Modernisation

Legacy Bridge

A modernisation concept that wraps a long-running Delphi desktop system with a secure API and a new web front end.
Concept project

This is a concept project created by Kyt Systems to illustrate an approach. It is not a client engagement; the scenario below is hypothetical.

The scenario

Suppose a business relies on a Delphi desktop application that has served it well for years. It works, but remote staff can’t reach it and every change feels risky.

Project objectives

  • Expose core functionality through a secure REST API
  • Deliver a browser-based interface for remote staff
  • Modernise incrementally without disrupting daily operations

Development approach

How it comes together.

  1. 01

    Assessment

    Map modules, business rules and database dependencies.

  2. 02

    Strangler pattern

    Introduce an API layer alongside the existing app, migrating features gradually.

  3. 03

    Web front end

    A React interface for the most-used workflows first.

Key features

  • REST API over existing business logic
  • Browser-based access for key workflows
  • Shared PostgreSQL database
  • Phased migration roadmap

Outcomes

As a concept project, there are no real-world results to report. Outcomes are only published for delivered projects, with verified figures and client permission.
