A small change takes a long time
No one really knows which parts of the system will be affected.
Legacy systems
PHP systems that keep creating value
Do you have a PHP system your business still needs, but which has become hard to change, maintain or understand? We help you take control of what you have and develop it further – without starting over unnecessarily.
An old PHP system
is not automatically a bad system
A system can be old and still do an important job. Problems arise when every change takes too long, upgrades feel risky or knowledge of the system has been lost.
You don’t necessarily need a new system. First, you need to understand what works, what creates risk and what actually needs to change.
Sound familiar?
Only a few people have the knowledge
Relying on just one developer or supplier to understand the solution leaves you vulnerable.
Upgrading feels risky
The PHP version or framework is old, and no one knows what will stop working if you upgrade.
Manual workarounds emerge
The system can no longer keep up with the business, and people have to find workarounds.
What can be done with an older PHP system?
Understand and document
We get to know the code, the dependencies and how the system is used in your business. The goal is to build a clear picture of what you actually have.
Strengthen and secure
Old PHP versions, frameworks and dependencies can pose risks. We prioritize what needs fixing and make the changes in a sensible order.
Build on your system
If the system is fundamentally sound, we can develop it further to meet the needs of the business, rather than replace things that still do their job.
Modernise step by step
Sometimes parts of the solution need to be upgraded or replaced. We do this step by step to keep risks manageable and the business running in the meantime.
From where things stand to a stable, lasting solution
We do not start by deciding which technology you should use. First, we need to understand the system and what the business needs from it.
Once the current situation is clear, we can prioritise risks and opportunities, make changes step by step and create a solution that can be maintained and developed over time.

A stable solution built to last
A system that can be maintained and developed over time.
Extensive experience with PHP
We work with both custom-built PHP systems and solutions built with frameworks such as Laravel and Symfony. This can involve older PHP applications, databases such as MySQL and MariaDB, integrations with other systems or upgrades between PHP versions.
Technology matters when it comes to getting the work done. But the starting point is always what the system needs to do for the business.
You do not need to know
what the solution is
You don't need to know whether the system should be upgraded, modernised or replaced before you contact us. Tell us what's difficult today, and we'll start there.
