Legacy modernization to Blazor or React

Take the old app apart before you rebuild it

Big-bang rewrites fail because nobody knows what the old app does. Agents separate every screen into its interface, its rules, and its data, then rebuild it in Blazor or React on Syncfusion components, one tested screen at a time.

Rules before rewrites

Review legacy behavior with the business owner

The people who wrote the app moved on years ago. The rules didn’t. Each one is traced to the code that enforces it, so the business owner can confirm the logic before anything is rebuilt.

No switch-off day

Replace legacy screens one pull request at a time

Nobody wants a switch-off day. Each rebuilt screen arrives as its own pull request once its parity tests pass, so your team can release it while the old app keeps serving the rest.

Frequently asked questions

How does legacy modernization work without a big-bang rewrite?
Agents map every screen and business rule in the old app, then rebuild it in Blazor or React on Syncfusion components. Each screen comes back as its own tested pull request while the old app keeps serving the rest.
How do I know a rebuilt screen behaves like the old one?
Each screen comes with parity tests that compare old and new behavior on the same inputs. Your team releases it only after they pass.
Who confirms the business rules before the rebuild?
Each rule is traced to the code that enforces it, so your business owner can confirm the logic before anything is rebuilt. The map, the rules, and the tests stay in your repository.
What do I need to start a modernization project?
Connect the legacy repository, choose Blazor or React, approve the screen inventory, and start with one screen.
