About

What we publish

Legacy Software Modernisation publishes explanatory pages about legacy software modernisation. The site covers assessment of an estate, the choice to modernise or not, strategy, risk, sequencing, replacement and retirement. We sell no modernisation service and run no systems for clients. The publication runs nothing but its pages. Our readers work in businesses that have customers, and they need to understand the systems that keep those businesses running. This page does not give modernisation guidance. That guidance sits on the pages that cover it.

Who the pages are for

The pages are for the people who carry the work: technical leads, architects, engineering managers, product owners and the directors who approve spending. They may be midway through a replacement, or at the point of deciding whether to start. We write for readers who need the terms, the routes and the trade-offs stated plainly, not for buyers of a service.

How each page is made

We draft pages with AI. A person then reads each page and approves it before publication. The reviewer checks that the page answers the question its heading names, that its claims match the sources cited, and that it does not overstate what a source says. A page goes live only after that approval.

What we cite, what we correct, and how to reach us

A source is cited in the sentence that uses it, and it comes from a publisher the platform accepts. We name the publisher and the document at the point of use, so a reader can check the claim where it appears. We correct factual errors, misattributed quotations and citations that do not support the sentence they sit in. When a correction changes the meaning of a page, we change the sentence and keep the page accurate. Reach us at contact@legacy-software-modernisation.com for corrections, source suggestions or questions about the site. This page is signed by Legacy Software Modernisation. The writers stay behind the publication.
