Solutions · Modernization & restart

# Regain control of your platform, and full ownership

Your legacy platform has become a bottleneck. Or the relationship with a restrictive provider has. We take over the existing codebase, modernize the technology and infrastructure, resolve the issues that built up, and transfer the source code and 100% of the IP to you.

## How a restart works with us

From a system that holds you back to a platform you own yourself and that scales again.

* ### We take over the codebase  
We get to know the existing software and adopt maintenance carefully, with time for knowledge transfer.
* ### Modernize to current standards  
Technology and infrastructure back to modern security and framework standards, on scalable infrastructure.
* ### Resolve structural issues  
We clear the debt that has built up, so the platform is maintainable and extendable again.
* ### 100% of the IP to you  
On payment we transfer the source code and 100% of the IP. A clean break from vendor lock-in.

## What it usually takes

A restart touches these building blocks. Dig into what we build.

Case study QCOne

## From an outdated application to a platform they run themselves

01

### The challenge

QCOne ran on an outdated Ruby application that had never been optimized. It was hard to maintain and extend, while their day-to-day operation relied on it completely. They wanted it modernized without bringing their business to a halt.

02

### What we did

We took over the existing codebase. The transition ran without interruption, so QCOne simply kept working. From there we modernized the application and cleared the problems that had built up. What is left is maintainable and easy to extend.

03

### The result

QCOne got back a modern, maintainable application and took the platform fully in-house. Their own team now develops and maintains it themselves.

## A platform that holds you back?

A good conversation is enough to get started. We'll look at the state of your system, what a restart costs and what it returns. No obligation, no pitch deck.
