Application modernization and cloud services that cut risk, not corners.

Application modernization and cloud services are the work of bringing older business software up to date and moving it, along with its data, onto modern cloud infrastructure. That can mean tidying up and improving an existing application, rebuilding one that has run out of road, moving a database to a better-fitting one, or shifting your systems onto a platform like AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

The goal is not change for its own sake. It is a system that is faster, cheaper to run, safer, and easier to build on, without the risk of a single big-bang switch. Good providers assess what you have first, recommend the honest route rather than a one-size answer, and move you across in small, reversible steps. Avaib has delivered software across more than 600 projects since 2004 and applies that same engineering discipline to every modernization and migration.

It depends on the route. A fixed modernization assessment is a small, low-risk first step, while migrating or rebuilding a full system is larger. Avaib's model is senior expertise at a cost-effective rate, typically around USD 25 per hour, which is why businesses in Australia, the US, Canada and the Middle East work with us instead of paying big-firm prices.

Tell us about the system you want to modernize or move, and we will propose a right-sized engagement with a clear scope and a ballpark price, plus a free, no-obligation written estimate after a short scoping conversation.

It depends on the state of the system. A lift-and-shift (rehost) is the fastest, cheapest way onto the cloud, but it carries the old problems with it, so it only makes sense when the application is basically sound.

If the system is slow, fragile or expensive to change, a plain lift-and-shift just moves those problems to a new home. In that case replatforming, refactoring or rebuilding pays off. We assess your system and recommend the right mix honestly, because the cheapest move up front is often the most expensive over time.

It should not mean meaningful downtime. We migrate in slices and run the old and new systems side by side, so your business keeps running while the work happens.

When it is time to switch over, we do it at a quiet time, once the new system has been verified on real data, and we keep a way back until you are happy. A carefully staged cut-over, not a nervous overnight flip.

Data safety is built into every step, not checked at the end. We map and back up your data before we start, migrate it in controlled stages, and verify it against the original at each stage so nothing is lost or corrupted.

Our dedicated QA department tests the migration, and we keep the old system available until you have signed off on the new one, so a move is never an irreversible leap.

Not with us. You own the code and the data, and we favour portable, standard architecture over a provider's proprietary tools wherever it is sensible.

That keeps your options open: you can move between AWS, Azure or Google Cloud later, or take the whole thing elsewhere, without being trapped by a vendor's ecosystem to keep it running.

It ranges from a few weeks for a focused migration to several months for a large legacy estate. The honest answer comes after the audit, when we know what we are dealing with and how the pieces connect.

Because we move in slices, you start seeing real progress early rather than waiting for one big delivery at the end, and the timeline stays something you can check as we go.

Yes. Everything we modernize or build for you is yours: the code, the data, the cloud accounts and the roadmap. There is no per-seat licence and no lock-in to Avaib to keep it running.

You are free to take it to another team at any time, though most clients stay because they would rather not re-explain a system to someone new.
