These are sensitive subjects on which software engineering companies are usually quite cagey and guarded until they have more information of what the challenges of a particular project happen to be. And they are right, because the devil does lie in the details, and it is almost impossible to accurately predict the time and cost involved in a particular modernization project without examining the source code base in detail.

However, we understand your eagerness to get some sense of what you can expect. Therefore, we provide some estimates below for your academic knowledge.

How long would a typical modernization project take?

A typical modernization/migration project of 1 million lines-of-code takes between 3-8 months depending on complexity.

A typical documentation project takes between 1-3 months depending on complexity.

A typical Data Migration, Web-enablement or SOA-enablement project takes between 1-3 months depending on complexity.

How much would a typical modernization project cost?

A typical modernization/migration project of 1 million lines-of-code costs between $1 - $1.5 million depending on complexity.

A typical documentation project costs between $250K - $350K depending on complexity.

A typical Data Migration, Web-enablement or SOA-enablement project can costs anywhere from $200K and up depending on complexity.

Our pricing model

We can price our projects on: (a) Fixed Cost; (b) Per line-of-code; (c) Mixture of Fixed Cost (for transformation) and Time-&-Material (for enhancements).
