The Strategy: Strangler Fig Pattern Without Production Risk

Instead of dangerous big-bang rewrites, we extract vertical functional slices one-by-one in live operation.

Annual Budget Burned on Technical Debt
ca. 147.000 €pro Jahr an verbranntem Budget für Notfall-Bugs & Workarounds
Annual Engineering Hours Wasted
ca. 3.360 hours burned / year

Entspricht 1.8 vollen Entwicklerstellen, die reine Altlasten verwalten statt neue Funktionen für Ihre Kunden zu bauen.

Engineering Capacity Recovered After Modernization
1.8 Stellen
Modernization Payback Period
ca. 7 Monate
100% Pflichtenheft-Garantie: Jeder Modernisierungs-Meilenstein wird zum festen Pauschalpreis fertiggestellt.
0 € für Abstimmungen: Statusmeetings und Architektur-Sparring mit Ihrem Team kosten 0 € extra.
Mitarbeiter-Mitnahme: Your existing engineering team is mentored and trained in modern stacks – never displaced.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions: Tech Debt & ROI

Insights into root causes, the Strangler Fig pattern, and budgeting.

Technical debt accumulates through rapid shortcuts, legacy language runtimes, missing automated test coverage, and monolithic coupling. Over time, bugs multiply, releases grind to a halt, and engineers spend most of their time maintaining fragile workarounds.
