INITIAL ENGAGEMENT / LEGACY SYSTEMS
Legacy Health Check
Understand where an established application creates avoidable delivery, maintenance or operational risk — before considering a rewrite.
WHO THIS IS FOR
For teams whose essential software still delivers value but has become hard to change or support.
01 / COMMON SIGNALS
Where to begin looking
- Releases depend on undocumented steps or individuals
- Unsupported components are becoming a business concern
- An upgrade or integration keeps getting postponed
- Incidents cross application, database and server boundaries
02 / POSSIBLE DELIVERABLES
Define the evidence
- Scope and system-boundary summary
- Evidence requests and initial risk register
- Candidate options: stabilize, upgrade, isolate or incrementally replace
- Proposed next steps and criteria for a paid assessment
03 / ENGAGEMENT MODEL
Scope before access
An initial conversation establishes fit; any technical review requires a scoped agreement, written authorization and appropriate access controls.
This is not an automated security scan or a promise to eliminate technical debt. Recommendations depend on evidence actually supplied and verified.
