Your aging software, rebuilt like new.
- Feature for feature
- Fixed price
- In just weeks
- Proven by tests you sign off on
The problem
It's aging
Your flagship software works. Your customers or your teams depend on it. But:
- Patches keep piling up
- Performance keeps slipping
- Yesterday's architecture is holding back the ambitious work you have planned
It needs a rebuild
But you keep putting it off. It would:
- Take too long
- Cost too much
- Tie up your best developers
- Delay your critical projects
Our model is simple and focused. We rebuild your software feature for feature, on a modern architecture designed to scale, in just weeks, without changing a thing for your users.
Benefits
What you gain from a rebuild
Designed to scale
A modern, decoupled architecture, made to grow with your business.
A clean foundation
No more years of stacked patches or end-of-life dependencies. Your teams can move it forward again.
Ship with confidence
Every line of the approved spec comes with its own automated test. Refactor and ship more often, without fear of regressions.
A modern stack
Current languages and frameworks, readable code. Developers want to work on it, and your AI coding assistants can make sense of it.
Our commitments
What we guarantee
- No specs to writeWe reconstruct the spec from your existing software. You approve it line by line.
- A fixed priceQuoted a few days after you open up your code to us. No billable hours. No overruns on the frozen scope.
- Proof, signed in advanceBefore we build, you sign off on the test scenarios. At delivery, we run them in front of you, against your old software.
- Code and tests handed overThe new code and its automated tests are transferred to you upon full payment. No subscription, no lock-in.
- Your code stays under your controlWe get read-only access, and never to your production systems. Every access is individual and logged, and you can shut it off at any time. We sign a mutual NDA before anything is shared.
- What we need from youA Program Manager who signs off on each step, plus a technical lead and a business lead.
Your teams
You stay in control
Your teams stay focused on the product. You get a clean foundation, and your roadmap picks up speed again. Integration, data migration and go-live stay with your teams, by design: you stay in control.
That means you need a team that can handle them, your own or your integrator. We're not competing with your integrator. We're bringing them work.
Comparison
Publika vs. a traditional rebuild
| Criteria | Traditional rebuild, in-house or outsourced | Publika |
|---|---|---|
| Specs | Written by your teams, through long workshops and user-journey mapping | Reconstructed from your software. You approve them |
| Pricing | Time and materials, with frequent overruns | Fixed price, a few days after you open up your code |
| Timeline | Many months, often several quarters | Just weeks |
| Your teams | Your best developers tied up for the entire project | A Program Manager, a technical lead and a business lead |
| Testing | Manual acceptance testing, done by your teams | Test scenarios signed off up front. Automated tests delivered with the code |
| Ownership | Depends on the contract | Code and tests transferred to you upon full payment |
Compared with a traditional rebuild, in-house or outsourced:
- Simpler
- Faster
- Better tested
- Fixed price, known early
