Our team integrates modern frameworks seamlessly into your existing workflows, ensuring your business keeps running while your tech gets an upgrade.

      AI-Accelerated Refactoring with Wippy

      Understanding millions of lines of legacy code used to take months. We use Wippy, our multi-agent AI platform, to analyze your existing codebase, map dependencies, and suggest refactoring paths. This drastically speeds up the modernization process and reduces the risk of human error during migration.

      User-Centric UX Modernization

      Legacy systems often suffer from outdated interfaces that frustrate users. We don’t just fix the backend, we prioritize the end-user experience. We modernize your UI/UX to improve accessibility, performance, and engagement, ensuring your new system feels as good as it works.

      Reducing Tech Debt & Costs

      Modernization shouldn’t break the bank. Our approach is designed to eliminate expensive technical debt and reduce long-term maintenance costs. By optimizing your infrastructure and code quality, we help you achieve a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and higher ROI.

      Transparent Transition & Support

      We make the handoff painless. From hands-on training to comprehensive documentation, we ensure your team is equipped to maintain and grow the new system. With clear reporting and direct access to our solution architects, you stay fully informed with no surprises.

      Analyze Your Legacy System Needs

      We start by conducting a deep dive into your current system’s architecture, identifying pain points such as performance bottlenecks, security vulnerabilities, and scalability challenges. Together, we define your modernization objectives, including desired outcomes, timelines, and budget.

      Design a Modernization Strategy

      With a clear understanding of your needs, we craft a comprehensive roadmap to guide your modernization journey. This plan outlines the optimal mix of approaches—whether it’s cloud migration, AI integration, or architecture redesign—and assembles the ideal team of experts to execute the strategy.

      Implement, Test, & Optimize

      Once the strategy is finalized, we begin transforming your legacy system with minimal disruption to operations. Our process includes rigorous testing and iterative optimization to enhance performance, ensure security, and future-proof your technology for scalable growth. Throughout the process, we keep you informed and involved to ensure alignment with your goals.

          Your questions, answered

          Legacy systems often face issues like high maintenance costs, security vulnerabilities, limited scalability, and integration challenges with modern platforms. The teams managing them can also lose the skills needed to modernize them or get comfortable maintaining the status quo. Spiral Scout’s expertise in modernization addresses these challenges by enhancing your infrastructure, optimizing system performance, and aligning technology with future-focused business objectives.

          We start with a thorough system audit, evaluating your current architecture, workflows, and pain points. Our team collaborates with you to understand your business objectives, budget, and technical requirements. Based on this analysis, we create a customized roadmap that outlines the best combination of modernization strategies, from cloud migration to code refactoring or system re-engineering.

          Data security is central to our services. We implement end-to-end encryption, adhere to compliance standards like GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, and leverage secure migration tools to protect your sensitive information during every step of the process.

          Our cloud migration process begins with assessing your current system’s readiness for the cloud. We then migrate your data, applications, and workloads to platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, optimizing them for cost-efficiency, performance, and scalability. Post-migration, we provide monitoring and ongoing support to maximize cloud benefits.

          Our services are ideal for industries where technology is mission-critical, such as automotive, industrial, healthcare, e-commerce, education, data providers, and logistics. Whether it’s improving breaking apart a monolithic application, dealing with security requirements, enhancing user experiences, or scaling a new skill set needed to meet customer demand, our approach is built on experience and delivers results across diverse sectors.

          We have 15 years of taking over projects and teams effectively. Most of our projects are legacy businesses that come to us for help. We combine a systemic approach to rescuing projects with our technical expertise combined with a collaborative, let’s not completely “rock the boat” approach. Our team works closely with you to design solutions that address your unique challenges, helps craft questions to ask your current team to get all the info you need and helps make sure that the changes you make not only solves today’s problems but also supports your future growth. With a proven track record and hand-holding approach, we can rescue any type of project or team.
