Benefits

1

Tailored

Our experts spend time studying your code and provide tailored advice and modernizations specific to your needs.

2

We do the work

Very little time is spent by your staff on the modernization of the code.  Keep your operations running smoothly while we do the modernization work.

3

Scalable 

We combine our expertise with the power of our toolset, making the service scalable beyond a typical consulting service.

Examples

Code modernization has many aspects.  Click the example topics below to learn more about their role in modern Java code.

Language modernization
Code regularization

Here the focus is not on using the latest constructs but on using the same construct in the same situation.  Regularisation leads to easier recognition of the semantic meaning of a piece of code by using familiar visual cues.

Migration and duplication

Next to the specific code aspects listed above, our modernization service also offers migration to more recent versions of the JDK.  This can be combined with migration to more recent versions of third-party libraries, either as a direct target or as a side-effect of JDK migration.

​

As a result of many of the code modernizations and regularizations mentioned, code duplication will be reduced resulting in improved readability and maintainability.  The JFocus service can also specifically target and resolve code duplication on a functional level. By means of deep static code analysis functional equivalent code can be detected and unified.  

​

Methodology

A typical modernization project is organized in phases so that our team can benefit from your input on crucial aspects of the codebase while performing valuable modernizations efficiently and transparently.
