Modernise your technology
Why Integral for technology modernisation?
Integral has been establishing, modernising and integrating technology and digital solutions for over 25 years. We're certified across the major enterprise technology stacks and platforms, so the recommendations we make come with the credentials and real-world experience to back them. This includes Red Hat, Microsoft, AWS, IBM, HubSpot and others. We also treat modernisation as a people and process change as much as a technical one, so the teams running these systems are ready for what changes underneath them.
FAQ's
If you can't find the answer here, just ask...Legacy System modernisation is the process of updating outdated business systems and applications to make them more efficient, cost-effective and aligned to business needs and technological advancements.
This is typically done to extend the lifespan of legacy applications, enhance their functionality, and adapt them to new environments or platforms.
There are many ways to modernise your applications, from integrating existing systems with APIs to doing a full rip-and-replace of infrastructure and building an entirely new application architecture.
Do we need to replace our systems, or can we modernise what we have?
Most of the time, modernise what you have. A full rebuild is sometimes the right call, but targeted API integration or a phased upgrade usually solves most of the problem, at a fraction of the cost and risk.
We work across Azure, OpenShift and Kubernetes, and hold partner status with Microsoft, Red Hat and AWS. We recommend the platform that fits your existing environment rather than pushing a single vendor.
Change management sits alongside every modernisation program we run — it's covered under Deliver programs & change, and we sequence the two together so the people using these systems are ready when the technology changes.
Integration connects systems that already work but don't talk to each other. Application modernisation changes the systems themselves, so they're easier to maintain and extend. Often you need both, but they solve different problems.
Depending on what a system needs, that might mean migrating to the cloud, building APIs, breaking a monolith into microservices, containerising workloads, introducing DevOps practices, strengthening security, applying AI, or general application development. We match the technique to the problem rather than defaulting to one approach.
The specifics depend on where you're starting from, but typical outcomes include automated business processes, faster systems, lower costs from eliminating redundant functions, a better experience for everyone using the system, fewer data errors and data loss, and reduced overall risk.
Yes. We're a HubSpot certified partner for CRM, marketing automation and content management work, with experience across other platforms such as Microsoft Dynamics 365 and Salesforce. We've also worked on several large-scale ERP modernisation and integration projects, including SAP and TechnologyOne.
