Software Re-Engineering
Development Services

Business Mechanix has the resources, tools, and expertise to assist you at every step in the process of enhancing, upgrading, migrating, porting, or recovering your enterprise applications and information systems.

With over five years' experience delivering state-of-the-art IT solutions, Business Mechanix offers our refined business acumen and technical skills, as well as our internally developed set of tools and methodology, to help guide you through the potentially complex and tricky process of re-engineering for the following initiatives.

Porting & Migration
In order to make a product accessible to a wider base of potential customers or to retain key customer segments migrating to an unsupported technology platform, many businesses seek to port or migrate their existing products to new platforms. As mature products become obsolete, the outdated technology makes product support and upgrades difficult and costly.

To make our clients software products more competitive, Business Mechanix offers porting and migration services that accelerate time-to-market using Business Mechanix talented pool of migration specialists and result in complete knowledge transfer to the client to minimise the costs of future product enhancements. Business Mechanix offers the following porting and migration services:

  • Assessment of the product to be migrated
  • Research of the platform to be supported
  • Review of functionality transfer
  • Risk and cost analysis assessments
  • Implementation of the migration
  • New system optimisation and tuning

Project Recovery
Many of Business Mechanix’s clients have turned to us to help recover failed, failing, or "can't be done" projects. The causes of project failure can be varied: from cost and/or time overruns/underestimations due to poor project management or insufficient resource allocation to the occurrence of a catastrophic event (irretrievable loss of data/personnel).

In any case, Business Mechanix is here to help breathe life into these projects and collaboratively see them through to fruition, enabling at least a partial recoup of investment. Moreover, we provide a fresh perspective on how to achieve project goals and accelerate project recovery by maximising code reuse. To overcome barriers to success, Business Mechanix offers the following project recovery services:

  • Project Assessment
  • Recovery Planning
  • Replacement or augmentation of development staff
  • Code audit and Improvement recommendations
  • Code recovery and/or technical documentation
  • Implementation of development
  • Training of customer's personnel

Legacy System and Application Re-Engineering
Advancements in information technology can fundamentally change the nature of business operations, necessitating the re-engineering of legacy IT systems and applications to new environments capable of supporting evolving business needs, while preserving established rules and practices. Other motivating factors for engaging in re-engineering initiatives include coping with rising maintenance costs due to non-standardised code and instability caused by multiple patches over time.

However, engaging in systems and application re-engineering projects can be challenging. Selecting the enabling technology and recovering lost documentation and source code can be time-consuming bottlenecks to achieving project success. To overcome these challenges, Business Mechanix offers end-to-end systems and application re-engineering services, including:

  • Analyses of product functionality
  • Feasibility assessments of required modifications
  • Selection of technology to be used
  • Research and development of new algorithms
  • Product roadmap and prototyping


Enterprise Application Integration
One of the greatest challenges facing medium to large organisations today is integrating the multitude of different information systems that have been implemented over the years. An enterprise "patchwork" of systems is difficult and costly to maintain and enhance. Furthermore, many enterprise applications do not have communication bridges between different functional uses of the systems (such as separate billing, accounting, and sales systems) and different departments. In the case of recent mergers or acquisitions, an incongruent software product portfolio or disparate enterprise information systems can cause deleterious effects for the newly merged business.

Business Mechanix offers the following services for a wide variety of business domains and solution sets:

  • Readiness assessment for the products or systems targeted for integration
  • Analysis of the business process and data workflow
  • Determination of a unified data and process model
  • Research of the integration platform
  • Cost, benefit, and risk assessments
  • Full implementation of the integrated solution through design, development, and testing
  • Optimisation and fine-tuning to achieve all objectives


Moving to .NET
Organisations have turned to .NET to reduce TCO and maintenance costs, overcome scalability, performance and integration issues, reduce development costs and improve operational efficiency and reach with support for an assortment of stationary and mobile devices.
Moving to .NET process comprises:

  • Analysis of legacy systems, business processes and workflow resulting in a feasibility and readiness assessment
  • Incremental implementation to progressively migrate each system component to ensure reliability and integration
  • Careful planning in phased migration to avoid costly system outages or significant downtime
  • Development of additional functionality for each component in .NET to support evolving business needs, while preserving established rules and practices
