The Modernization Report: What is really inside your application?

One day of remote review, together with someone from your team. Afterwards you hold a written report in your hand: risks, quick wins, a rough roadmap and an initial effort indication. It closes with a debrief with André. Facts instead of gut feeling, before you decide on the modernization.

Who is the report for?

For everyone who wants to see facts before investing.

The fundamental decision has been made or is about to be: something has to happen with your software. Now you need a solid inventory, not an opinion. The Modernization Report is for you if you recognize at least one of these sentences:

  • “We suspect where the problems are, but nobody has shown it to us in black and white.”
  • “Before I commission a roadmap, I want to know how bad it really is.”
  • “Our developers have been warning for years. I need a second opinion from the outside.”
  • “The bank is asking about the state of our software. What do I answer?”
What you get

Four things you hold in your hand afterwards.

Risks & quick wins

Where is it really burning, and what can be improved right away with little effort? The report names both concretely, prioritized and without technical jargon.

Rough roadmap

An initial order of sensible modernization steps for your application: what first, what later, what not at all. The basis for any further planning.

Effort indication

An honest first estimate of the order of magnitude the modernization moves in. Not a pinpoint landing, but enough to budget internally and decide.

Debrief with André

To close, we go through the report together: findings, recommendations, your questions. Afterwards you understand not only what is in the report, but also why.

How the report works

Four steps, one day of your team.

1 · Pre-talk

We briefly clarify the frame and focus: which application, which technologies, which questions burn the most? After that the date for the review day is set.

2 · Remote review

One day by video conference, together with someone from your team. Your developer leads through code and architecture, we ask the questions and look at the critical spots.

3 · Written report

We work out the findings: risks, quick wins, a rough roadmap, an effort indication. Written so that management and developers can use it equally.

4 · Debrief

André goes through the report with you and answers your questions. That ends the report, with no obligation to a further step.

Price & crediting

Fixed price. Double crediting.

Modernization Report

Pre-talk, one day of remote review together with someone from your team, a written report with risks, quick wins, a roadmap and an effort indication, a debrief with André. All prices net plus VAT.

The report deliberately carries no money-back guarantee: the risk-free stage is the Future-Check before it, whose price is fully credited. Instead, the crediting mechanism lowers your risk in both directions.

3,499.00 €Fixed price Future-Check (749.00 €) fully credited1,499.00 € credited toward the workshop

And if you go further afterwards?

The report is stage 2 of the Legacy to Innovation journey. If you came via the Future-Check, you effectively pay only 2,750.00 € for the report. If you then decide on the Legacy to Innovation Workshop (7,499.00 €), 1,499.00 € of the report is credited there. Anyone who goes further pays for no stage twice.

Why you can trust the report

The report is yours. Even without a follow-up assignment.

An analysis report that always ends by recommending “commission us” is not an analysis, it is a sales brochure. Our report also names the uncomfortable findings: quick wins your own team can implement, risks that need no big modernization, and spots where a rebuild simply is not worth it.

You can take the report to any service provider or hand it to your own team. Our customer Odysys first tried the web port with a migration tool and failed with it. Exactly such expensive dead ends are what the report is meant to prevent, before you invest.

Frequently asked questions

Answered clearly.

Do you need access to our source code for it?

Yes, without a look into the code there is no honest analysis. But the review runs remotely and together with someone from your team: your developer shares the screen and leads through the application, the code does not have to leave your house for it. We sign a non-disclosure agreement up front if you wish.

Why is there no money-back guarantee for the report?

Because the risk-free stage lies before it: the Future-Check carries the results guarantee, and its price is fully credited toward the report. For the report we invest a full day of analysis plus the write-up, and this result we always deliver. Instead, we lower your risk via the crediting: 1,499.00 € of the report is credited toward the workshop if you go further.

Do we have to do the Future-Check first?

No. If it is already settled for you that you want a technical analysis, you can start directly with the report. The Check is the cheaper entry point for everyone who wants to clarify the fundamental question first, and it is fully credited. So you lose nothing, no matter in which order you start.

How much time does our team have to invest?

One day for the remote review, during which someone from your team is present and leads through the application. On top of that come the short pre-talk and the joint debrief. We take care of writing up the report.

What does the Modernization Report cost?

3,499.00 € net plus VAT, as a fixed price. If you did the Future-Check before, its 749.00 € are fully credited. If you then decide on the Legacy to Innovation Workshop, 1,499.00 € of the report is credited there.

Still unsure?

Start one stage earlier: with the Future-Check.

If the fundamental question is still open (modernize, use a tool or wait), the Legacy Future-Check for 749.00 € is the better entry point: with a results guarantee, and the price is fully credited toward the report.
