What We Connect

Legacy systems integrated without replacement.

We use every available integration technique to connect your legacy systems to modern platforms, eliminating the manual data transfers that currently bridge the gap.

API Bridge Development

We build custom API bridges that allow modern systems to communicate with legacy platforms that lack native integration capabilities. No replacement required.

Screen Scraping and Data Extraction

Where no API exists, AI-assisted screen scraping extracts data from legacy system interfaces automatically. Data captured and pushed to modern systems in real time.

Data Format Transformation

Legacy systems often use outdated data formats. We build transformation layers that convert data between formats automatically, ensuring compatibility without manual conversion.

Database-Level Integration

Direct database integration for legacy systems where API access is not available. Secure read and write access configured with appropriate permissions and audit logging.

Secure Data Transit

All data moving between legacy and modern systems is encrypted in transit. Integration architecture reviewed for security vulnerabilities before deployment.

Integration Monitoring and Alerting

Continuous monitoring of all integration points. Alerts triggered immediately if a data flow fails or produces unexpected results. Full logging for audit and troubleshooting.

How We Deliver

From legacy assessment to live integration.

01

Legacy System Assessment

We assess the legacy systems involved, documenting their data structures, available interfaces, security constraints, and the integration points required.

02

Integration Architecture Design

We design the integration architecture, selecting the appropriate approach for each system based on what interfaces are available and the data volumes involved.

03

Security and Access Review

We review the security implications of the integration and work with your IT team to establish the minimum necessary access permissions for the integration layer.

04

Integration Build and Testing

The integration is built and tested in a non-production environment first. Data flows are validated against expected outputs before any connection to live systems.

05

Parallel Run Validation

The integration runs in parallel with existing manual processes for an agreed period. We compare outputs and resolve any discrepancies before the manual process is retired.

06

Live Monitoring and Support

Post go-live monitoring of all integration points with alerting configured. Ongoing support for any issues and adaptation as the legacy system or connected platforms change.

Real Results

Legacy integration for UK businesses.

Manufacturing ERP Integration

A UK manufacturer ran a 20-year-old ERP system with no API and no plans to replace it. Their modern CRM and e-commerce platform could not communicate with it, requiring daily manual data transfers.

Database-level integration built between legacy ERP and modern platforms. Daily manual data transfer eliminated. Order data now flows automatically in under 5 minutes. Zero data entry errors since go-live.

Housing Association Legacy System

A housing association used a legacy property management system from 2003 with no integration capabilities. Staff re-keyed tenant data into three other systems daily, taking 3 hours per day.

Screen scraping integration built to extract data from the legacy system automatically. Daily re-keying eliminated. 3 hours of daily admin saved. Legacy system retained without costly replacement.

Financial Services Data Migration

A financial services firm needed to migrate 15 years of client data from a legacy system to a modern platform while keeping the legacy system running for regulatory reference purposes.

Automated data migration with transformation layer handling format differences. Migration completed in 6 weeks. Legacy system retained as read-only archive. Zero data loss confirmed by reconciliation.
