Legacy Rebuild
Technology is growing faster, and new tools, frameworks, and features are appearing at an unbelievable pace to match. It happens that an application you’ve spent years of time and money developing is not meeting your business needs anymore. That’s why deciding to rebuild your legacy software throughout the product development process can become an option.
Reasons to rebuild your product
Some possible reasons to rebuild legacy software could be:
- Outdated software is difficult to update and costs too much to maintain.
- UX patterns have expended and effected older software.
- Mobile compatibility may not have been included when the original code was written.
- The original build doesn’t have enough accessibility, resulting in software that alienates the users and makes the company exposed to litigation.
- Feature inclusions have changed the original vision of the product.
- The new markets affect current users who are getting tired of a slow application update.
- The company’s rates are decreasing as potential clients are looking for more modern solutions.
Factors to consider before
rebuilding your software
Before rebuilding your software with the latest technology, it’s essential to perform an audit to give you an idea of the cost and time commitment needed.
Here, you should consider the following factors:

- Expenditure on hardware hosting
- Cost for developers to support software
- Licensing fees

Main steps of the legacy rebuild
- Identify the gaps
Check how big the gaps between the tasks your system can complete vs what task it should complete to reach your business goals. - Consider your current capacity
(real-time capabilities, processing speed, ability to support new platforms, etc.). Understand the weak points and choose the strategy, or find a vendor who will analyze your business and help with the plan. Note, that legacy systems often have non-existent, no testing, outdated frameworks, and inconsistent code. - Test your hypotheses
When you came up with the rebuild plan, test your hypotheses. It can be tempting to rebuild the whole system from the scratch, but it might require a substantial upfront investment. - Decide between a partial and a complete rebuild
UppLabs can analyze your system and software and help you with this decision. It could make sense to consider only modernizing the parts that bring the most value to your business. Also, reconsider the definition of MVP. - Create the product rebuild roadmap
If there are dramatic changes planned in the working software, make sure users will not be affected. - Run the sales team through the ready product roadmap
- Maintain the success strategy
Hiring an extended team for your legacy rebuild
Thanks to this model, while working on your project, UppLabs specialists can turn to be yours.
The extended team model works perfectly well for such kinds of projects:
- Big multi-part projects that require some additional technologies;
- Smaller side projects that the company doesn’t want to give to the in-house team because they are involving in the main business process;
- Current projects that need additional resources because of their expenditure.
Among the most essential advantages of hiring an extended team are:
- The whole teamwork is easier to synchronize;
- The workflow within the entire team is more clear and transparent;
- Mutual cooperation creates equal responsibilities;
- The development capacity can be easily scaled;
- It’s a fast way to form a team. All specialists are ready and processes are in place.
