Software Modernization Services
Software modernization is a process of updating legacy systems to make sure that their code, architecture, and infrastructure meet current performance, security, and scalability standards.
Belitsoft's software modernization services are planned around step-by-step or incremental delivery to guarantee your business operations stay online during modernization and your budgets never exceed the agreed scope.
Rely on our software modernization services to speed up your product delivery and stop your legacy systems from reducing your engineering capacity, currently buried in maintenance.
Software modernization replaces outdated user interfaces, re-architects services with strong dependencies or rigidly connected components, and migrates databases so they do not slow your software releases and reduce infrastructure costs.
Software modernization services provided by Belitsoft offer modernization engineers experienced in multiple stacks.
They embed into your own team to perform re-platforming monoliths, cloud migrations, API integrations, and legacy codebase updates, helping you avoid the overhead of permanent full-time hires.
Why Modernize Legacy Applications
Looking for vendors that guarantee zero-downtime cutovers when deprecating homegrown integrations and best IT service partners for de-risked application modernization? We suggest Belitsoft, a company in legacy modernization that offers the best support when issues arise during transformation projects.
your current proprietary on-premises software developed in-house or purchased years ago is:
slowing business processes and dragging down operational efficiency with frequent performance issues and rising support costs
incompatible with modern requirements due to an outdated tech stack and lacking features like multilingual support or mobile responsiveness
accumulating technical debt, making updates and maintenance increasingly difficult
non-compliant with corporate policies and procedures (user privacy, security, accessibility, etc.)
your company is forced to utilize different systems and spreadsheets, resulting in:
a time-consuming manual multiple-step work process prone to human errors
a headache collecting, managing, and deciphering the data from disparate sources
holding back business operations from advancing to the next level as your numbers are growing each year
the absence of ownership of adaptable all-in-one software with the opportunity to sell it to other organizations

Best Practices for Application Modernization Success
Application modernization requires enterprises to change their approach. Here are some recommended best practices for creating a framework to modernize mainframe applications.
Break up monoliths. To develop a mainframe application modernization framework, create a detailed roadmap for organizational structure, servers, network configurations, storage configurations, and application deployment on servers. Model networking between components for a virtualized application environment, applying tools such as open source, containers, and cloud APIs, and implement scalability.
Untether applications and infrastructure. Separate enterprise applications from data sources, network configurations, and security settings. This enables application components to run on any infrastructure without code changes. It ensures complete portability and eliminates vendor lock-in.
Lower cost of components. Applications go through different environments, versions, and deployments throughout their lifecycle in the organization. Splitting an application into its core components relieves the new versions design of the application as required. This speeds up the integration testing, migration, performance testing, and planning processes, and proceeds to significant time savings and cost efficiency.
Build-in application security. Plan for security throughout the application lifecycle, from design to development and application modernization. This ensures applications remain secure regardless of the infrastructure they are deployed in.
Manage with a modular view. Take a modular approach to application modernization, allowing for individual handling and testing of application components in a virtualized environment. This approach promotes independence from infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Without a discovery audit, any app modernization vendor can provide only a rough preliminary estimation based on your ideas and examples of similar projects.
It’s not accurate because Optimistic and Pessimistic calculations will differ by 100% and more, where Pessimistic is about estimation of complex unique functions, never developed before.
After the discovery audit, you will receive a detailed price range. We can then proceed on either a Fixed Price basis, with a 100% guarantee to stay within budget, or on a Time & Material basis, depending on your needs.
We use a Communication plan agreed with you.
The plan defines Project Roles - product owners from your side and project manager, business analyst, and technical lead from our side.
It also specifies overlapping hours and frequency of communication by email and through live meetings (demo meetings or meetings for discussion of the current project issues: status, new requirements, etc.).
We do Alpha testing during the development stage and Beta testing after the development with real users.
To start testing, we create a Test Plan and Product Acceptance Plan.
Test plan is modifying along with new features development.
Product Acceptance Plan is the main document for us to deliver you a workable solution.
We propose to use Git, GitLab or Bitbucket. We prefer to use Git but there isn't much difference between GitLab and Bitbucket.
We create and update the Software Requirement Specification (contains all planned and developed project features), Test Plan, and Product Acceptance Plan.
If needed, we create a User Manual for administrators and users of your software.
We sign an SLA to describe the process, including the duration, time for implementing enhancements of the software, and other nuances of our responsibilities in your particular situation.
Legacy applications refer to core programs written many years ago. These applications are the foundation of an organization's IT architecture and have been supporting it for decades. Although these applications are low maintenance and perform well, they quit matching the growing customers' needs. Through application modernization services, it can add new features without affecting the vital existing backend processes for the business. This modernization aims to bridge the gap between legacy systems and new technologies to enable innovation and success in the digital marketplace. Businesses can extract new value from their core IT investments with this process.
Application modernization is updating legacy applications by modernizing their platform infrastructure, internal architecture, and/or new functionality. The benefits of application modernization include faster delivery of new features, the ability to expose existing application functionality via API to other services, and the re-platforming of legacy applications from on-premises to the cloud for better performance and scalability.
You are likely to need application modernization services in case you’ve been using the following apps and data for years without doing significant improvements or upgrades:
- Apps developed with .NET framework
- Web apps running on Linux
- Java-based apps
- SAP applications
- SQL databases
Application modernization is a safer option for enterprises than replacing their original applications with off-the-shelf alternatives that could compromise important data and workflows. This approach fails and creates financial losses for enterprises. A gradual modernization process can yield better returns on investment without disrupting operations. It is a crucial strategic business decision.
For many enterprises, application modernization services are the most practical approach to taking advantage of newer software platforms, tools, architectures, libraries, new security practices, virtualization, IoT, scalability requirements, and advancements in AI.
Legacy applications are often monolithic, which makes them difficult and expensive to update and scale. Modernizing a legacy software to a microservice's architecture can help address these challenges.
Instead of starting from scratch, organizations can modernize their existing apps. Moving their apps to the cloud in a "lift and shift" migration allows them to break modernization into stages and benefit immediately from basic cloud computing features. They can then proceed with more advanced modernization techniques, such as rebuilding parts of their legacy applications to incorporate advanced capabilities or best practices.
- Cloud computing. Moving traditional applications to run on modern cloud environments: public, private, and hybrid clouds. Public cloud platforms refer to cloud services that are accessible over the internet and managed by third-party providers. Private clouds are cloud environments that are dedicated to a single organization and hosted either on-premises or by a third-party provider. Hybrid clouds refer to environments that combine elements of both public and private clouds, often integrated with on-premises environments.
- Containers. A modern approach to packaging, deploying, and running applications and workloads in cloud environments. This technique benefits enhanced scalability, portability, and operational efficiency, which are especially well-suited for cloud infrastructure, along with multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments. The containers streamline deployment and management through encapsulating applications in self-contained units to contribute seamless integration and easier scaling of resources.
- Microservices. An architectural approach that involves breaking down a complex system into smaller, more manageable parts that can operate autonomously while communicating with one another via application programming interfaces (APIs). By reducing dependencies between components, microservices enable teams to make updates and changes more quickly and efficiently.
- Automation. This approach involves automating many of the operational tasks associated with containers, such as deployment, scaling, and networking. With automation and orchestration tools, developers can automate many routine tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming and error-prone. It allows them to focus on building and improving legacy apps and to ensure greater consistency, scalability, and reliability across development, testing, and production environments.
- API. These are tools to facilitate the connection and communication between legacy applications, devices, and data across an organization's IT infrastructure. Integration through APIs helps streamline processes and workflows, saves time and increases cost efficiency that would otherwise be lost because of incompatible systems that can't communicate effectively.
- AI and ML. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enhance business processes and get abundant insights from their applications and data through personalization, predictive analytics, automated testing, and other methods.
