Legacy Replacement in Solihull
This region industrialised early in software terms too. A great deal of genuinely excellent process knowledge is locked inside systems written decades ago for one business, by someone who has since retired.
Can you replace a legacy system for a business in Solihull?
Yes. GTX Digital migrates businesses in Solihull off unsupported, undocumented or end-of-life software, in stages, without stopping the operation.
- Starts with documenting the existing behaviour, including the undocumented.
- Migrates in stages, with old and new running together and reconciled.
- Treats data migration and validation as a first-class deliverable.
Solihull · West Midlands
Automotive, professional services and business parks
Briefs here split cleanly. Either an operational system for a manufacturing or supply-chain process, or a corporate programme that arrives with a procurement process, a security questionnaire and a group IT function to satisfy first.
Solihull has a different character from the rest of the West Midlands. Alongside major vehicle manufacturing it carries an unusual concentration of corporate offices and professional firms, spread across business parks rather than a traditional town centre.
For this work that lands mainly in Automotive manufacturing, Corporate & professional services and Business park operations.

Where it lands
The Solihull sectors this work suits.
Drawn from what Solihull is actually built on, rather than a list of industries we would accept work from.
-
Automotive manufacturing
Vehicle production and the tier-one supply chain around it, with the traceability and customer-dictated integration that implies.
-
Corporate & professional services
Head-office functions and professional firms with procurement, security review and group reporting attached to every project.
-
Business park operations
Office-based operations across Blythe Valley, Birmingham Business Park and the NEC corridor, often UK functions of larger groups.
How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Solihull.
The full scope, phases and deliverables are on the Legacy Replacement service page. These are the parts that are specific to working here.
-
Mapped before replaced
We establish what the system actually does from its data, its outputs and the people who use it, and write it down. Usually the first time anyone has.
-
Incremental, never big-bang
One bounded piece first, reading from the old system while it still runs. A weekend cutover concentrates all the risk into one weekend.
-
Reconciled, not hoped
Rehearsed migrations with reports proving balances, counts and histories match before anything is switched off.
-
Knowledge out of heads
The business rules and the reasons behind them, documented. That often outlives the project and is the most valuable thing produced.

Questions
Legacy Replacement in Solihull, answered.
The questions businesses in Solihull ask before they commission this work.
What does a legacy assessment cost for a Solihull business?
The assessment is a small fixed-price piece of work, typically a few thousand pounds over two to four weeks, producing a written map of the system, a risk register and costed options. It is deliberately standalone: you can take it to any supplier, including ones who are not us.
