Business-critical software does not stop being critical just because it is old. Techlancer keeps legacy applications running — and helps them evolve — whether that means an urgent fix, steady maintenance, or a carefully staged modernization.
Support | Extend | Maintain | Migrate | Modernize | Rewrite
How We Can Help
- Quick-turn stabilization of broken software
- Adding or modifying features and functionality in your existing code base
- Maintenance work that fixes bugs, improves the user interface, and corrects obsolescence issues
- Application modernization — feasibility review, scoping options, and implementation, at the subsystem level or as a full rewrite
- Ongoing support when internal resources are no longer available

Our Legacy Software Support Process
1. Immediate Support & Stabilization
As soon as we have the source code, we get to work on the urgent problems — implementing fixes that stabilize the system. From that point on, we support your staff whenever issues arise.
2. System & Process Evaluation
With the urgent concerns addressed, support in place, and the system stable, we evaluate the entire application and how well it serves your organization’s business model.
We sit with your staff to learn their workflow and how they use the system in its current state, identify their obstacles, and listen to their suggestions and wish list. We also evaluate the suitability of the development platform along with your long-term support options.
After this evaluation, we present our recommendations — which may range from minor tweaks to a multi-phase upgrade that improves efficiency, addresses a changing business model, and migrates the system to a more suitable, modern platform (potentially including a complete rewrite).
3. Development & Roll-Out
Our developers begin improving the system to meet your needs while working to maintain its stability and minimize disruption to day-to-day operations.
4. Ongoing Support
Before, during, and after development and roll-out, we are there to support the application — and, as needs arise, to keep modifying it: improving efficiency, responding to changes in your business or workflow, and adopting newer technologies that improve the user experience.
