What would it cost to sort your legacy system out?
For the system that runs the business but nobody dares touch. Answer a few questions about the state it is in and you get a costed plan: what it takes to get it under control, what ongoing support looks like, and what modernising it gradually would cost against rebuilding it. About two minutes, and nobody will judge the answers.
Step 1 of 5
No sign-up needed
What does the system do?
Its main job, in your words. Pick the closest.
Which of these sound familiar?
Pick everything that applies. Every one of these is common, every one is fixable, and the more you tick the more useful your plan gets.
What do you actually hold?
This is where takeovers get harder or easier. Answer as things stand today, not as they should be.
How big is it?
Rough answers are fine. This scales the modernisation work more than anything else.
Count the big pieces: jobs, quoting, stock, invoicing, reporting, a customer login, and so on.
What outcome are you after?
There is no wrong answer, and the estimate covers all of them. This just decides what we put front and centre.
Your plan
Get it under control
Ongoing support
Modernisation
A guide, not a quote. More than most, in fact.
Nobody can price an unseen codebase precisely, and you should be wary of anyone who claims to. These figures come from your answers and our day rate, and the first phase exists partly to replace them with firm ones: once the audit has been through the code, the data and the hosting, the rest of the plan gets priced properly. Every legacy system hides at least one surprise. The plan is built so the surprises turn up early, while they are cheap.
What the first phase includes
Built from what you told us about the state of the system.
Worth knowing
Straight answers to the worries that usually come with a system in this state.
Free, 30 minutes, no obligation
Talk it through with the engineer who would take it on
Thirty minutes on a call turns this into a plan you can budget against. We will have read your answers before we ring, and we will not judge the state of anything. We have seen far worse than yours.

Leaning towards a full rebuild? The software cost calculator prices one properly. And for the reasoning behind these numbers, read what legacy modernisation costs.
