Your legacy system is costing more than you think.

We help companies modernize legacy systems by showing you exactly where to invest—before writing a single line of code.

Is This You?

Your legacy system runs the business, but nobody wants to touch it
The engineers who built it are gone—and the knowledge left with them
Every "simple" change takes 3x longer than it should
You're not sure if the problem is the code, the process, or both
You've been quoted $2M for a rewrite, but you're not convinced that's the answer

If this sounds familiar, keep reading.

What We Do

We analyze your codebase to find exactly where modernization will have the highest ROI—before you commit to anything.

Most dev shops take requirements and start coding. We start with analysis. We look at your ticket history, your Git data, and your highest-risk code to answer three questions:

1. Where is the pain coming from?

Bad process or bad code?

2. What's actually broken?

Which files are most likely to cause production incidents?

3. What will it cost to fix?

Prioritized roadmap with hour estimates and ROI projections

You get a clear picture of your technical debt, quantified in dollars—not just developer complaints.

What You Get: The Sysri Assessment

A 2-4 week engagement that delivers:

Risk Hotspot Report

Files most likely to break production (high change frequency + high coupling)
Critical code owned by only one person (bus factor risk)
Features that changed 50 times while their tests changed twice

Technical Debt in Dollars

Hours spent on bugs by feature area
Cost of rework from reopened tickets
Shadow cost: what you're paying in slow velocity

Modernization Roadmap

Prioritized remediation plan with hour estimates
ROI projection: payback period and 3-year return
Cloud migration blockers identified

What Clients Say

"We had the pleasure of working with Tri and his exceptional team as contractors on several key initiatives, including enhancing our data engineering capabilities, addressing critical code vulnerabilities, and successfully migrating our API from MS SQL to RDS PostgreSQL. Throughout the engagement, Tri and his team demonstrated deep technical expertise, outstanding problem-solving skills, and a collaborative approach that consistently exceeded our expectations.

The Team

Toronto leadership. Vietnam engineering.

We're not a body shop. We're a senior team that's been working together for years on enterprise systems—payment platforms, SaaS products, regulated industries.

Our Vietnam team isn't cheap labor. It's experienced engineers in one of Asia's fastest-growing tech hubs, delivering North American quality at significantly lower cost.

Meet the Founders

Tri Ho

Co-founder, based in Toronto

12+ years leading software teams. Specialized in the systems nobody else wants to touch—legacy payment platforms, fragile SaaS products, codebases where one wrong commit means a 3am phone call. Handles client relationships and technical strategy.

Dzung Dang

Co-founder, based in Ho Chi Minh City

12+ years as a hands-on technical leader. Leads our Vietnam engineering team. Same background as Tri, but more keyboard time and less meetings. The person who makes sure the work actually gets done right.

"We built Futurify because we kept seeing the same problem: companies held hostage by systems that work but can't evolve. The engineers who built them left, and everyone's afraid to make changes. We fix that."

Common Questions

What is a technical debt assessment?

It's an analysis of your codebase to find where shortcuts, outdated code, and accumulated complexity are slowing you down. A good assessment doesn't just list problems—it quantifies the cost in dollars and developer hours, and tells you which issues to fix first based on business impact.

How do you modernize a legacy system?

Not with a big-bang rewrite. We take an incremental approach:

Analyze — Understand where the real risks are (not just what feels slow)
Prioritize — Rank fixes by ROI, not by what's most annoying
Isolate — Decouple the riskiest parts so they can be improved safely
Modernize — Refactor, add tests, migrate—piece by piece
Measure — Track velocity and incident rates to prove progress

The goal is continuous improvement without disrupting the business.

How much does a legacy system rewrite cost?

A full rewrite typically costs 2-5x more than estimated and takes 2-3x longer. Worse, you're maintaining two systems during the transition, and the new system often inherits the same problems because nobody understood why the old code was written that way.

Incremental modernization costs less, delivers value faster, and reduces risk. We help you understand the true cost of both approaches before you commit.

What does a software modernization roadmap include?

Ours includes:

Risk hotspots — The specific files and modules causing the most pain
Prioritized remediation plan — What to fix first, second, third
Hour estimates — How long each fix will take
ROI projections — Payback period and expected maintenance savings
Cloud migration blockers — What's preventing you from moving to modern infrastructure
Quick wins — Low-effort fixes that deliver immediate value

It's not a PowerPoint. It's a working document your team can execute against.
