Design, Rebuild & Modernise Applications
Legacy applications often become barriers to growth, agility, and innovation. Our Application Modernisation services help organisations transform outdated systems into scalable, secure, and cloud ready platforms that support modern business needs.
We believe application modernisation is not just about rewriting code. It is about improving performance, reducing risk, enabling integration, and preparing systems for future technologies like AI, analytics, and automation.
Our consulting led approach ensures application modernisation is driven by business outcomes, not just technical upgrades.
- Business outcomes before technical changes
- Risk reduction before rapid transformation
- Architecture clarity before refactoring
- Scalability before optimisation
- Security before migration
- Incremental value before big bang releases
- Integration before isolation
- Measurement before optimisation
Modernise What Matters
Why Application Modernisation Initiatives Fail
Lack of Clear Modernisation Strategy
Applications are modernised without aligning to business priorities or future needs.
High Risk Big Bang Migrations
Large scale rewrites introduce downtime, cost overruns, and operational risk.
Poor Understanding of Existing Systems
Hidden dependencies and undocumented logic create surprises during execution.
Over Engineering the Solution
Modern tools are applied without considering simplicity and maintainability.
Limited Integration Planning
Modernised applications fail to connect effectively with other systems.
No Long Term Ownership Model
Applications become modern but difficult to maintain or enhance.
Architecture Redesign & Refactoring
We refactor applications to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Security & Compliance Modernisation
We upgrade security controls to meet modern standards.
Architecture Redesign & Refactoring
We refactor applications to improve performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Frequently asked questions
Application modernisation is the process of improving existing applications to meet current business, performance, security, and scalability requirements.
Modernisation focuses on improving and evolving existing systems incrementally, while rebuilding replaces the application entirely.
Yes. We use phased and incremental approaches to minimise downtime and risk.
Yes. Many legacy applications can be refactored and migrated to cloud environments.
We evaluate business goals, system complexity, risk, and cost to define the right strategy.
Yes. We modernise user interfaces, backend services, databases, and integrations.
Yes. Performance improvements are a key outcome of modernisation.
Yes. We design APIs and integrations to connect modernised applications with enterprise platforms.
Timelines vary by complexity, but most initiatives are delivered in phases for faster value.
Yes. We offer ongoing support, optimisation, and enhancement services.
Yes. We specialise in upgrading applications built on legacy and unsupported stacks.
We embed modern security practices and compliance controls throughout the process.
Yes. Modernised applications are easier and cheaper to maintain.
Yes. Documentation and enablement are part of every engagement.
Frontial combines consulting discipline with hands on engineering, ensuring modernisation initiatives are practical, low risk, and aligned with long term business goals.
