Sherpa Legacy

Modernize the legacy. Keep the roadmap moving.

Legacy software does not have to stop working to start holding your team back. Releases slow as system knowledge fades and integrations become harder to manage. Eventually, the architecture gets in the way of cloud, AI, and product initiatives.

Sherpa Legacy combines Proshore engineers with AI-supported modernization workflows to help understand and evolve existing software without putting the current product on hold.

Your team stays in control while Proshore adds capacity and Sherpa helps the work move faster.

THE PROBLEM

When the software still works, but changing it gets harder.

Most legacy systems do not suddenly fail. Friction builds gradually until maintaining the existing product competes with moving the business forward.

Slower releases

Changes require more effort and coordination before they can safely reach production.

Knowledge trapped in the system

Critical architecture and technical context becomes concentrated in a few engineers.

Harder integrations

Older architecture makes connecting new platforms, services, and capabilities increasingly expensive.

The roadmap gets blocked

Maintenance consumes engineering capacity while cloud, AI, and product initiatives become harder to execute.

A full rewrite can create even more cost and disruption.
Sherpa Legacy helps teams modernize in controlled phases while the existing software keeps running.
HOW SHERPA LEGACY WORKS

Build the context first. Modernize with confidence.

Modernization becomes risky when engineers have to rediscover the system before they can safely change it.

Sherpa Legacy brings AI-assisted system understanding together with Proshore engineering expertise, so modernization happens with better context and less guesswork.

1.Understand

Build context around the codebase, architecture, dependencies, and technical debt.

2.Validate

Strengthen documentation, testing, and system visibility before major changes.

3.Modernize

Refactor, replatform, extract, or rebuild the components where change creates the most value.

4.Monitor

Keep production signals, issues, and engineering context connected as the software continues evolving.

WHY PROSHORE + SHERPA

Modernization without another transformation layer.

Large modernization programs can make already complex systems even harder to manage. Proshore works inside your existing engineering environment instead.

Your team keeps ownership

Your internal team stays in control of product direction, architecture, and priorities.

Proshore adds capacity

Experienced engineers work alongside your existing organization instead of creating a detached transformation team.

Sherpa strengthens the workflow

AI-supported analysis, documentation, testing, and engineering context help the modernization team work more effectively.

Enterprise-quality modernization execution without building an enterprise-sized transformation program around it.
BUILT FROM REAL ENGINEERING WORK

Built around production software. Not AI demos.

Sherpa Legacy grows from modernization and engineering problems Proshore teams have already encountered in real software environments.

01

SiteGuru

De Heus

SiteGuru

Proof of phased modernization

SiteGuru had a backend developed over years, an aging CakePHP stack, increasing development friction, and growing scalability pressure.

Proshore moved the platform toward Laravel and microservices in phases, with old and new systems operating alongside each other so customers could continue using the product.

The delivery approach behind Sherpa Legacy is already visible in work such as SiteGuru.
02

DPL

Udea

DPL

Where the tooling story began

Proshore engineers were already dealing with the friction of debugging, testing, understanding, and evolving live software inside the DPL environment.

Internal engineering automation developed around that work helped shape the tooling story that evolved toward Sherpa Legacy.

Sherpa Legacy grew from solving real engineering problems instead of creating an AI product for its own sake.
