MODERNISATION SPECIALISTS
Modernise legacy systems without disrupting the business that depends on them.
DG Systems helps established Australian organisations assess, migrate and modernise critical systems, infrastructure and data — with senior-only delivery.
TRUSTED BY AUSTRALIAN ORGANISATIONS MODERNISING MISSION-CRITICAL SYSTEMS
The systems you can’t break are the ones you can’t keep.
For many established Australian organisations, the platforms running payroll, finance, customer records, operations and reporting were built a decade or more ago. They still work — until they don’t.
Vendor support is winding down. The people who built the system have moved on. Every change takes longer, costs more and carries more risk than it should.
You already know what needs to change. The hard part is changing it without taking the business offline in the process.
What we do.
Four practices, one focus: modernising the systems established Australian businesses run on.
Legacy system assessment and modernisation roadmap
We start by understanding what you actually have — the systems, dependencies and risks. The output is a sequenced roadmap that tells you what to migrate, in what order, and how to do it safely.
Cloud migration and application modernisation
Moving workloads to Azure, AWS or hybrid cloud — and deciding case by case whether to lift-and-shift, re-platform or re-architect.
Data migration and integration
We design and run data migrations that preserve history, maintain integrity and integrate cleanly with downstream systems and reporting.
Senior IT contractor placement
Experienced contractors embedded into your team for specific engagements. No graduates billed at senior rates.
How we work.
Assess
We map your current systems, dependencies and risks. You get an honest written assessment, not a sales document.
Plan
We build a sequenced roadmap with options, trade-offs, timing and cost so decisions are informed.
Deliver
We deliver with senior consultants and clear weekly progress. The business keeps running while the modernisation happens.
CASE STUDY
Delivered a four-workstream legacy modernisation programme at Dyno Nobel Limited — ~500 application components, 30 SQL databases and DNL’s core Azure Landing Zone — across six migration waves over eleven months.
Situation
An ASX-listed global explosives manufacturer carrying material technical debt: end-of-life servers, unsupported operating systems, no cloud landing zone, and a corporate demerger requiring clean system separation before an immovable regulatory Day 1.
Action
DG Systems as Program Director. Four parallel workstreams — server uplift, application remediation, cloud landing zone establishment, remote network and voice — coordinated across Fujitsu, Logicalis and Kiandra as delivery partners.
Outcome
Core Azure Landing Zone live at end February 2025. Six migration waves completed through 2025. Modernised operational estate positioned for further modernisation under Project AIR.
