How it works

Parse. Transform. Modern app.

Modernization at Vivify is model-driven and largely automated. Instead of rewriting your system by hand, we model what it does and generate the modern equivalent — preserving your business logic and handing you clean code you own.

Legacy source Parse Model Transform Modern TypeScript / React

Parse your application into a model

We ingest your legacy source — screens, navigation, data access, and embedded business rules — and build a complete, structured model of how the application actually behaves. This is automated analysis, not a team reading code line by line.

  • Full inventory of screens, components, and data flows
  • Business logic captured as a model, not as notes
  • Nothing silently dropped — gaps are surfaced, not guessed

Transform the model to a modern architecture

The model is mapped onto a modern TypeScript / React architecture, and the new application is generated automatically. Roughly 90%+ of the work is automated; engineers focus on the genuinely bespoke remainder rather than re-typing logic that the model already holds.

  • Business behavior preserved by construction
  • Output is conventional, standard code — no proprietary runtime
  • Consistent patterns across the whole application

Deliver a modern app you own

You receive a responsive, maintainable application your own team can read, run, and extend on current frameworks. Because the output is standard code with no lock-in, you are free to take it anywhere — including hosting and maintaining it entirely yourselves.

  • Responsive across web, tablet, and mobile
  • Clean code your engineers can own from day one
  • Automated test coverage built alongside the transformation
  • Portable — no dependency on us to keep it running
Included in the engagement

Test automation is part of the modernization.

A modernized system has to prove it behaves like the original. Share your test plans, or even outlines of them, and we build automation libraries for the tests that exist today and prepare for the ones that will exist tomorrow.

  • Automation libraries built from your existing test plans
  • Regression coverage that verifies old and new behave the same
  • A test foundation your team keeps extending after handover
Why this approach

Built to remove the risk from modernization.

Lower risk than a rewrite

A hand rewrite re-implements years of business logic from scratch and hopes nothing is lost. Model-driven transformation carries that logic through automatically, so behavior is preserved instead of reconstructed.

Faster, more predictable

Automating the bulk of the conversion compresses timelines from years to a fraction of that, with far less variance — you are not gated on hand-coding every screen.

No vendor lock-in

The deliverable is standard TypeScript / React, or Vue and similar frameworks where your standards call for it. There is no Vivify runtime sitting under your application and no license you must keep paying to run your own software.

Proven at enterprise scale

This is not a lab technique. The same approach has modernized systems for major enterprises over 15+ years — see the organizations we have worked with.

The best way to understand it is to see it on your code.

Send us a representative module from your legacy application. We will run it through the process and show you the modern, standard code you would own.
