Our legacy software modernization services
Code refactoring
Code refactoring is essential to enhance the quality of legacy code, eliminate technical debt, and align the application with current coding standards. Our software developers help clients improve code readability, maintainability, and efficiency so that their software remains adaptable to future changes and updates.
Typically, refactoring involves altering the backend and frontend components (API structure) while keeping the UI/UX functionalities unchanged — and bug-free.
App modernization consulting
We engage our app modernization consultants to provide expert guidance in evaluating, strategizing, and planning the transformation of your current software systems. Our experienced consultants analyze the current state of a legacy application, evaluate your business goals, and provide recommendations for a comprehensive legacy software modernization strategy.
This service helps organizations make informed decisions about the most suitable approaches and technologies for their unique goals and end expectations.
Cloud migration
Move your existing legacy applications and data from on-premises infrastructure to cloud or hybrid-cloud environments and take full advantage of the cloud — from improved accessibility to streamlined operations. As a result, it reduces infrastructure expenses, expedites time to market, enhances responsiveness, boosts scalability, and improves accessibility.
Rearchitecting and reengineering
Our skilled engineers can revamp your application's architecture to align with present requirements and harness cutting-edge technologies. This comprehensive process encompasses transitioning from monolithic to microservices architecture, optimizing scalability, and enhancing overall system performance.
In today's market, clients gain maximum value from service-oriented architectures (SOA), microservices, and serverless implementations. By modernizing your infrastructure, we foster agility and facilitate seamless communication across teams.
Rebuilding and replacing
When your current system fails to meet business requirements or when a more efficient and cost-effective solution exists, we can develop a new application or system from the ground up — or support the transition of your outdated legacy application to a new platform. This process may involve data migration and an easy transition from the old to new system.
Integration services for app modernization
The integration layer plays a vital role in connecting your applications. As a legacy software modernization company, our expertise extends to building APIs that enable seamless integration and expand capabilities, thus facilitating smooth interactions with other systems, databases, and third-party services.
Whether you need to incorporate AI, ML, SaaS solutions, or analytic tools, we are here to help you ensure smooth interoperability and data flow across different components of your application.

Our approach to legacy app modernization
Any software modernization project at Vention is tailored to the individual needs and requirements of every client, delivered on time and within budget. We understand the importance of operational continuity, scalability, and cost-efficiency, which is why we take a collaborative approach in our engagements and always use:
Automation
We leverage automation to expedite and enhance the quality of application modernization, spanning the configuration and deployment of cloud-native services to automating legacy apps. Streamline workflows, boost efficiency and productivity, and keep your team focused on core business goals.
Code refactoring
Our team also employs code refactoring — the process of restructuring existing spaghetti code without changing its external behavior.
Included in our legacy app modernization services, refactoring can streamline the process of maintaining an up-to-date codebase by enhancing readability and aligning the code with best practices. This, in turn, facilitates the seamless integration of new technologies and upgrades. We also provide guidance on how to make code both maintainable and extensible.
DevOps approach to IT transformation
We use a DevOps approach to IT transformation, combining development and operations teams into a single, automated process. This allows us to rapidly deliver software solutions that meet user requirements with minimal disruption or downtime.
Containerization
Our DevOps engineers work with containerization to ensure that our deployments are scalable, secure, and reliable. Containers provide an isolated environment for application components and allow us to quickly deploy applications anywhere with consistency and reliability.
We can also easily migrate applications from one host environment to another without any downtime or disruption. We take advantage of automation, continuous integration, and testing tools with the help of Kubernetes and Ansible to improve application performance.
Modern techniques and tools
We use modern techniques and tools to ensure that our IT transformation efforts are successful. This entails leveraging the capabilities of microservices architecture to achieve scalability, employing message brokers such as Kafka or RabbitMQ for smooth communication between components, and incorporating GraphQL for effective data querying and manipulation.
Agile methodology
We apply an agile methodology to ensure that our solutions meet needs and exceed expectations. With this approach, we can be sure that all stakeholders are on the same page when it comes to delivering value faster.
It allows all teams to gain greater clarity on what aspects of the system need modernization, thereby streamlining critical updates. What's more, it fosters a culture of continuous modernization, where improvements are consistently integrated into the workflow.
