Legacy Application Modernization Software Services – 99.70% Referral Rating
We Specialize In Providing Application Modernization Software Services & Consultants That Seamlessly Integrate With Your Team, Spool Up Quickly, And Make Your Software Development Team Better
We Take Old Code And Make It New
At Black Slate, we specialize in legacy software and application modernization, starting with the evaluation of your current architecture and system to identify areas that are outdated or on the cusp of being unsupported.
During the assessment and modernization process, if requested, solutions for the upgrade, technology pivot, or re-architecture are identified and outlined for your consideration. If you are already set on your path, our consultants can strengthen your team by resolving challenges quickly and identifying items that may become a problem later.
NOTE: Whether your team is entirely in-house talent or a combination of in-house and offshore, our onshore specialist will help manage to ensure your team works in universal best practices, verify that a knowledge base is maintained (offshore consideration), and help you stay on task and budget.
When The Time Is Right For Application Modernization
The easiest way to identify when your applications are no longer relevant is when you hear yourself saying, “No, we can’t do that.” We are in a time when almost anything is possible with software, from automating manual tasks to using proprietary data in real-time to predict and modify essential business decisions. If you are still using spreadsheets or repetitive manual tasks are not automated, consider an assessment to help identify and present updates that could impact the bottom line.
We help you assess your system: Consider a detailed assessment of your system by one of our senior consultants for $5,000 or less. It may be the best money you ever spent.
The Hidden Costs of Legacy Applications
Maintenance & Support
One of the issues with Legacy systems is that they are often enormous and interwoven into many locations. Changing just one module can create conflicts and bring down the entire system. In addition, because they are so vast, making simple updates can take hours of resource time and often results in a workaround that is not an actual fix. Legacy systems are expensive to maintain, and adjusting to new requirements can open up a can of worms. (Consider your architecture in these situations to create a more agile framework that works on containers or PI-Driven development)
Technical Debt
The older your system becomes, the greater the chance of technical debt. As your development team becomes outdated, you put yourself in a precarious position since we all know there will be a time when an upgrade is required. As time passes, every change suddenly requires more investment, and a greater chance that hiring new team members is the result. Consider a phased approach that includes temporary expertise and education. Staying up with technological advancements alleviates the pain of trying to leap forward over a whole that is too deep and wide and requires significant change.
Limited Impact
A need for modernization often arises in a piece of the puzzle rather than throughout the entire system. When this happens, take the time to evaluate the whole system. We all understand that it can be challenging to consider modernization in terms of future issues that have not arisen, but it is wise to start with a plan that looks in that direction. Outline phases that attack the current issue so you can get started, but knowing that they will align with future upgrades puts your company one step ahead of the curve and ensure you use your valuable resources wisely.
Why Consider Black Slate Application Modernization Software Services?
Because we have been modernizing applications since 1991, and in a survey of over 4,000 customers conducted by an outside firm, results showed that 99.70% said they would refer Black Slate to others. NASA trusted us. You should too!
How often have you heard, “The software is working just fine and still does almost everything we need it to do… so why fix what isn’t broken?” Unfortunately, this person speaking needs to be made aware of the unseen costs that are adding up and could be avoided. According to a report from the Whitehouse, in 2019 alone, the US Federal Government spent 80% of the IT budget on Operations and Maintenance, mainly targeting legacy systems (which they noted) posed cybersecurity and mission risks.

Cloud Migration & Integration
Better For Remote Work – Access Files & Applications From Anywhere
Easier to Scale With Business Growth
Part Of A Proven System That Is Maintained & Updated For You
It is essential to understand the differences between the wide range of choices you have and the leaders of the pack; Azure, AWS, and GCP. For example, one of the key differences between Azure and AWS is how they deal with temporary storage. Azure is based on page and block storage “Blobs” for virtual memory and object storage. At the same time, AWS assigns temporary storage during the instance and then deletes the data when the instance is terminated. So much to consider. Let Black Slate experts help you evaluate which is best for your long-term needs or help you integrate into the one already selected.
