Our software modernization services focus on reducing the operational expenses associated with legacy applications, enhancing their features, performance, and security, and ensuring that the updated solutions remain scalable and easy to maintain over time. Committed to sophisticated software modernization and risk management practices, Technobd Limited provides comprehensive app modernization services to help businesses unlock new potential from their existing solutions.
Consulting on application modernization:
Our expert team thoroughly evaluates your legacy application code and infrastructure, identifies requirements and presents in-depth guidance on enhancements that can help you maximize returns from past investments.
Migrating legacy apps to the cloud:
Based on the application and your business requirements, Technobd Limited proposes one of three cloud migration strategies – application re-hosting, application re-platforming, or application rearchitecting.
- Re-hosting applications: We move the application from on-premises or an older cloud infrastructure to a new cloud environment (such as AWS or Azure). This swift and straightforward migration option supports DevOps and universal access, optimizes hardware resource utilization, and prepares for more advanced modernization later on. However, re-hosting provides limited cloud-driven advantages regarding app resilience, performance, and scalability.
- Re-platforming applications: Alongside migrating the application to the cloud, we introduce minor modifications and upgrades in code to access more sophisticated cloud capabilities (improved performance, scaling, fault-tolerance, etc.) for the application.
- Re-architecting applications: We modify the application's architecture (e.g., segmenting it into web services/microservices) to take full advantage of cloud capabilities. The application will adapt to fluctuating load and performance demands, allow for partial updates, technology integration, and shared platform usage.
Reengineering applications:
With an extensive array of legacy application modernization skills, we can assist you in revamping and slightly adjusting code and design for your long-standing enterprise applications.
Benefits of application reengineering:
- Enabling web and mobile access.
- Enhanced appearance and user experience.
- Streamlined and cost-efficient maintenance and updates.
- Facilitating DevOps and CI/CD.
- Increased performance and response time.
Recoding applications
We breathe new life into your applications developed on legacy languages and platforms (such as PowerBuilder, Delphi, VB, C++, COBOL) or aging technologies (outdated Java and .NET versions) by utilizing modern programming languages, frameworks, and databases.
Containerizing applications:
For all modernization options, we can bundle your applications or their parts into isolated packages at the OS level.
Advantages of containerization:
- Fewer resources required for operation.
- Easier scalability.
- Effortless movement across diverse environments.
- Enabling CI/CD practices.
- 22+ years of experience in software development.
- 50+ dedicated developers, with a majority being senior professionals having 9-20 years of experience.
- Expertise in software modernization and various migration strategies (rehosting, replatforming, re-architecting, refactoring, and more).
- Experience in 12+ industries, including healthcare, BFSI, manufacturing, retail, logistics, oil & gas, and telecoms.
- Partnerships with global tech leaders like Microsoft, AWS, Oracle, IBM, and others.
- Well-established Agile and DevOps cultures, transparent KPIs, and mature risk management practices.

The overall cost of software modernization can vary from $10,000–$15,000 for a UI improvement or re-hosting a small app, to $50,000–$250,000 for significant modernization of a medium or large app. If comprehensive re-engineering, in-depth recoding, or the incorporation of advanced technologies (e.g., big data, AI/ML) is necessary, the expense may exceed $500,000 for a large application.
Key cost factors that impact the price of software modernization include:
- The intricacy of applications and their dependencies.
- The quantity of data to transfer.
- The longevity of the application and its cloud migration readiness; the range of infrastructure, code, and configuration alterations required.
- The degree of modernization automation and the expense of relevant software licenses (e.g., code conversion tools).
- The necessary testing efforts.
Definitely. In such situations, our team will extract business rules from the current application code and documentation, examine code dependencies, and assess component integrations. We're also prepared to collaborate with your internal IT staff, third-party vendors, and other knowledgeable parties to expedite the process.
We adhere to stringent risk management practices and begin with a thorough analysis of your existing system, considering technical, business, and financial factors. Prior to initiating any project, we develop a detailed feasibility study report that includes estimated gains and risk assessments to help you make an informed decision about the legacy app's future. Furthermore, our software engineers divide legacy applications into multiple independent modules to make software modernization as transparent and manageable as possible, allowing for swift and incremental changes.
By conducting rigorous testing and continuous monitoring of the updated app modules, we ensure they function as expected without disrupting your business operations.
Absolutely. We achieve this by dividing applications into several independent, loosely-coupled components (e.g., microservices) for rapid and incremental change implementation.
Absolutely. Technobd Limited encourages collaboration between our team and your in-house IT team to ensure seamless communication and knowledge transfer throughout the modernization process.
Our team at Technobd Limited aims to minimize disruptions to your daily operations by planning and executing the modernization process in a phased manner, ensuring a smooth transition with little to no impact on your business activities.
Technobd Limited offers customized modernization solutions tailored to your unique requirements. Whether you want to modernize only a specific component or the entire application, our team will work with you to develop a modernization strategy that meets your needs.
At Technobd Limited, we prioritize data security throughout the modernization process. We implement strict security measures, such as data encryption and access controls, to protect your data during the transition.
The duration of the modernization process depends on the size, complexity, and specific requirements of your application. Our team at Technobd Limited will provide a detailed project timeline and milestones during the initial consultation and planning phase.
