WHAT WE DO
Modernisation work for organisations that can’t afford to break what’s running.
Four practices, one focus: getting established Australian businesses off the legacy systems that are slowing them down — without the chaos.
DG Systems helps organisations modernise mission-critical systems, infrastructure and data. Every engagement is led by senior consultants, planned for the actual constraints you’re operating under, and delivered without taking the business offline.
Legacy system assessment and modernisation roadmap.
Most organisations know they need to modernise. Far fewer know which system to start with, what the dependencies are, and what each option will cost in time, money and risk.
We spend time with your people and your systems, then produce a written assessment and sequenced roadmap with options, costs and trade-offs.
Typical engagements
- 6–12 week assessment producing a written modernisation roadmap.
- Application portfolio assessment for boards considering acquisition, divestment or restructure.
- End-of-vendor-support response planning.
- Pre-cloud migration assessment and target architecture.
What you get
- Honest current-state assessment.
- Prioritised roadmap with costs and timing.
- Risk-weighted recommendations the board can act on.
Cloud migration and application modernisation.
Lift-and-shift often creates a messy production environment. We help decide what to lift, re-platform, re-architect or leave alone.
Typical engagements
- On-premises to Azure or AWS migration programmes.
- Hybrid cloud architectures.
- Re-platforming legacy applications.
- Post-migration cost optimisation.
What you get
- Per-workload migration strategy.
- Senior engineers building and running the migration.
- Cutover plan with rollback, tested.
Platforms: Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365, Kubernetes, Terraform, GitHub and Azure DevOps.
Data migration and integration.
Modernisation programmes live and die on data. We design and run data migrations that preserve history, maintain integrity and keep reporting working.
Typical engagements
- ERP, CRM, billing and finance migrations.
- ETL and data pipeline design.
- Legacy data warehouse modernisation.
- System-to-system integration.
What you get
- Data migration design that protects integrity.
- Tested cutover and reconciliation procedures.
- Downstream systems that keep working.
Senior IT contractor placement.
Sometimes you need a senior contractor embedded in your team for the duration of a piece of work — and gone again when the work is done.
Typical roles we place
- Solution architects.
- Senior software engineers.
- Project and programme managers.
- Cloud, platform and data engineers.
