Legacy Replacement in Lichfield
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 Lichfield?
Yes. GTX Digital migrates businesses in Lichfield 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.
Lichfield · Staffordshire
Professional services and the Fradley logistics corridor
Lichfield splits in two. A professional firm needs matter and document control with confidentiality designed in; a Fradley operation needs stock and despatch. The same supplier, but almost nothing in common.
Lichfield itself is a small cathedral city with a professional and service economy, but the surrounding area carries serious industrial weight — Fradley Park to the north is one of the larger distribution and manufacturing locations in Staffordshire.
For this work that lands mainly in Manufacturing & production, Professional services and Distribution & warehousing.

How we work here
What legacy replacement looks like in Lichfield.
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.
-

Questions
Legacy Replacement in Lichfield, answered.
The questions businesses in Lichfield ask before they commission this work.
What does a legacy assessment cost for a Lichfield 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.
