Legacy Replacement in Coventry
This region industrialised early in software terms too. A great deal of genuinely excellent process knowledge is locked inside systems written decades ago for one business, by someone who has since retired.
Can you replace a legacy system for a business in Coventry?
Yes. GTX Digital migrates businesses in Coventry off unsupported, undocumented or end-of-life software, in stages, without stopping the operation.
- Starts with documenting the existing behaviour, including the undocumented.
- Migrates in stages, with old and new running together and reconciled.
- Treats data migration and validation as a first-class deliverable.

Automotive and mobility engineering at the Triangle’s centre
Software in Coventry is often specified by engineers rather than by an IT function. The domain logic is usually excellent and the software discipline around it usually absent — no version control, no tests, no documentation. We keep the first and add the second.
Coventry is the most engineering-weighted economy in the Triangle. The city built its reputation on vehicle manufacture and has kept the engineering base while the work shifted towards electrification, lightweighting and mobility research.
For this work that lands mainly in Precision manufacturing, Advanced engineering & R&D and Automotive & mobility.

Where it lands
The Coventry sectors this work suits.
Drawn from what Coventry is actually built on, rather than a list of industries we would accept work from.
-
Precision manufacturing
Machining, tooling and components businesses working to tight tolerances and heavy certification requirements.
-
Advanced engineering & R&D
A research and prototyping cluster unusual for a city this size, including significant university-linked engineering capacity.
-
Automotive & mobility
Vehicle engineering, electrification and the tier-one and tier-two supply chain, with the traceability and quality requirements that come with it.
How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Coventry.
The full scope, phases and deliverables are on the Legacy Replacement service page. These are the parts that are specific to working here.
-
Mapped before replaced
We establish what the system actually does from its data, its outputs and the people who use it, and write it down. Usually the first time anyone has.
-
Incremental, never big-bang
One bounded piece first, reading from the old system while it still runs. A weekend cutover concentrates all the risk into one weekend.
-
Reconciled, not hoped
Rehearsed migrations with reports proving balances, counts and histories match before anything is switched off.
-
Knowledge out of heads
The business rules and the reasons behind them, documented. That often outlives the project and is the most valuable thing produced.

On site in Coventry
Coventry sits almost exactly in the middle of the Triangle, which makes it one of the easiest places for us to get to for a half-day session. Discovery and the sessions that decide a design happen in person; delivery then runs remotely with scheduled reviews, and there is no travel charge inside the Golden Triangle.
Questions
Legacy Replacement in Coventry, answered.
The questions businesses in Coventry ask before they commission this work.
What does a legacy assessment cost for a Coventry business?
The assessment is a small fixed-price piece of work, typically a few thousand pounds over two to four weeks, producing a written map of the system, a risk register and costed options. It is deliberately standalone: you can take it to any supplier, including ones who are not us.
