Modernization playbook

A structured way to evolve mission-critical systems.

We work with legacy ERP, custom-built core systems and complex integration landscapes that your business depends on every day. The goal: lower operational risk, higher stability and room for future change — without rewriting everything from scratch.

Legacy ERP · Production IT · Integrations

Typically 4–8 weeks to first concrete roadmap.

PROCESS

Modernization in five focused steps

M1 — Discover M2 — Prioritize M3 — Design M4 — Execute M5 — Evolve

We keep a consistent structure across engagements. Each step is small enough to be safe, and concrete enough to meaningfully change how your systems behave in production.

M1 — Discover
Current state & failure modes
Technical and operational mapping of your current landscape: architecture, critical flows, dependencies, incidents and how failures propagate through the business.
M2 — Prioritize
Risk, value, constraints
We identify where modernization brings the highest impact — under real constraints such as production schedules, team capacity and existing vendor contracts.
M3 — design
Target architecture & path
A pragmatic target picture: what stays, what changes, what gets isolated — and the safest order to deliver each part without destabilizing operations.
M4 — execute
Incremental delivery in production
Small, reversible changes deployed with clear rollback paths and meaningful monitoring — always aligned with operational windows and business impact.
M5 — evolve
Learning & next iterations
We review impact, update the roadmap, adjust priorities and define the next modernization slice with less risk than the one before.
SCOPE

What we modernize — and what we design around

Modernization only works when it respects how your business actually operates. We focus on the narrow slice of software that carries operational impact — and the constraints that come with working in live production environments.

Typical systems we work on

Legacy ERP: long-lived, heavily customized instances containing years of business logic.

Production IT: MES / MOM / APS layers coordinating manufacturing, planning and logistics.

Integration hubs: middleware, queues, scripts and API glue between key systems.

Customer & partner portals: frontends attached to legacy backends and brittle integrations.


Constraints we explicitly design for

Limited or no downtime in production plants.
Coexistence with existing vendors and internal teams.
Regulatory and audit requirements around core systems.
Data migration risk and multi-year transition periods.

ENGAGEMENT

How a modernization engagement with Codigmatic looks

We keep the commercial model as simple as the technical one. Every engagement starts with a bounded assessment and expands only when it makes sense — with senior engineers involved from day one.
