Has your software been left orphaned? We put it back in production.
The developer is gone, the system is stuck ten years in the past and every update is frightening. We analyse the existing code, secure it and move it onto modern technology — without stopping your work.
What we see most often
Abandoned software:
three typical scenarios.
None of them is beyond recovery. The first step is always working out what is really under the bonnet.
The developer vanished
The freelancer or the agency is gone. The software runs, but nobody can touch it — and the passwords are a mystery.
A system frozen in time
Unsupported technology, browsers throwing warnings, system updates that risk shutting the whole thing down.
Security and data at risk
No verified backup, shared logins, known vulnerabilities. One incident and the company stops.
How we work
Four stages,
no leap in the dark.
Every stage produces a document that stays yours. You can stop after the first one, if all you want is to know where you stand.
Analysis
Code, data, dependencies and risks: we find out what is really under the bonnet.
Output: audit report
Securing
Verified backups, tidy access control, critical vulnerabilities closed immediately.
Output: a stable, monitored system
Porting
Gradual migration onto a modern, documented stack, module by module.
Output: a maintainable codebase
Evolution
New features and ongoing support, with clear retainers.
Output: a shared roadmap
What you keep
After the rescue,
the software is yours.
No opaque dependencies: we hand over code, credentials and documentation. If one day you want to change supplier, you can do it without starting again.
A readable audit report
State of the software, risks and priorities — written for management, not only for engineers.
Code and credentials
A tidy repository, tracked access and reproducible environments.
Data safe and portable
Verified backups and a restore procedure that has actually been tested, not just declared.
Ongoing support
Monitoring and interventions with agreed response times.
Where to start
Three ways
to begin.
You do not have to decide everything up front: most clients start with the check-up and choose afterwards.
Step zero
Free check-up
A 30-minute call and a look at the software: we tell you whether it is recoverable and what you are risking today.

FAQ
What people
always ask.
Often not. It can usually be recovered from the production server or from the installation environments. If it truly does not exist, we assess rebuilding from the data and from how the software behaves.
No. We work module by module and in parallel with the existing system: the switch happens one piece at a time, in agreed windows.
The initial check-up is free. The full audit is priced on the size of the software: after the call you already know the order of magnitude.
Yes, on request and before seeing any code or data. It is standard practice in recovery work.
It depends how much value sits in the existing logic. The audit tells us — and when rebuilding is the better call, we put that in writing.
Yes, as a second opinion or alongside them. In that case we define the scope together, without conflict.
