Turn outdated systems into modern software

Inflexible systems are increasingly leading to slower innovation and are deemed a poor fit with new processes and requirements, resulting in the business's inability to keep up with modern market demands. However, companies can refrain from software modernization because replacement is simply not feasible due to the risk of data loss or incompatibility with internal processes. Betty Blocks offers organizations the ability to incrementally improve and augment without disrupting business operations, resulting in safer application modernization.

Improve processes

Eliminate manual processes, forms, and sheets by adding modern features with low-code. Improved workflows lead to the business being more agile.

Reduce costs

Keeping legacy systems operational is costly, low-code offers a speedy solution by providing developers with pre-set templates.

Extend flexibility

Add branding elements or extended role-based permissions to existing applications without going through full-scale migrations.

Deliver at scale

Use the cloud-based visual code builder to quickly create and iterate on the desired solutions, delivering projects at enterprise scale.

Patch security risks

Unsupported systems can pose a significant security risk. Use low-code to increase security and mitigate compliance issues.

Cloud system modernization

Since most ERPs and other core systems were built in the 1990s, they run on on-premises hardware, making migration to the cloud lengthy and expensive. Maintaining outdated hardware is costly and can significantly slow down the business and hamper technological innovation.  With remote work and hybrid work becoming more prevalent, employees need to be able to access systems from any location.

 

Companies urgently need to move their data, tools, and systems to a cloud-based environment, but doing so can temporarily impede business operations. Betty Blocks offers a seamless transition to cloud-based solutions by allowing developers to build the desired functionality or solution on the platform first. Here, it can be tested and validated thoroughly to fit the requirements needed to augment the outdated system. This type of software modernization means that organizations will not experience any downtime in their services while legacy migrations are being carried out.
