, transformed COBOL and mainframe systems to modern platforms, re-platformed applications for cloud environments, and rebuilt outdated interfaces with modern UX. Our approach balances business continuity with technical transformation, ensuring zero data loss, minimal downtime, and continuous value delivery throughout the modernisation journey.
Enterprise modernisation is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor. Our comprehensive approach starts with assessment of your existing systems, business requirements, technical debt, and organizational constraints. We then recommend the optimal modernisation strategy – whether rehosting to cloud, re-platforming for cloud optimization, refactoring code, re-architecting for modern patterns, rebuilding from scratch, or replacing with COTS solutions. We execute modernisation in controlled phases, maintaining parallel systems where necessary, conducting extensive testing, and ensuring smooth cutover with comprehensive migration plans.
What sets Patron Technology apart is our holistic approach combining technical excellence with business understanding. We don't just lift-and-shift; we architect for the future, implementing microservices, containerization, API-first design, modern databases, and cloud-native patterns. Clients benefit from India's cost advantages – our modernisation services cost 30-50% less than US/UK firms – while receiving expertise backed by successful transformations including a 15-year banking platform now serving 2M+ users, a healthcare system modernised with zero downtime, and a government system transformed from mainframe to cloud, reducing costs by 60% while improving performance 300%.
Modernisation Approaches
Multiple strategies tailored to your needs
Rehost (Lift & Shift)
Move applications to cloud with minimal changes for quick migration and immediate cloud benefits.
Re-platform
Optimize for cloud by making targeted changes to take advantage of cloud capabilities.
Refactor
Restructure and optimize existing code while maintaining external behavior and functionality.
Re-architect
Redesign using modern patterns like microservices, serverless, and cloud-native architecture.
Rebuild
Rewrite applications from scratch using modern technologies while retaining functionality.
Replace
Replace legacy systems with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) or SaaS solutions.
Benefits of Modernisation
Measurable business outcomes from transformation
Reduced Maintenance Costs
Average 40-60% reduction in ongoing maintenance and infrastructure costs post-modernisation.
Improved Performance
2-5x performance improvements through modern architecture and cloud scalability.
Enhanced Security
Modern security controls, encryption, and compliance with current regulations.
Business Agility
Faster feature deployment, easier integrations, and ability to adapt to market changes.
Better User Experience
Modern interfaces, responsive design, and improved usability driving user satisfaction.
Scalability
Cloud-native architecture enabling automatic scaling to handle variable workloads.
Success Story: Banking Platform Modernisation
Transforming 15-year-old system to cloud-native architecture
A UK bank's core platform was struggling with 15-year-old technology. The monolithic .NET application couldn't scale, had frequent outages, and made new feature development extremely slow. We designed and executed a comprehensive modernisation transforming it into microservices on AWS, implemented CI/CD, and rebuilt the frontend with React. The migration was executed with zero downtime using a strangler fig pattern.
Our Modernisation Process
Structured approach for successful transformation
Assessment & Planning
Evaluate legacy systems, identify technical debt, assess business impact, and create modernisation roadmap.
Strategy Selection
Choose optimal approach (rehost, re-platform, refactor, re-architect, rebuild, or replace).
Architecture Design
Design target architecture with modern patterns, cloud services, and integration approach.
Pilot & Validation
Execute pilot modernisation to validate approach, identify issues, and refine processes.
Phased Migration
Implement modernisation in controlled phases with parallel running and comprehensive testing.
Optimization & Support
Fine-tune performance, implement monitoring, provide training, and ongoing support.
