Application modernization · Net Solutions on Clutch

Modernize critical software without betting the business on a big-bang rewrite

When releases slow, integrations break and engineers become afraid to touch critical areas, technical debt has become operating risk. We modernize in phases so the business keeps running. We re-architect legacy code, untangle brittle integrations, and move workloads to the cloud incrementally, each phase shipped safely alongside the running system, so releases speed up without a risky big-bang rewrite.

10,000+ families stayed live while the platform was rebuilt underneath them.

EdPlace's legacy platform could no longer accommodate new subjects, richer assessments, or the mobile experience customers expected, but taking it offline was not an option. The new platform was built alongside the live system and cut over in controlled stages.

What brings buyers to us

Signs the application has become a business constraint

01

Releases keep getting slower

Small changes need disproportionate regression cycles, coordination, and operational caution.

02

Too much knowledge sits with too few people

When only a handful of engineers understand the system, technical debt becomes operating risk.

03

Data is trapped inside the system

Analytics, automation and AI initiatives keep running into the same access and integration limitations.

04

The team is afraid to touch critical areas

When avoiding change becomes the engineering strategy, modernization is overdue.

The modernization decision

The application can take six different paths

Not every legacy application should be rebuilt. The business case should determine how much changes, and how quickly.

RetainIt works, and changing it is not worth the disruption.
RehostInfrastructure is the constraint; move the workload.
RefactorThe architecture holds; specific areas block change.
RearchitectThe structure now fights how the business operates.
RebuildAdapting the old system costs more than a new foundation.
ReplaceA commercial platform now does the job more economically.

The commerce core changed while catalog complexity kept working

A 400K-SKU automotive catalog, vehicle-fitment data, inventory feeds and search continued operating as the architecture moved to Adobe Commerce Cloud with a headless React storefront, Contentful and Akeneo.

The modernization changed the architecture without simplifying away the requirements that made the legacy platform complex in the first place.

What we modernize

Modernization across architecture, data, and delivery

Application architecture and legacy code

Assessment, decomposition, refactoring, and progressive replacement where coupled systems make change slow or risky.

APIs, integrations, and data

Cleaner boundaries, accessible data, and rehearsed migration so systems evolve without breaking each other.

Cloud, DevOps, and delivery

Infrastructure change where it creates operating benefit, plus CI/CD, testing, and observability for safer releases.

AI-ready foundations

Clean APIs and accessible data that remove the same constraints many future AI initiatives will otherwise expose.

Assess. Prioritize. Modernize. Retire.

The whole system rarely needs to change at once. The sequence should reduce business risk while producing working outcomes early.

01
Assess before prescribingFind where the current architecture is costing the business enough to justify change.
02
Prioritize by value and riskChoose which areas need to change now, and which can remain.
03
Modernize incrementallyTurn one large cutover risk into a series of controlled changes.
04
Transition and decommissionVerify data, support teams and retire legacy deliberately.

Is Net Solutions the right fit?

Net Solutions is typically a good fit when the application is important enough that migration risk, data integrity, architecture and long-term ownership matter, and switching it off is not an option. We can own delivery or work alongside your existing engineering team.

Common questions

Does modernization mean rebuilding everything?

No. It can mean refactoring components, rearchitecting parts of the system, progressive replacement or a complete rebuild, depending on what remains viable.

Can you modernize a platform without taking it offline?

Yes, where the architecture allows it. EdPlace was rebuilt alongside the live system with zero downtime.

Can you take over a legacy application your team did not build?

Yes. We first establish knowledge of the architecture, code, data, and operations, rather than trusting documentation to be complete.

Can modernization help us adopt AI?

Often. Many AI projects expose the same constraints: inaccessible data, weak APIs, and tightly coupled systems. Modernization can remove them.

How long does it take?

It depends on how much must change. Larger programs are phased, so the business sees working outcomes early.
