Legacy System Overhaul
Modernise old systems without the big-bang risk
Some systems are too important to switch off and too awkward to keep using as they are. We help you add on top of them, or replace them, one step at a time.
Our approach
Two routes, chosen case by case
1. Build on top. A modern front end or dashboard over your existing system, working into it through data reads and writes, imports and integrations. Your staff get a tool that is easier to use, and the old system keeps running underneath.
2. Replace it. Where it makes sense, we move your data and processes to a new system in stages, so the business is never waiting on a single switch-over day.
Every legacy system is different. Some can be reached cleanly, some only partly, and some should simply be retired. We assess yours first and tell you plainly what is possible.
- A usable front end for staff over the system you have
- Reads, writes, imports and integrations into the old system
- Staged migration of data and processes where replacing is right
- An honest view of what can and cannot be done
Process
How we work
Look at the system
We study the system and how your team really uses it day to day.
Recommend a route
We advise whether to layer on top or replace, and why.
Build in stages
Working pieces in turn, with the old system still running throughout.
Hand over and support
We stay involved once your team is relying on it.
Why us
We run on software we built ourselves
TNS 365 runs its own operation on software we built: our own platform, our own mail server and our own inbox. We know what it takes to keep a business running on a system while it is being changed.

Will we have to stop using our current system?
Not for the build-on-top route: the old system keeps running while staff use the new front end. If we replace it, we do it in stages.
Can every legacy system be connected to?
No. Access varies a lot from system to system. We assess it first and tell you plainly what is possible before you commit.
Do you have a standard price list?
No. Each piece of work is scoped on its own once we understand the system.
