Questions
Frequently asked.
Will you rewrite everything?
Almost never. A full rewrite stops the business and repeats old mistakes. We change the system in stages, so users never see the rebuild.
What do you need from us to start?
Access to the code repository and, ideally, to the hosting account. If something is missing, the audit says so.
