Legacy system support

Your old system, looked after properly.

If the one person who understands it won the lottery tomorrow, what would happen on Monday? Geekwork takes over the system your business depends on, makes it safe, supports it, and helps you decide what comes next, including systems that have been running for more than 10 years.

Be honest. Nobody's watching.

Take the full ten-question Sleep Test

Only one person knows how it works
Nobody dares restart the server
It can't be changed without breaking something
There's no documentation
The developer who built it has moved on
It still needs an old browser or an old version of Windows
You've been told it "can't do that"
You'd dread it going down in your busiest week

What's included

Safe first. Then supported. Then better.

Old systems rarely fail because they're old. They fail because nobody knows how they work. So the first thing you get is documentation, and it's yours to keep. Typical systems: client portals, booking and job management systems, bespoke databases, and spreadsheets that grew too big.

Fixed-price health check. You keep the documentation, whatever you decide next
Urgent risks fixed: security, backups, out-of-support software
Ongoing support with agreed response times
Modernise or rebuild when the time is right

How it works

From "nobody dares touch it" to looked after.

Each step stands on its own. If the health check is all you need, stop there: the documentation is still yours.

Health check

We take a copy of the code, hosting and data, and report back: how it works, what's at risk and what to fix first. At a fixed price.

Stabilise

The urgent risks fixed: backups, security updates, out-of-support hosting and source control. A fixed price, based on the health check.

Support

Fixes, small changes and a quarterly review, with agreed response times, on a monthly retainer.

Modernise

When the time is right, replace parts of it or rebuild it, starting with a prototype and a fixed price for each phase.

Start with a conversation

Tell us about the system that keeps you awake.

The first conversation is free and is simply about your system and whether Geekwork is the right fit. Even if we never work together, you'll have a written summary and a suggested next step the same day.
