What Is Software Migration?

Software migration is the process of moving an application, its data, and its codebase from an outdated platform, framework, or infrastructure to a modern one, without losing functionality or interrupting the business.

That covers everything from legacy system migration and database moves to full migration & modernization of the underlying architecture. At Saigon Technology, our software migration services pair senior engineers with AI-accelerated analysis to map your system, surface hidden risk early, and rebuild only what needs to change, so you keep what works and modernize the rest.

software development services - icon 9

Legacy application & code migration

We modernize aging applications through structured legacy code migration and refactoring, replacing outdated components and unsupported libraries, eliminating technical debt, and moving your logic onto current stacks such as .NET 6+ or Java. The result is functional parity with a cleaner, more maintainable foundation.

Application replatforming & rebuilds

When a platform can no longer scale, we rebuild on modern infrastructure through application migration services and replatforming, decoupling UI from business logic, updating APIs, and optimizing data flows. Delivered by our custom software development and back-end development teams.

Software Migration Case Studies

idealpos cloud 3

Idealpos Cloud

Local-to-cloud migration for a global Point of Sale company. 

  • Challenge: Idealpos needed to move point of sales (POS) system data, customer information, licensing, and invoicing from local machines to the cloud, while keeping thousands of terminals running. 
  • Solution: We migrated management of POS data to Microsoft Azure, built a cloud reporting system with role-based access, and integrated payment gateways and eCommerce platforms via new APIs. 
  • Stack: .NET, Angular, Azure DevOps (Development / Staging / Production). 
  • Outcome: Work efficiency improved significantly on the client's side, and more systematic testing kept the enhanced system running smoothly under heavy data load. The offshore model delivered cost efficiency, while agile troubleshooting and quick enhancement rapidly lifted the client's technical competence. 
  • Engagement / timeline: Offshore dedicated team, started with 2 web and 2 mobile developers plus a project manager, scaled to 8 over the first year; a 12-month roadmap delivered by milestones with fortnightly reviews. · Client: Idealpos - Retail / Point of Sale, Brisbane, Australia.

Scholar OS - A Unified Education Platform

Scholar OS

Database migration (MS SQL → MySQL) with a legacy system that couldn't be switched off.

  • Challenge: Student, academic, and financial records lived in disconnected systems, and a long-running legacy platform (built on .NET, C#, and MS SQL) still ran essential operations. A full rewrite was off the table, it had to keep working while modernization happened around it.
  • Solution: We ran a careful structured data migration from MS SQL to MySQL, mapping, validating, and reconciling records against the source, sequenced around live operations to keep disruption minimal. The legacy system stayed online, connected via APIs, while a unified platform was built on Node.js and MySQL.
  • Stack: Node.js, MySQL, REST APIs.
  • Outcome: A single source of truth for student, academic, and financial data, with no lost history, that ended the manual, department-by-department reconciliation. Learning and recruitment were modernized through integrated LMS and CRM modules, and the institution gained continuity through change: the legacy STARS system stayed live throughout, avoiding a high-risk rip-and-replace, on a future-ready Node.js + MySQL foundation.
  • Engagement / timeline: Delivered as a validated interactive prototype (prototype-first) that lets stakeholders click through the unified platform before heavier investment. · Client: an education institution (EdTech); platform delivered as "Scholar OS."

Personal Loans Application

Personal Loan Platform

Legacy-to-microservices architecture migration for a US lending platform.

  • Challenge: The client needed to migrate an old system into a new microservices architecture — moving off a bespoke framework and transferring modules to current services — while ramping a senior team fast.
  • Solution: We migrated the legacy system into a domain-driven microservices architecture, resolved breaking changes during the transfer, and stood up service teams with overlapping hours for smooth collaboration.
  • Stack: Java Spring Boot, ReactJS, microservices, Kafka, AWS, DynamoDB.
  • Outcome: Agile delivery drove rapid improvement of the client's technical proficiency, while distributed service teams operated across time zones with daily overlapping hours to keep collaboration tight and decisions fast.
  • Engagement / timeline: Offshore dedicated team ramped to 20 senior engineers within 3 months, organized into domain-aligned service teams. · Client: a US personal-loan lending platform.

Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, or Rebuild?

Not every system needs a full rewrite. The right migration scenario depends on your cost, risk, and timeline, so we start by matching your system to one of the proven migration approaches, then recommend the one that fits your industry's specific requirements, and tell you plainly when the simpler option is the smarter one.

Rehost

Move the system as-is to modern infrastructure. Fastest, lowest risk; limited modernization. 

chevron-up.svg

Replatform

Move with targeted improvements (e.g., a new database engine) and minimal code change.

chevron-up.svg

Refactor

Restructure the codebase and apply clean architecture to fix technical debt while keeping behavior.

chevron-up.svg

Rearchitect

Redesign toward microservices for scalability and independent deployment.

chevron-up.svg

Rebuild

Rewrite the application on a modern stack when the legacy base can't carry the business forward.

chevron-up.svg

Replace

Retire and swap for a new solution when that delivers more value than migrating.

Our Insights

FAQs

Software migration services move an application, its data, and its code from an outdated platform to a modern one, without losing functionality. They cover legacy code migration, database and data migration, replatforming, architecture modernization, and cloud migration.

A software migration company audits your legacy system, recommends a migration approach, then migrates code, data, and infrastructure with testing and validation. Saigon Technology also handles integration, phased cutover, and post-launch support.

Cost depends on system size, migration approach, and complexity. Saigon Technology works at published rates of $22–$46/hour and provides a fixed estimate after a short code-analysis and scoping phase, so you get a predictable plan before work begins.

Timelines range from a few weeks for a rehost to several months for a full rebuild. After discovery and code analysis, we give you a roadmap with main stages and clear milestones.

Outsourcing gives you senior migration specialists and a proven framework without hiring and retaining a niche team. Saigon Technology offers a two-week risk-free trial so you can validate the fit before committing.

Core technologies (tailored to your migration):

  • Backend: .NET (including .NET 6+), Java, Node.js, Python
  • Frontend: React, Angular, Vue.js, TypeScript
  • Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
  • Migration specifics: database-engine moves (e.g., MS SQL → MySQL/PostgreSQL), monolithic architecture → microservices, and desktop-to-web/mobile modernization, updating legacy UI frameworks, third-party libraries, and APIs along the way.

Standards & compliance: ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 27001 (Information Security); HIPAA / HL7 for healthcare; PCI-DSS / SOC 2 for fintech; GDPR and PDPA for data protection. For regulated systems such as a payment system, payroll & tax management software, or an ERP system, we keep data compliant at every stage of the migration.

We use a phased cutover and structured data migrations with mapping, validation, and reconciliation against the source. Legacy systems stay online, connected via APIs, until the new platform is verified.

Compliance is built into every stage: encryption, role-based access, audit trails, and secure engineering aligned with ISO 27001, HIPAA/HL7, PCI-DSS, GDPR, and PDPA, matched to your industry's specific requirements.
