Skill Six LEGACY SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Legacy Ain’t a Dirty Word
“Legacy” gets a bad rap in tech circles. People act like it’s some shameful relic, when really, it’s just proof that your software actually lasted—which is more than most can say. Sure, building on someone else’s code (who’s probably long gone and never documented a damn thing) isn’t easy. And no, it probably doesn’t follow today’s trendy, temporary “best practices.” But here’s the thing: your system survived. That’s not a bug; it’s a feature.

Old Code, Real Value
Legacy software is like Latin. Technically “dead,” sure. But still in production, running reliably across countless systems (and minds), conveying precise meaning in a way modern stacks sometimes just… can’t. Your platform might feel clunky or ancient, but it’s packed with real-world value, hard-earned logic, and a history worth respecting.

Modernize Your Legacy
That’s where we come in. WebVolta specializes in legacy system modernization—taking that reliable-but-rusty platform and giving it a second wind. Whether you need legacy application support, a full-stack logic audit, dependency and security upgrades, or a complete legacy code migration into a new architecture, we’ve got the tools and the brains to get it done right. We’ll modernize your tech without bulldozing the good stuff, and yes, we’ll challenge a few assumptions along the way.

- Full-stack logic audits and system evaluations
- Legacy code migration to modern architecture
Tame the Beast
We also offer software audits and technical debt remediation for teams that are stuck maintaining a beast they don’t fully understand. We’ll help you see what’s worth saving, what’s quietly on fire, and what can be optimized for today’s business goals (not the goals you had in 2007).
Services Overview
- Software audits to identify risks and optimization opportunities
Your legacy software still speaks. Let’s help it say something smart, scalable, and future-proof.
Frequently Asked
QUESTIONS
What counts as legacy software?
Anything your team still relies on that is difficult to change—older frameworks, end-of-life libraries, fragile code, or systems no one wants to touch.
How do you start a modernization project?
We begin with an audit: architecture, dependencies, risks, and quick wins. You get a phased roadmap that stabilizes first, then upgrades with low risk.
Will there be downtime?
We plan cutovers and feature flags to minimize disruption. Most work happens in branches or parallel stacks with rollback options.
Do you support older stacks?
Yes. We routinely handle older .NET/Java, PHP, Ruby, Python, and JavaScript frameworks, plus classic SQL servers—then lift them forward safely.
Do you work beyond Minnesota?
Yes. While we serve Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Rochester, Bloomington, and Duluth, we partner with clients across the United States.
