Your customers log in every day.
Nobody has priced what happens if they can't.

Relying on dated, inefficient or unsupported systems for business-critical operations exposes organisations to significant risks, potentially resulting in costly failures.

We assess the systems others are reluctant to touch, identifying:

  • How they work.
  • Where they’re vulnerable.
  • What it would take to make them reliable.

…£3,500, fixed.

Unsure whether your systems need attention?

Darren, our CTO, can take an initial look at no cost and give you an honest assessment of whether further investigation is worthwhile.

Does this sound like your business?

01

Outdated critical comms systems

Your customers, suppliers or trade accounts log into a portal that was built years ago.

02

Legacy systems lacking support

Systems run on technology that's getting harder to support.

03

Software supplier issues

The person who built it has gone, or the supplier has. Changes take weeks, or nobody will make them.

04

Fragile system security

Each new demand is a small risk nobody has priced: a customer's security questionnaire, a browser update, a supplier going quiet.

05

Trouble scoping updates

You cannot plan a replacement because nobody has told you what you have.

Who is this for?

Your business depends on ageing technology

You’re a business owner, finance director or operations manager. Keeping the system running is your responsibility, but understanding its technical complexities isn’t your expertise.

You need to know how reliable it is, where the risks lie and what your options are.

You’re responsible for a system you don’t fully understand

You have a portal, an ordering system or a customer app that the business depends on every day. Customers, suppliers or trade accounts log into it. Orders, bookings or jobs go through it.

It was built a while ago, by someone who is no longer around to explain it. It works, mostly. Nobody wants to be the one who changes it.

Classic ASP, .NET, PHP, Java, SQL Server, Access, bespoke or half-abandoned: we have seen most of it.

05

A Report You Can Act On

A walkthrough of our findings with your team, plus a report that’s yours to keep, with no obligation to proceed.

Where we have done this before…

Kingfisher

Kingfisher's supplier platform was outdated and nobody wanted to touch it. We rebuilt it, and have run it for seven years since.

Medicolegal Partners

A medico-legal reporting firm whose case system every report depends on. We took it over, kept it running, and built the court-format reporting on top.

Southern Water

An audit of eight customer journeys that priced the savings before anything was built. We measure before we build.

What it costs

Legacy system review:£3,500, fixed fee.

What happens next?

If you go straight to the review, you start at step 2.

Step 1

A free outside look, then twenty minutes

Darren, our CTO, looks at what is public-facing. No access needed. Then twenty minutes on the phone and a straight answer on whether it's worth a proper look. Sometimes it is not.

Step 2

The review, if it is worth it

£3,500 fixed, a one-page statement of work and an agreed start date. Two to three weeks. About half a day of your team's time, plus access to the system.

Access is read-only where possible, under NDA if you want one. Nothing leaves your environment.

Step 3

The report and a read-through

With your team. Yours to keep.

After the review, three things can happen

01

You keep and contain the system, with the risks named and a plan for the day it fails. With your own people or ours.

02

You replace it in phases, fixed price per phase, starting with the piece that matters most. We can quote that from the report.

03

You take the report elsewhere. It is yours, written so anyone could act on it.
