Banking chatbots for UK retail banks: Where they reduce support load and where human handoffs still win

Just imagine: it is 11pm on a Sunday. A customer sees an unfamiliar charge on their account – £340 from a retailer they have never heard of. They open the bank’s app, tap the chat icon, and start typing. The chatbot responds within seconds. It asks them to choose from a menu. They do. It […]

How UK financial services firms can pilot AI without slowing compliance reviews

Best practices for AI refactoring legacy code

Many teams still depend on code written years ago, often by developers who have already left the company. These systems still run daily operations, but the code is hard to follow, risky to change, and rarely documented well. The scale of the issue is hard to ignore. For example, 95% of ATM transactions still rely […]

What is Legacy Modernization?

As systems age, they tend to lose reliability, introducing errors, vulnerabilities, and operational inefficiencies that can restrain public-sector organizations from achieving their core missions. To stay effective, organizations must rethink how new solutions fit into their existing technology stack.

What are the most common legacy modernization techniques?

Legacy systems continue to support core operations, but they come with a steep price. According to Gartner, companies are set to allocate around 40% of their IT budgets this year to managing technical debt, much of it tied to outdated applications. In some organizations, particularly across the public sector, up to 80% of IT spending is […]

Top legacy modernization challenges

53% of organizations say their IT teams are spending more and more time managing technology and infrastructure, according to an Institute of Asset Management report.

On prem to AWS migration: Migrating a 4M LOC Legacy Java

In early 2024, we started a migration project that seemed simple at first: move a B2B SaaS platform from on-premise servers to AWS. The client handled compliance workflows and document processing for large European customers. The business case made sense, but the actual work was much more complicated.

Modernizing a 300,000-line ERP system: from legacy to modern stack

Legacy modernization often stalls at the executive level for one reason: perceived risk. When a core system supports reporting, operations, and revenue workflows, the fear of breaking it outweighs the desire to improve it. Over time, however, that hesitation creates a different kind of exposure, rising maintenance costs, slower change cycles, and growing hiring limitations. […]
