Start the Shift from Legacy Maintenance to Strategic Growth
Legacy systems weren’t built for the speed, scale, or intelligence today’s businesses require. At Improving, we modernize critical applications by re-architecting them for cloud, performance, and extensibility. Whether you're decomposing a monolith, upgrading a legacy stack, or enabling new capabilities like AI, we help you rebuild with purpose, faster, cleaner, and ready for what's next.
Modular Architecture
We decouple monolithic systems into modular components using service-oriented and event-driven design principles.
Modern Tech Stack
We upgrade outdated frameworks and languages to secure, supported technologies built for long-term reliability.
Cloud-Native Architecture
We replatform legacy systems to cloud-native environments with autoscaling, load balancing, and improved resilience.
DevOps Integration/Automation
We implement CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and observability to reduce manual effort and accelerate delivery.
Our Application Modernization Services
We help organizations modernize mission-critical systems through a combination of architectural redesign, replatforming, and forward-compatible development practices. From legacy remediation to full-stack transformation, our teams deliver solutions that reduce technical debt, accelerate feature delivery, and support emerging use cases like AI and automation.
Architecture & Refactoring
Redesign legacy systems into modular, maintainable components using domain-driven design and scalable patterns like microservices and event sourcing.
Cloud Migration & Replatforming
Move legacy applications to modern cloud environments using containerization, workload automation, and platform-native services.
Tech Stack Modernization
Upgrade aging frameworks, languages, and databases to secure, well-supported technologies optimized for performance and scalability.
DevOps & Automation
Introduce CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and automated testing to reduce manual processes and accelerate release cycles.
UX Modernization
Transform outdated user interfaces with responsive, accessible, and mobile-ready front ends built on modern JavaScript frameworks.
System Integration
Streamline communication across internal systems and external APIs through modern integration patterns, message brokers, and service gateways.
How We Use AI as a Core Modernization Strategy
Artificial Intelligence is more than a feature—it’s a catalyst for modernization. At Improving, we integrate AI across the modernization lifecycle to drive speed, intelligence, and automation. From analyzing legacy systems and automating refactoring to embedding intelligent workflows, we apply AI to help organizations move faster, reduce risk, and build smarter systems from the start.
Discover Improving's Code Explorer
Code Explorer is a proprietary AI-powered service accelerator designed by Improving to help organizations rapidly analyze complex codebases, document critical systems, and unlock modernization opportunities. Built on advanced large language models and knowledge graph techniques, it transforms legacy systems from technical debt into structured, actionable insight. So, whether you're planning a migration, addressing maintainability, or onboarding new teams, Code Explorer lays the foundation for continuous improvement.

How We Modernize Complex Systems in Practice
Modernization isn’t one-size-fits-all. Our delivery teams apply proven, repeatable approaches to solve the most common legacy challenges, from monolithic architecture to outdated code, UI, and deployment processes. These playbook examples reflect how we bring structure, clarity, and scalability to complex transformation efforts.
Breaking Down Legacy Systems into Modular Services
We apply domain-driven design, service boundaries, and event-driven triggers to incrementally extract functionality from legacy systems.
Approach Highlights:
Domain modeling & mapping
Strangler pattern routing
Decoupled event messaging
Live transition validation

Real Impact from Legacy to Modern
We’ve helped organizations across numerous industries modernize aging systems into scalable, maintainable, and intelligent platforms. These before-and-after transformations highlight the tangible impact of our modernization efforts, from performance gains and cost savings to improved developer velocity and AI integration.
Modernizing Web Applications for Resilience and Scalability
Minnesota Public Radio partnered with Improving to modernize its digital infrastructure by migrating key public and internal applications to AWS. The new cloud environment, built on EKS, RDS, and Terraform, improved scalability, reduced costs, and streamlined disaster recovery.
A Web Application to Modernize Processes
Boys Town National Research Hospital worked with Improving to replace a legacy C++ system with a modern web application for grants and research management. The new platform streamlined operations, enabled remote access, and established a sustainable DevOps foundation.
A Better Cloud Platform with Kubernetes
SPS Commerce partnered with Improving to implement Kubernetes, streamline their deployment process, and train internal teams on DevOps best practices. The new platform enhanced flexibility, reduced cycle times, and enabled secure, scalable application delivery across cloud environments.
Modernizing Financial Planning with SAP Analytics Cloud
Improving helped NYPA replace legacy systems with SAP Analytics Cloud, enabling automation, real-time analytics, and accurate forecasting. The solution improved reporting, collaboration, and supported NYPA’s goal of becoming the world’s first fully digital utility.
