Typical delivery approach
Modernization begins with an assessment of the current application, dependencies, and risks. Northbridge proposes a phased plan — stabilization, incremental improvement, targeted replacement — so the business keeps running while risk is reduced.
Frequently asked questions
- Do you always recommend a full rewrite?
- No. A full rewrite is high-risk and often unnecessary. Assessments frequently recommend a phased approach — stabilization, targeted improvements, and selective replacement.
- Can Northbridge take over an existing application from another team?
- Potentially. An assessment is normally needed to understand source access, deployment, dependencies, documentation, data, security, and operational risk.
