Your aging business tool deserves a second life.
Takeover and modernization of existing applications — .NET, Java, PHP, Access, Excel — without stopping your operations.
Software modernization means taking over an aging business application — often .NET, Java, PHP, or even an Access database or a mission-critical Excel workbook — and making it maintainable, secure and able to evolve, without interrupting the operations that depend on it. MAWT modernizes Swiss SMEs' business tools in stages: audit of the existing system, progressive migration, and integration of modern capabilities such as AI.
For Swiss SMEs and organizations whose critical tool runs on aging technology, a vanished vendor or a developer who retired — and who cannot afford to switch it off.
Many companies run on software nobody dares touch anymore: the .NET or Java application written fifteen years ago, the PHP site from a vendor who disappeared, the Access database or Excel workbook that became the heart of operations. It works — until the day it doesn't.
We take over the existing system without dismissing it: an audit of what works, a map of the risks, then modernization in stages. The business keeps running during the migration, the data is preserved, and the tool comes out maintainable, documented and ready for what's next — including AI.
The signs it is time to modernize
The developer who knew the code is gone. Security updates are no longer possible. Every small change takes weeks. The tool talks to nothing else: permanent re-typing between it, the ERP and accounting. Or simply: it only runs on that old PC nobody dares switch off.
None of these signs improve with time. But the answer is not necessarily to throw everything away: most successful modernizations preserve the business logic — fifteen years of know-how — and replace the technical shell.
Our approach: in stages, never a big bang
Brutally replacing a critical tool is the riskiest project there is. We work differently: first an audit that separates what should be kept, replaced or dropped. Then a piece-by-piece migration — every stage ships something usable, and the old system stays available until the new one has proven itself.
Data gets special care: full recovery, cleaning, verification. That is often where your team's trust in the new tool is won.
Modernizing also means getting ready for AI
Modern software is not just more maintainable: it becomes the gateway to today's gains. Data reachable through APIs, automations plugged into your flows, an assistant that answers from your records. Modernization is often the first concrete step of an AI strategy — impossible to build on an Access database.
