Modernisation without stopping the business

8 symptoms of technical debt

• 01 Legacy BPM systems on outdated process engines with end-of-life vendor support
• 02 Processes locked in monoliths - impossible to change without risking a full system failure
• 03 Vendor lock-in - high licence costs and no alternatives
• 04 Lack of auditability - processes run, but nobody knows exactly how or why
• 05 Inability to integrate new technologies (AI, cloud) with legacy systems
• 06 High cost of every change - minor modifications require months of work and testing
• 07 Knowledge drain - only a handful of people understand how a critical system works
• 08 No documentation of processes or architectural decisions

Our approach - iterative modernisation

We don't rewrite from scratch. We modernise iteratively - migrating processes one by one while keeping the old system as a fallback until the new solution is fully proven in production.

We promote open standards (BPMN, DMN notation) that allow changing the process engine without rewriting business logic. This builds long-term technological independence.

Example: migration of a BPM system from Bonita to Camunda 8 at BNP Paribas Fortis - credit process migration with zero downtime, full auditability, and a new architecture.

Escaping vendor lock-in

We specialise in migrating from closed BPM systems (IBM BPM, Appian, older Pega versions) to open-source platforms (Camunda, Flowable, n8n). Process logic in BPMN/DMN is portable - you don't have to abandon your existing work.
