Solution
Ship faster. Break less. Scale confidently.
Modernise legacy applications and embed the DevOps habits that keep your team delivering. 6R framework. CI/CD from day one. AI-assisted where it pulls weight.
Legacy apps slow your business down: hard to change, expensive to maintain, impossible to scale. Onel modernises what's worth keeping and replaces what isn't, with the pipelines and governance to keep delivery safe afterwards.

The challenge
Applications built a decade ago were designed for a different world: on-premises servers, manual deployments, teams that didn't move fast. Today's business demands continuous delivery, cloud scalability and security by default.
Modernising doesn't mean rewriting everything from scratch. Onel helps you make the right call for each application: re-host, re-platform, re-architect, or rebuild: then builds the DevOps habits that keep your team delivering fast, safely, forever.
When every deployment is manual and nothing is tested automatically, teams stop deploying often. Changes pile up until release night, which is exactly what makes release night dangerous.
Undocumented, tightly-coupled monoliths that no one wants to touch, consuming disproportionate developer time just to keep the lights on.
On-premises apps designed for fixed capacity that fall over during peak demand, requiring manual intervention and emergency fixes.
No automated security scanning, hardcoded secrets, unpatched dependencies, and no visibility into what's running in production. Closed by our IT security services.
Applications managed inconsistently: different tools, different processes, no standard for versioning, testing, or deployment.
Services
From assessing your application portfolio through to running your CI/CD pipelines. Onel covers the full modernisation and DevOps lifecycle.
Know what you have
A structured review of your application portfolio: mapping dependencies, assessing technical debt, scoring cloud readiness, and recommending a 6R strategy per application. For the wider technology decision, see IT strategy consulting.
Governance, code to prod
ALM frameworks giving your team visibility and control: from requirements through development, testing, deployment and retirement.
Automate commit to prod
Pipelines that carry a change from commit through build, test and security scan to deployment without anyone running a step by hand. Deployments stop being events. Pipeline failures escalate to our IT infrastructure support services team.
Package once. Run anywhere.
Containerise applications with Docker and orchestrate them on Kubernetes: Azure AKS, AWS EKS, or on-premises. Cloud-native by design. Landing zones are built by our cloud migration services team.
Modernise the code, not just the platform
Platform migration alone doesn't fix bad code. Onel's engineers refactor legacy codebases: reducing technical debt, improving maintainability, making apps cloud-native.
Accelerate developer velocity
AI coding tools have changed how software is built. Onel helps teams adopt and get maximum value from Copilot, Claude Code and AI development tools, output quality and speed up, headcount steady.
Delivery pipeline
The Onel standard CI/CD pipeline covers every stage from code commit to production, with security checks and quality gates at every step. A failed test, a high-severity finding or a policy violation stops the pipeline before bad code reaches production.

Modernisation strategy
Not every application should be modernised the same way. Onel uses the 6R framework to assess each application individually and recommend the approach that delivers the best business outcome.
R1
Lift & shift
Move the application to cloud infrastructure with minimal changes: same code, same architecture, just running on cloud VMs.
Best for: apps that work fine but need to move fast, or where code changes carry high risk.
R2
Lift, tinker & shift
Targeted optimisations during the move, managed PaaS database, containerised app tier, without changing the core application.
Best for: apps that benefit from managed services but don't need architectural changes.
R3
Re-architect
Redesign and rewrite parts of the application to take full advantage of cloud-native capabilities, breaking monoliths into services, adopting APIs.
Best for: apps with high business value constrained by legacy architecture.
R4
Drop & shop
Replace the application entirely with a commercial SaaS product: Salesforce, ServiceNow, Microsoft 365 equivalents.
Best for: commodity applications where buying is more cost-effective than maintaining custom code.
R5
Keep as-is
Some applications aren't worth migrating right now: compliance constraints, recent investment, end-of-life timeline. Retain and revisit later.
Best for: apps approaching end-of-life, recently rebuilt, or under regulatory holds.
R6
Decommission
Identify and decommission applications no longer used or superseded: freeing up resources, reducing attack surface, eliminating maintenance burden.
Best for: redundant, duplicate or unused applications consuming resources without delivering value.
DevSecOps
Security added after development is expensive to fix and easy to miss. DevSecOps embeds security checks into every stage of the delivery pipeline, catching vulnerabilities automatically before they reach production.
SAST
Every commit scanned for SQL injection, XSS, insecure functions and hardcoded secrets, before the code is even built.
SonarQube · Semgrep · GHAS
Dependencies
Open source libraries and container base images scanned for CVEs every build. High-severity vulnerabilities block deployment.
Snyk · Trivy · Dependabot · Grype
DAST
Running applications probed for injection flaws, auth weaknesses and misconfigs that only appear at runtime.
OWASP ZAP · Burp · Nuclei
Secrets
No credentials in code, ever. Secrets stored in Azure Key Vault or HashiCorp Vault, injected at runtime, rotated automatically.
Azure Key Vault · HashiCorp Vault
Policy
Policy written as code and enforced at the cluster, so a non-compliant resource is refused at deployment rather than found in an audit six months later.
OPA / Gatekeeper · Azure Policy · Kyverno
SBOM
SBOM generated for every build, a complete inventory of all components, libraries and versions for vulnerability tracking and compliance.
Syft · Cosign · GitHub Attestations
Our approach
We map the portfolio and its dependencies first, then pick a 6R path for each application. Some get rehosted, some get rebuilt, and a few are best left exactly where they are.
Target architecture, ALM framework, pipeline design, environment strategy and delivery plan, agreed with your team before we build.
Build the CI/CD pipeline, containerise the application, refactor the code, deploy through Dev → Test → UAT → Production with automated gates.
Documentation, knowledge transfer and optional ongoing support. Your team owns the outcome, Onel available to manage if needed.
Toolchain
Our engineers are certified across the main DevOps and container toolchains, and use them on client work rather than in a lab.

Code stays yours
Source code lives in your Git repositories, pipelines run on your platform, and runbooks transfer at handover. We embed alongside your engineers and skill them up, the modernisation goal isn't ongoing dependence on Onel, it's a team that can ship without us.
