CAPABILITY: SOLUTIONS
If a 20-year-old Access app still runs your business, you're ahead of most. The hard work, capturing exactly how your business operates, is already done. We bring it forward, without making you start from scratch.
THE PROBLEM
Almost every business we work with has one, the spreadsheet, the Access database, the in-house .NET app, that quietly runs a core part of the operation. It works. The team trusts it. But the person who built it retired in 2017, and nobody wants to touch it.
Most providers will tell you to rip it out and start again. That's expensive, disruptive, and risky, and it usually loses the very understanding of your business that made the app valuable in the first place.
A short discovery: what it does, who uses it, what's painful, and what would be a disaster to lose. No jargon. No upselling.
Years of business rules are baked into your old app. We extract them, properly documented, with your team's input, so they survive the move.
Modern stack (.NET, web, mobile, whatever fits). AI helps us move much faster than a traditional rebuild, so the price stays sensible.
Old and new run side-by-side until you're confident. Your team is trained on the new app before the old one is switched off.
Your team keeps using something that already understands your business. No three-month rollout, no retraining everyone from scratch.
No more "what happens if it breaks?" The new app runs on technology we can support for the next decade, on cloud or on your hardware.
Want to add a mobile interface, an API, an AI assistant? Now you can. The legacy app was a dead end. The new one is a starting point.
Old apps often skip MFA, encryption, logging. The new one ships with all of it built in, aligned with the CERT10 baseline.
AI-assisted development is faster, and the savings come back to you. We'll quote fixed-price wherever scope allows.
Once we've built it, we maintain it as part of your ACIT relationship. No separate vendor to manage.
Legacy modernisation lives in the back-of-house layer of our Connected Technology Model, the systems that make your team faster. It works best when paired with our infrastructure and security capabilities, so your modernised app is properly hosted, backed up and protected.

See manufacturing →Time, billing, matter and case management built in-house years ago.
See pro services →Patient flow, billing exports, equipment registers running on legacy.
See healthcare →Internal calculators, reconciliations and reporting tools.
See financial →Job costing, plant tracking, certifications buried in old systems.
See construction →Asset libraries, project trackers and approval tools that grew up around old plug-ins.

Anthony Harper were manually processing retirement village settlements: slow, repetitive, hard to scale. We rebuilt the workflow as a platform their team could use, then productised it so they now license the software to retirement villages directly. A spreadsheet became a business.
