At Si Novi we are experienced at helping businesses migrate their web applications to the cloud.
If you're evaluating the cost effectiveness of replacing or rebuilding your existing legacy applications, then spare a thought for migrating and modernising your web application.
Existing PHP applications can be given a new lease of life when brought up to modern standards. While we advocate regular support and maintenance of PHP applications, it's often the case that websites or applications are not maintained and become elderly - performing badly, throwing errors and no longer serving their purpose.
At Si Novi we have delivered application modernisation for our clients, improving existing PHP applications and ensuring they continue to operate for years to come.
Modernising your web systems might form part of your wider Digital Transformation strategy, and at Si Novi we're experienced at advising on which aspects of web technology are worth hanging on to and modernising, and which are better to be replaced entirely.
As specialists in the Yii PHP framework, we're experts at migrating Yii 1 applications to Yii 2, and modernising legacy Yii applications in order to make them more secure and compatible with current web standards.
