Legacy Modernization - Incremental, Not All-or-Nothing

ZirkelTech modernizes applications, databases, and integration landscapes that slow growth and accumulate risk. We work incrementally: legacy systems are wrapped, re-platformed, and decomposed - without the effort of a full replacement program and without operational disruption.

Engineering with Impact.

Incremental modernization - from assessment through architecture to cloud migration.

01

Strangler Fig & Microservices Decomposition

Incrementally extract bounded contexts from monolithic Java EE and .NET Framework applications into microservices on AKS or EKS. Domain seams defined via event storming, async messaging via Apache Kafka, and traffic routed through API gateways with Istio service mesh.h.

#StranglerFig #AKS #EKS #ApacheKafka #DDD #IstioServiceMesh

02

API-Led Modernisation - Legacy System Wrapping

Expose COBOL, AS/400 RPG, and legacy SOAP/EDI interfaces as governed REST and GraphQL APIs without touching the core. MuleSoft or Azure APIM façades, Avro/JSON Schema data contracts, and an internal API Marketplace with consumption SLAs for downstream teams.

#REST #GraphQL #MuleSoft #AzureAPIM #AS400Connector #EDItoJSON

03

Database Migration - Oracle & DB2 to Cloud-Native

Schema conversion and data migration from Oracle 11g/12c and IBM DB2 to Azure SQL Managed Instance, SAP HANA, or PostgreSQL using AWS SCT and Azure DMS. Stored procedure validation, unsupported T-SQL remediation, and zero-downtime cutover via CDC replication.

#OracleToAzureSQL #DB2ToPostgreSQL #CDCReplication #DMS #SCT

04

Data Platform Re-architecture - ETL to Lakehouse

Migrate fragile Informatica and SSIS pipelines to a modern ELT Lakehouse on Databricks Delta Lake or Azure Synapse. dbt transformation layers with column-level lineage, Great Expectations data quality gates, and SSRS reports replaced by Power BI semantic models.

#DatabricksDeltaLake #dbtCore #AzureSynapse #GreatExpectations #PowerBI

05

ABAP Legacy to SAP BTP Cloud Extension

Re-architect custom ABAP programs, user exits, and enhancement spots into clean-core BTP extensions using ABAP RAP for on-stack logic and CAP Node.js for side-by-side services. Business logic preserved, FIORI Elements UIs delivered, core upgrade cycle fully decoupled.

06

.NET & Java Re-platforming to Azure PaaS

Modernise .NET Framework 4.x and Java EE 7 to .NET 8 and Spring Boot 3 on Azure Container Apps or AKS. Azure Migrate assessment, Docker multi-stage containerisation, Key Vault secret injection, and Application Insights distributed tracing without code-level instrumentation changes.

#.Net8 #SpringBoot3 #AzureContainerApps #AzureMigrate #AppInsights

07

ERP Data Migration & Cutover Management

Structured data migration from legacy ERP platforms (SAP ECC, Navision, Infor, Sage) to S/4HANA or Business Central using LTMC, BODS, or custom ETL tooling. Full data profiling, cleansing, reconciliation, mock cutover rehearsals, and go-live hyper-care support with rollback playbooks.

08

Legacy UI Modernisation - Frontend Replacement

Replace outdated SAP GUI screens, WinForms, and Delphi desktop interfaces with responsive web frontends built on React or Angular, consuming existing backend logic via newly exposed REST APIs. Users gain modern UX without disrupting underlying business logic or requiring a full system replacement.

Legacy Assessment & Modernisation Roadmap

Structured discovery and assessment of legacy application landscapes: CAST Highlight or SonarQube codebase analysis, dependency mapping, cloud readiness scoring, and total cost of ownership modelling. Output is a prioritised, phased modernisation roadmap with effort estimates, risk ratings, and recommended target architecture per system.
