Transforming legacy Visual Basic systems for the public sector

Transforming legacy Visual Basic systems for the public sector

Empower your modernisation with AI – swift and secure transformation of your legacy applications.

Modernising Public Sector IT

The UK public sector spends £2.3 billion annually maintaining outdated IT systems. The State of Government Digital Review, Jan 2025 calls out “Failure to adopt new technology costs the taxpayer £45 billion a year.” The review reflects on public sector struggles to modernise legacy systems due to misaligned funding, outdated systems, reallocated budgets, and technical debt.

More specifically, legacy Visual Basic applications in public sector, pose efficiency, security, and compliance challenges, that leads to high maintenance costs and risk. We mitigate these issues with AI-powered solutions to modernise legacy applications, ensuring seamless transition with minimal disruption.

Our security-cleared, award-winning migration experts with deep modernisation and public sector experience can deploy into secure environments, across multiple clouds and on-premises.

Using automated code conversion and intelligent analysis, we streamline and future-proof your critical systems.

Results can be achieved in just 5 days, minimising cost and disruption whilst maximising value, operational efficiency and the ability to innovate.

eBook – Modernising VB legacy applications with AI

Our eBook outlines a rapid, low-cost, low-risk legacy application migration methodology using our Visual Basic AI modernisation framework, showcasing benefits, customer success stories, and a pilot program delivering modernisation results within five days.

Benefits of AI powered modernisation for public sector

Cost reduction

Generative AI can significantly reduce the cost of modernising legacy systems through increased levels of automation throughout the process, which once modernised, can significantly reduce ongoing support costs for public sector organisations.

Time to results

Our results have shown an average of 20% additional productivity gains when using Generative AI, meaning we can accelerate your timelines significantly.

Continuous evolution

Agentic AI capabilities are driving unparalleled efficiencies in software development; this is a rapidly evolving field.

Clear documentation

A lack of documentation is a major barrier to modernisation. Our AI based Decipher auto documentation solution demonstrates the real benefits of how AI can support your modernisation goals.

Remove barriers to modernisation

Using automation to modernise reduces the financial and technical barriers to entry.

Empowering citizen services

Improve citizen services by automating workflows, predicting needs, and enabling faster, smarter and more personalised systems.

Unlock the power of future-ready technologies with Decipher

Decipher is a powerful AI tool that harnesses Large Language Models (LLMs) on both Azure and AWS to automate your entire application analysis and documentation process. Decode complex, under-documented legacy systems with ease and reduce risk while accelerating modernisation.

A wide, straight dual carriageway stretches through open countryside at sunset, with fields on either side and low hills in the distance. The sun is low on the horizon, casting warm orange light and long shadows across the landscape. Blurred vehicles travel along the road, suggesting motion. Overlaid in the centre is the white “national highways” logo and text, featuring a stylised map outline next to the words “national highways”.

Accelerating National Highways’ incident response with Azure cloud

National Highways engaged with us to modernise their outdated Visual Basic 6 client app with a modern, cloud-based Azure solution.

The modernisation project resulted in 150% faster incident reporting, more efficient incident closing, and a 50% increase in report creation speed, improving journey times, navigation, and safety on England’s major highways.
