What is software reengineering?
Software reengineering is the process of analyzing, redesigning and rebuilding an existing software system to make it more cost-effective or adaptable to new requirements. It's a powerful way to modernize legacy systems.

Areas of expertise
We can upgrade your software or migrate it to a more advanced technology platform
Source code translation
Source code translation is a process that involves converting a program's source code from one programming language into another.
Database reorganization & transfer
The primary purpose of this process is to reduce the time it takes for queries to return results, which can lead to better overall performance.
Software architecture optimization
Software architecture optimization can be used to enhance performance, improve security, and reduce maintenance costs.
New functionality addition
We can add new features to your software, make existing ones more robust, and improve the overall user experience.
Reengineering workflow
The software reengineering process can be broken down into three main phases: reverse engineering, restructuring, and forward engineering.
Reverse engineering
Reverse engineering is a process of analyzing existing systems to understand the process flow, data flow and business logic. It allows you to gain insight into how your system works, which can help you fix issues or improve its operations. The system specifications are thoroughly analyzed to understand the existing processes.
Restructuring
Restructuring involves modifying the source code. It improves the reliability and maintainability of software, as well as to improve performance and make it more efficient. This can be done in a variety of ways, such as refactoring or rewriting parts of your codebase.
Forward engineering
In forward engineering, successive versions of software are developed by assessing risks and deciding upon the appropriate fixes. The fixes are then implemented via engineering and evaluated for their effectiveness. The process can be applied to software upgrades, as well as new versions designed from scratch.

We partner with global brands and fast-growing innovators to deliver software that works
Software reengineering is the process of taking a system that is currently in use and changing its design, architecture, or implementation.
The main cost factors are the size and complexity of the project, as well as the number of staff members who will be working on it. We can help you evaluate the scope and cost of your project.
The answer to this question depends on the type of software you have—but typically anywhere from 1-4 months (on average).
There are several good reasons for software reengineering, including improving usability, getting rid of bugs or other problems, and improving scalability and performance.
Reengineering is a cost-effective way for companies to get the best out of their existing software. It can help businesses improve their efficiency, save money, and reduce errors.
If your software has been around for several years and you're running into performance issues, then chances are it will need some kind of work done on it.
One challenge is that the code may not be well-structured, making it difficult to understand. Also, some parts of the code may not be well-documented, making it hard to find out how they work.
The field includes everything from large-scale systems like operating systems and databases down to smaller tasks like optimizing code for mobile devices.
Software development focuses on creating new software from scratch. And reengineering helps to improve existing software.
Our team is made up of engineers who are familiar with all aspects of the software reengineering process. We know what it takes to reengineer legacy systems and can help you meet your business needs.
