Let’s modernize your legacy software & systems — without disrupting operations.

The Challenge: Outdated Systems, Modern Problems

Many small and mid-sized businesses still rely on legacy applications that were once innovative — but now hold them back.

Here’s what happens when your legacy software can’t keep up:

  • Rising maintenance and licensing costs
  • Security vulnerabilities and compliance risks
  • Poor integration with cloud, AI, or mobile systems
  • Outdated user experience frustrating employees and customers
  • Inflexible architecture that slows innovation

Legacy vs Modern Systems: A Quick Comparison

Feature Legacy Systems Modern Applications
Speed & Performance Slow response, frequent downtime Fast, optimized for high traffic
Maintenance Cost High, resource-heavy Lower due to automation and scalability
Security Vulnerable to breaches Regular updates and encryption standards
Integration Limited API-driven, connects easily to modern tools
Scalability Fixed capacity Cloud-native and elastic
IBM estimates that 60–80% of IT budgets are spent maintaining legacy systems — money that could instead fuel innovation.

Why Modernize Now?

Modernization isn’t just an IT decision — it’s a strategic growth move.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Every year your systems stay outdated, you face:
  • Reduced productivity due to inefficiency
  • Higher operational costs from manual workarounds
  • Increased cybersecurity risks from unpatched vulnerabilities
  • Lost competitiveness as digital-first competitors surge ahead
According to McKinsey, businesses that invest in modernization can reduce IT costs by up to 30% and improve speed-to-market by 50%.

Don’t let outdated systems slow your growth.

FAQs – Legacy Application Modernization

What is legacy application modernization?

Legacy application modernization is the process of upgrading older software systems—often built on outdated technologies—to modern platforms that are faster, more secure, and easier to maintain. It helps businesses enhance performance, reduce maintenance costs, and improve integration with new tools and cloud technologies.

How do I know if my software needs modernization?

You likely need modernization if your software:

  • Takes too long to update or deploy changes
  • Frequently crashes or requires manual fixes
  • Can’t integrate with new apps or cloud tools
  • Has security vulnerabilities or outdated libraries
  • Costs more to maintain than to innovate

What are legacy system modernization services?

Legacy system modernization services involve assessing, upgrading, and re-architecting old systems to meet modern standards. These services may include rehosting, replatforming, refactoring, or rebuilding your application using newer technologies like React JS, Node JS, or ASP.NET Core, depending on your goals and current infrastructure.

How long does legacy app modernization take?

The timeline depends on the complexity and scope of your app. Here are some rough estimates:

  • Small apps (like internal tools): 4–6 weeks
  • Mid-sized systems: 8–12 weeks
  • Enterprise-grade solutions: 3–6 months
    At Telkoware, we create a phased roadmap that ensures minimal disruption to your daily operations while maintaining transparency on progress and milestones.

Will I lose my existing data during legacy app modernization?

No. At Telkoware, data integrity is a top priority.
We use secure migration frameworks and perform multiple testing rounds to ensure your business data—customer records, transactions, files—remains 100% safe and accessible during and after modernization.

What technologies do you use for modernization?

We use a wide range of modern technologies, depending on your system architecture and goals:

  • Frontend: React JS, Angular, Vue JS
  • Backend: Node JS, ASP.NET Core, Python, PHP
  • Database: SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB

Cloud & DevOps: Azure, AWS, Google Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes
We recommend the most cost-effective stack based on your long-term scalability needs.

What industries does Telkoware serve?

Telkoware provides legacy software modernization services for diverse industries, including:

  • Manufacturing & Logistics
  • Healthcare & Clinics
  • Retail & E-commerce
  • Professional Services
  • Non-profits & Education

Finance, Insurance & Banking
We understand the unique needs of organizations and tailor every modernization plan accordingly.

What is the cost range for modernization?

Modernization cost depends on the project scope, technology stack, and chosen approach:

  • Rehosting / Replatforming: Starting around $5,000–$15,000
  • Partial Modernization: $10,000–$25,000
  • Full Rebuild: $20,000–$50,000+
    We provide transparent estimates with ROI projections before starting.

How is modernization different from rebuilding?

Modernization upgrades and enhances your existing system, while rebuilding means starting from scratch with a new design and codebase.
Modernization is typically faster and less costly—ideal when the current system still meets business needs but needs performance, security, new integrations or UX improvements.

Can you modernize both web and mobile apps?

Yes. Telkoware offers application modernization services for both web and mobile platforms.
We modernize older mobile apps (built in frameworks like Ionic or early Android/iOS versions) using React Native or Flutter, ensuring a seamless multi-device experience.

Can modernization improve cybersecurity?

Absolutely. Legacy systems are often vulnerable to outdated security protocols.
Modernization strengthens your cybersecurity posture by:

  • Updating to the latest encryption and authentication standards
  • Closing known security gaps
  • Enabling better data access control and audit trails
  • Ensuring compliance with standards like GDPR, HIPAA, or PHIPA

Is cloud migration required for modernization?

Not necessarily. While many modernization projects involve cloud migration for scalability, we can also modernize your system on-premises if needed.
That said, most companies benefit greatly from the flexibility, cost-efficiency, and reliability that cloud platforms like Azure or AWS provide.

What ROI can I expect from modernization?

Most companies see:

  • 30 – 50% reduction in IT maintenance costs
  • 25 – 40% faster operations
  • Improved security and user satisfaction
    Modernization delivers both short-term savings and long-term growth potential.

How does modernization impact performance?

Modern systems load faster, respond quicker, and scale automatically with demand.
For example, moving to microservices or the cloud can reduce response times by 40–60%.
You’ll also notice faster reporting, smoother integrations, and fewer outages.

Do you offer post-modernization support?

Yes. Telkoware provides ongoing maintenance, performance monitoring, and security updates to ensure your application continues running optimally after modernization.
We also offer annual support plans (Basic, Standard, Premium) for proactive management and future scalability planning.

How do you ensure compliance and data protection?

We follow industry-standard compliance frameworks and apply encryption, access control, and audit mechanisms.
For healthcare, finance, and other regulated industries, we ensure compliance with GDPR, HIPAA, PHIPA, and PCI DSS depending on your region and sector.
