Service · Legacy Modernisation
Staged modernisation of the platform your business depends on — while the business keeps running.
The problem, in your words
There's a system at the heart of your business that's been there for a decade. The person who built it left. It's slow, it breaks in ways nobody understands, it can't do what the business now needs — but it works, mostly, and every quote you've had for replacing it sounded like open-heart surgery priced by the hour.
A Discovery Sprint on a legacy system produces a plain-English map of what you have, what's at risk, and a staged plan — because "rewrite everything" is almost always the wrong answer.
We move functionality out of the old system piece by piece, so the business never stops and there's no big-bang cutover to fail.
Ageing servers to AWS, usually cutting hosting and maintenance costs in the process.
Sometimes the right first move is simply making the current system safe — backups, monitoring, documentation — and buying you time to decide calmly.
Discovery Sprint (£2,400, two weeks) → staged plan with a fixed quote per stage → migration in sprints, old system running until each piece is proven. Typical programmes: 2–6 months, spend spread across them.
Stabilisation work from £3,800; staged modernisation programmes typically £18,000–£70,000 across several months. Full detail on the Rates page.
This is the founder's signature work. At Blink Payment he directed the migration of a live, PCI DSS-regulated card payment platform from a monolith to AWS serverless — infrastructure costs down 34%, uptime held at 99.99%, millions of requests a month, no pause in the business. Your stock-control system will honestly be a relief after that.
