Our Core Legacy Modernization Expertise

Legacy Migration Assessments

Legacy Migration Assessments

We thoroughly analyze legacy environments including code, data, infrastructure, dependencies etc. to devise tailored migration strategies focused specifically on transitioning systems to Ruby on Rails.

Incremental Migration

Incremental Migration

We incrementally migrate legacy code written in Java, .NET, and COBOL over Ruby on Rails in a low-risk. We migrate one module at a time while preserving all business logic, data structures, and functionality.

Data Migration

Data Migration

We develop custom ETL processes to migrate legacy data to optimized schemas in RoR databases without any loss or downtime. Our experts use ETL tools like ActiveRecord Import for smooth data migration.

Cloud & Infrastructure Migration

Cloud & Infrastructure Migration

We can also assist with migrating your legacy infrastructure over to optimized, auto-scaling cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure as part of your modernization initiative.

Testing & Launch

Ruby on Rails App Modernization

We help upgrade legacy as well as existing Ruby on Rails applications to current architectures leveraging the latest frameworks and techniques for optimal performance, scalability, and security.

Post-Launch Support

Post-launch Support

Even after migrating legacy systems over to RoR, we provide ongoing maintenance, support, upgrades and sunsetting services focused on Ruby on Rails stability. Contact us anytime for assistance.

Ruby on Rails Migration & Modernization Models

We offer different legacy modernization models aligned to your priorities and constraints focused specifically on Ruby on Rails.

Phased Migration

Phased Migration

With phased migration, we transition legacy application functionality one module or component at a time over to the new RoR system. This reduces risk and lets you leverage RoR incrementally.

Parallel Operations

Parallel Operations

In some cases, running the legacy and RoR applications in parallel makes sense during the transition period to Ruby on Rails. This ensures continuity while allowing testing before switchover.

Big Bang Migration

Big Bang Migration

After thorough preparation, the legacy system undergoes a full switch to Ruby on Rails. This method entails a complete transition to RoR on a set cutover date, ensuring a planned changeover.

Application Replatforming

Application Replatforming

The legacy application is efficiently recreated on RoR infrastructure, preserving key features and functionalities. This method lifts and shifts the app, harnessing RoR’s modern advantages.

Application Reengineering

Application Reengineering

The legacy app is swiftly and seamlessly moved to modern RoR infrastructure, maintaining core original features. We lift and shift, leveraging RoR’s robustness while retaining original functionality.

Hybrid Migration

Hybrid Migration

Combining the phased and big bang methods, we transition your modules at set incremental milestones. We ensure integration, harnessing RoR’s full potential for complex applications.

Customized Legacy Modernization Approach

Every legacy modernization project has unique environments, constraints, and dependencies that must be assessed. Our experts analyze your specific legacy requirements to determine the optimal custom migration and modernization approach. We aim to balance priorities, risks, timelines, and costs to create a tailored strategy that smoothly transition your systems over RoR with minimal disruption. Reach out to our specialists to start planning your custom modernization journey to Ruby on Rails.

Clients Love Space-O Technologies

Space-O enabled us to successfully migrate our legacy EMS management solution from VB6 to a cutting-edge Ruby on Rails architecture. The application empowers EMS organizations with configurable data collection, real-time medical collaboration, and robust billing capabilities. Space-O’s phased migration approach allowed incremental transition of our software’s modules from VB6 to RoR seamlessly without disruption. Their RoR experts understood our complex workflows and re-architected them optimally on Ruby while preserving legacy data integrity. We are very happy with our modernized application which is now faster, more scalable, and easier to enhance thanks to Space-O’s legacy migration expertise.
