The Legacy Trap


Organisations may find themselves trapped in a costly cycle where aging legacy systems, nearing the end of their life, prompt the need for replacement.

However, the new legacy systems built to replace the old ones eventually face a similar fate. This cycle can detrimentally impact the organisation and decrease business agility.

The Jidoka process emerged through the use of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), DevOps, and lessons learned using other software development methodologies across 100+ projects.

Modernisation

1. Discover

Our team captures your business requirements as models encompassing user flows, interfaces, requirements, data structures, and logic.

2. Modernise

We create or reuse templates in any modern tech stack from the models, automatically generating the majority of requirements. This lets us quickly customise to the complete the business requirements, reducing development time while ensuring high quality, tailored results.

3. Optimise

Once tested, our DevOps team provisions and releases the complete application and infrastructure as code to your chosen cloud provider. We can manage it on your behalf or empower your team to continually enhance the models and system as your business requirements evolve.

Project Types

Like-for -Like


You would not be replacing the legacy system with the same thing. The external facing components of the legacy system, such as the UI and APIs, are replaced as close to like-for- like as practical. The internal parts of the new system can be architected as required.

Disparate Systems


Disparate systems are common as organisations organically grow over time. The systems can be digital or manual systems and have been built without considering the whole. They can be more open to considering changes due to the disconnected nature of the various systems.

Spreadsheets


Wide-spread across organisations as they have a low barrier to entry and provide a powerful set of features to manage and analyse data. However, many organisations often find themselves reliant on spreadsheets, and these tools become integral to critical business operations.
