Our experience

At Scaffold Digital, our team has extensive experience in maintaining and modernising legacy systems. We understand the intricacies and complexities that come with working with ageing codebases. By taking the time to understand your needs, we tailor our maintenance services accordingly. This ensures that every effort we undertake is geared towards driving value when deciding to invest time and resources in extending or maintaining a codebase. Maintaining a legacy platform can be costly, but we work efficiently to minimise costs while ensuring the platform remains up-to-date and secure.

As your business expands and evolves, it’s essential that your platform can keep pace. We understand the critical importance of scalability, which is why we ensure that your legacy platform is designed to handle increased demand and growth. Our team implements scalable solutions capable of handling higher traffic, larger datasets, and additional features as your evolving business requirements.

OUR APPROACH

Technical Audit

We begin the process by gaining access to your current codebase(s) and conducting a thorough technical audit. A technical audit is a comprehensive evaluation and analysis of systems, processes, and infrastructure to assess their performance, functionality, security, compliance and efficiency. This is carried out by our expert team of software engineers.
Recommended Strategic Approach

Based on the findings from our technical audit, we will develop a modernisation strategy. This strategy may include various elements such as code refactoring and performance optimisation, aimed to revitalise your platform for maximum efficiency and functionality.
Development & Migration

If required, we seamlessly migrate your platform to modern technologies, ensuring seamless compatibility with your existing systems. Additionally, we integrate new features and functionalities to elevate user experience and align with your business objectives. Our development process is meticulous, ensuring a smooth transition and minimal disruptions. Our team will guide you through this process every step of the way.
Not Fit for Purpose

If we determine that your legacy platform is deemed unsuitable for continued use due to outdated technology or poor performance, we offer strategic guidance for the way forward. In this case we would recommend developing a new platform that leverages the latest technologies and best practices, ensuring it is fit for purpose. The initial step in this journey involves moving into discovery to lay the roadmap for your new technical solution.
Support & Maintenance

Our commitment to your platform extends beyond the modernisation process. We provide continuous support and maintenance services to keep your platform up-to-date, secure, and efficient. Our team remains dedicated to ensuring your platform performs optimally, allowing you to focus on your core business activities with peace of mind.
