We help organizations upgrade and extend long-standing internal applications using modern tools, clean architecture, and decades of experience-without risky rewrites.
Example Modernization Flow
A typical engagement starts with an existing, business-critical application and ends with a modern, secure web experience�backed by scalable databases and automation.
We work with organizations that rely on long-standing internal applications-systems that are too important to abandon, but no longer easy to extend, support, or integrate.
We support a wide range of legacy and modern platforms:
We're a good fit if you:
We modernize and extend existing systems without throwing away what already works. Our work spans UI, data, automation, hosting, and long-term support.
Replace fragile desktop-only interfaces with secure web and mobile front-ends tailored to how your team actually works.
Use modern scripting and automation to clean data, synchronize systems, and remove manual, error-prone steps from critical workflows.
Surface the information leaders actually need�KPIs, drill-down reports, and audit-ready exports from data scattered across legacy systems.
Move data into modern, scalable databases (such as MariaDB or SQL Server), with a careful migration plan and performance tuning.
Connect your legacy application to other systems-APIs, SaaS tools, manufacturing equipment, and more-without destabilizing the core.
Provide ongoing hosting, security hardening, and support so your critical systems remain stable, compliant, and well cared for.
Most long-running business systems don't need to be replaced. They need to be respected, stabilized, and surrounded with modern capabilities.
Our team has deep experience with both older platforms and modern stacks. We understand what it means to support systems that have been in production for ten, twenty, or more years.
This dual perspective-legacy and modern-lets us design modernization paths that are realistic: phased, reversible, and respectful of how much your current system already does for the business.
Every organization is different, but the patterns repeat. Here are a couple of representative projects that show what's possible.
A manufacturer needed coherent, near real-time insight across thousands of devices deployed worldwide. We built a data pipeline and web-based KPI dashboard with drill-down by plant, line, and machine.
Result: better visibility, fewer surprises, and a solid foundation for future automation.
Discuss a Similar ProjectA critical Access application had reached its limits. We migrated data to a modern database, introduced a browser-based interface, and layered in automation to remove manual steps.
Result: a smoother experience for users, easier maintenance, and room to grow.
Explore Migration OptionsIADN is a professional guild of senior developers who specialize in long-standing business systems. Many of us have 15-30 years of experience with platforms that organizations still rely on every day.
We are not a generic outsourcing firm. We are a small, closely connected network that understands what it means to be responsible for systems that cannot fail.
Our members include experts from backgrounds in Access, Alpha Anywhere, FileMaker, Clarion, FoxPro, COBOL, and other long-standing platforms-paired with modern skills in web, databases, and automation.
Every relationship is different, but most fall into one of these patterns. We can start small and grow as your needs evolve.
For organizations that need regular help keeping existing systems healthy, secure, and current with evolving requirements.
For focused efforts to move a specific application or workflow to a more modern, maintainable footing without starting from zero.
For organizations that want a long-term partner to host, monitor, and evolve mission-critical applications over time.
Whether you're supporting an Access app from 2005, an Alpha Anywhere system in production today, or something even older, we're happy to explore your options with you.
