Legacy System and Modernization
Services
SPARK supports mission-critical applications and modernizes them to match ongoing business goals and needs— without disrupting your daily operations!






We’re the partner you call when you’re facing challenges with your legacy software.
Most clients come to us with software they built 5, 10, and 20+ years ago, but now they’re worried about the risks it poses to their operations, such as:
No Technical Support
A key developer is retiring or no longer with the company.
Integration Challenges
Dealing with data silos between legacy systems and modern databases.
Security Risks
Facing serious risks due to security issues or potential downtime.
Future-Proofing Your Business
Updating or replacing the legacy software seems risky and expensive.

“They are unique in their space.”
“Normally when I work with a software development company, they promise me the world and I only get 80% of what I’m looking for. SPARK delivered 100% of what I was looking for without me having to push. They are honest people who do what they say they will. They will take the time to do the hard part of “understanding what we truly want” and then develop it. They are unique in their space.”

Your Pathway to Modernization
Our team uses a proven framework that provides business continuity for the legacy system and a modernization strategy that’s cost-effective.

01
System Audit & Support Plan
We document how the legacy system works and create a comprehensive strategy on how to support it.
- Audit your current legacy system (includes risk and opportunities).
- Document critical information on how the system works.
- Transition to the support of a full team, instead of a single resource.
- Prevent expensive and costly downtime due to system failure or unavailable resources.

02
Phased-Approach Modernization Roadmap
We create a practical and phased-approach plan to update the legacy software over time that’s cost-effective, and won’t disrupt your operations.
- Gradually replace your legacy systems over time to control costs and outcomes for your business.
- Remove data silos and create connectors to modern data warehouses or analytics platform.

03
Continuous Enhancements & Support
We maintain, optimize, and enhance the modernized software so it grows with your business for years to come.
- Manage and prioritize a backlog of features, enhancements, and bug fixes.
- Routine maintenance for the daily performance and security of your software.
We’re Not Just Maintaining Your Past, We’re Building Your Future!
There is no reason why modernizing your legacy software has to be so daunting! Work with SPARK to breath new life into your systems and pave the way for future growth and innovation.

Scholarship platform
Since its start in 2006, The Kalamazoo Promise offers place-based scholarships for Kalamazoo, MI students that cover up to 100% of tuition and fees for eligible Michigan institutions, apprenticeships, trade programs, community colleges, universities, and more. They turned to local partner SPARK to create a custom portal to support their student outreach and to facilitate a smoother online scholarship application process.


Food Manufacturer
Within 18 months, the Volleman’s Family Farm grew their distribution to over 450+ stores across Texas. They turned to SPARK to automate their delivery operations by turning their paper-based ticket system into a custom mobile app and backend portal.


Civil and Commercial Construction
Civil construction leader Team Elmer’s needed to bring their field data collection through a unified console. SPARK helped them build a custom app that integrates data from multiple sources.


Mechanical Contractor
Growing mechanical contractor Andy J. Egan needed to manage job assignments for 300+ workforce. SPARK helped them launch an automated scheduling workflow with mobile-friendly time entry and compliance checks.


General Contractor
When Midwest contractor Mall City Mechanical doubled in size, they needed to update their outdated processes and seamlessly integrate their data with ComputerEase. SPARK helped them improve efficiency with custom mobile and web software.


Manufacturer
DeWys partnered with SPARK to build a custom dashboard to display labor performance metrics right on the shop floor. With data at their fingertips, their operators can take initiative when planning production and improving their performance.


Food Packaging Manufacturer
The best thing about working with SPARK was their team and the investment everyone made in learning about our manufacturing niche so that we got exactly what we were looking for. During this project, it felt like we were all on the same team, not working as an agency and client. This was one of the best projects I've worked on in my career.
