Move legacy .NET, Java and PHP applications to a modern, maintainable platform without stopping the business. Through the Delivery Plan, you get one team, one predictable monthly price and one prioritised backlog. Add mobile, web, backend, AI, data, QA or DevOps work to the same backlog whenever you need it.
Use your plan for application modernization.
Trusted by engineering leaders at ambitious startups, enterprises and global brands.
Goals break down into tasks. Milestones are agreed before work begins. You see which components are modernized, what remains and where risk sits, and the next task starts the moment one ships.
Your backlog can hold any number of requests, but the team delivers them one workstream at a time. A workstream is one managed team working on your highest-priority request until it is live, then starting the next. More requests mean more months, not faster delivery. Work is scoped and delivered within your plan’s capacity. Priorities can change; additional parallel workstreams require more capacity. The same plan covers mobile, web, backend, AI, data, QA and DevOps work, so all of it can share one backlog.
A sample programme. It matches the 2 to 4 weeks an assessment takes, the 2 to 3 weeks for strategy and roadmap, and the 2 to 3 months to the first modernized services. Onboarding starts immediately after checkout, and your delivery owner scopes your own plan with you.
Comprehensive analysis of the existing platform: architecture, codebase, dependencies, technical debt, security vulnerabilities and performance bottlenecks. AI code analysis cuts assessment time by 60%. It ends in a phased roadmap that balances business value with technical feasibility, before any migration work starts.
Monolithic applications decomposed into independently deployable microservices using domain-driven design and bounded contexts: service boundaries identified, API contracts designed, event-driven communication in place, and a phased migration that keeps the system stable.
On-premise applications migrated to AWS, Azure or GCP by lift-and-shift, re-platforming or cloud-native refactoring: cloud readiness assessed, architecture designed, infrastructure-as-code implemented, databases and applications migrated, and cloud-native DevOps practices established.
Systematic reduction of technical debt: AI-assisted code migration to modern languages and frameworks, dependency and framework updates, refactoring prioritised by business impact, and testing coverage that keeps every release safe.
Data preserved through modernization: full backup before migration, schema modernization mapped from legacy to modern structures, automated validation against loss or corruption, incremental migration with rollback, and parallel database operation during the transition.
Legacy integration patterns transformed into API-first architecture with RESTful APIs, GraphQL, event-driven messaging and API gateway patterns: API contracts and versioning, security and rate limiting, and legacy SOAP/XML integrations modernized.

Core costs Was $8,000£6,700R140,000 now $4,500£3,750R79,000/month for one active workstream. Your platform’s scope determines the delivery schedule and total cost. You can use the same subscription for other development priorities.
Best for companies whose monolith cannot scale, whose infrastructure costs are unsustainable, or whose technical debt blocks new work.
Work is scoped and delivered within your plan’s capacity. Priorities can change; additional parallel workstreams require more capacity.

Delivery Plan · Core costs Was $8,000£6,700R140,000 now $4,500£3,750R79,000 a month, excluding VAT or sales tax. That buys one active workstream with a managed modernization team. It is monthly delivery capacity, not a fixed price for a complete programme, so your scope sets the number of months. Platform size, migration strategy, technical debt, data complexity, integrations and continuity requirements drive the scope.
Yes. Delivery Plan · Core covers mobile, web, backend, AI, data, QA and DevOps work as well as application modernization. All of it sits in one prioritised backlog and is delivered within your plan’s capacity, one active workstream at a time. Priorities can change; additional parallel workstreams require more capacity.
Legacy assessment and modernization roadmap, monolith to microservices migration, cloud migration and re-platforming, code and database modernization, API and integration modernization, automated regression testing, cutover and legacy retirement, and one accountable delivery owner. Every plan includes $500 in AI infrastructure catalog credits in your first month. Annual plans also include $10,000 in specialist services: a technical assessment, a delivery roadmap and CI/CD pipeline setup.
You rank the backlog. Your delivery owner scopes the top request, agrees acceptance criteria with you, and the team delivers it. You can reorder anything that has not started. One request is active at a time on Core; additional parallel workstreams require more capacity.
The clock starts when you confirm scope and give access to your repositories, environments and legacy systems. Within 48 hours the team has its first code in production in your environment. Within 14 days your first agreed deliverable ships, for example the codebase audit of one legacy system, with its dependencies and technical debt documented. If it does not, your first month is free.
48 hours to first code in production means the first change merged and deployed through your pipeline, counted from the day scope and access are confirmed. 14 days means the deliverable named at kickoff ships within 14 days of that date, or your first month is free. “Thousands of companies” counts organisations that have bought engineering services from Scrums.com since 2012. 40-70% lower infrastructure cost after cloud migration, 5x faster deployments on microservices, 60% faster assessment with AI code analysis and 60% less maintenance are the figures the current Scrums.com application modernization page states. 40-60% cost savings is the figure that page states against US and UK consultancies; it is not a quote for your scope.
Most applications benefit from incremental modernization rather than a complete rewrite. Full rewrites are risky and expensive, and they often discard business logic built up over years. Modernize when the core business logic is sound but the architecture is outdated, or when you cannot afford extended downtime. Rebuild when refactoring costs more than rebuilding, or when the business model has changed so much that the existing functionality has no value. An assessment shows the costs, benefits and risks of each approach.
Simple re-hosting to cloud takes 2 to 4 months. Re-platforming with optimisation takes 4 to 8 months. Complete re-architecture or re-coding of complex enterprise systems takes 12 to 24 months, and large enterprise platforms with mainframe migration or a data centre exit take 18 to 36 months or more. Working increments ship every two weeks, and the first modernized services typically deploy within 2 to 3 months.
Re-hosting (lift-and-shift) moves applications to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes. It is fastest and cheapest, with limited optimisation. Re-platforming migrates to cloud with optimisations such as managed databases, containers or serverless. Re-architecting changes the application structure, for example monolith to microservices, and needs the most investment. Re-coding rewrites in modern languages and keeps the business logic. Refactoring improves code quality without changing functionality. Most programmes combine approaches by component.
Yes. The strangler fig approach avoids big-bang migrations. Modern services are built alongside the legacy system, traffic shifts gradually as services stabilise, and full rollback stays available at each phase. Mission-critical systems get extra safeguards: blue-green deployments, canary releases and extensive monitoring.
Automated regression testing runs throughout modernization. Current functionality is documented before changes, and automated tests capture existing behaviour and run on every change. Legacy and modern systems run in parallel during the transition, business stakeholders run user acceptance testing, and cutover is gradual with immediate rollback. Feature parity tracking shows which functionality has migrated and been validated.
Yes. Modernization covers COBOL, mainframes, legacy Java frameworks, old .NET Framework versions, outdated PHP and old database systems. AI-assisted tools speed up code migration, automated testing preserves functionality, and strangler-fig patterns replace legacy components gradually. Not everything needs immediate replacement: the highest-value improvements go first.
Data migration follows your continuity requirements. A zero-downtime approach keeps legacy and modern databases in sync during the transition, validates consistency continuously and shifts reads and writes gradually. A maintenance-window approach runs tested migration scripts during planned downtime and validates integrity before operations resume. Migration procedures are tested in staging first, with backup and rollback at every phase.
Yes. Most modernization clients have platforms built by previous vendors, acquired through M&A or developed by teams who have left. Code analysis, system observation and knowledge from current team members fill the documentation gap, and AI-powered code analysis speeds up understanding. Within 2 to 4 weeks of assessment, the architecture is typically understood well enough to begin.
