Legacy Replacement in Wellingborough

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.

Wellingborough · Northamptonshire

Distribution and manufacturing on the A45

Mid-sized operations here usually have good process knowledge and no internal IT. The build has to be something their own team can operate, not something that needs a developer on call.

Wellingborough sits on the A45 between Northampton and the A14, with rail freight capability and substantial industrial estates. Distribution dominates, but there is a long engineering and manufacturing tradition underneath it.

For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & engineering, Distribution & logistics and Construction products.

How we work here

What legacy replacement looks like in Wellingborough.

The full scope, phases and deliverables are on the Legacy Replacement service page. These are the parts that are specific to working here.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Reconciled, not hoped

    Rehearsed migrations with reports proving balances, counts and histories match before anything is switched off.

  4. 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.

  5. On site in Wellingborough

    Wellingborough is close to Northampton for us and usually taken in the same trip. Discovery and the sessions that decide a design happen in person; delivery then runs remotely with scheduled reviews, and there is no travel charge inside the Golden Triangle.
