Here are some approaches that can help:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Modularisation:<\/strong> the system is divided into smaller, independent modules, which reduces complexity, and increases flexibility. Each module can be updated and maintained separately. For example, modules can be identified by applying tactical domain driven design, e.g. aggregates and sub-domains.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strategic Domain Driven Design (DDD):<\/strong> DDD organizes the architecture around the business domain by identifying bounded contexts and defining clear interfaces. This makes it easier to adapt to business requirements and promotes a clear separation of responsibilities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Strangler Fig Pattern:<\/strong> This pattern enables step-by-step modernisation by developing and integrating new functions as separate components. Old system parts are gradually replaced, allowing the existing system to remain functional during the process.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By combining these approaches, the architecture of a system can be significantly improved during modernization, resulting in a <strong>more robust, adaptable and future-proof software solution<\/strong>.[\/vc_column_text]    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1716968028934{background-color: #e8e0e0 !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;76293&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; style=&#8221;vc_box_circle_2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744121679994{padding-right: 100px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30&#8243; el_class=&#8221;only-on-mobile&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"contactDevOps\"><span class=\"TextRun SCXW123498806 BCX0\" lang=\"DE-DE\" xml:lang=\"DE-DE\" data-contrast=\"auto\"><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW123498806 BCX0\">Do you have questions about software modernisation?<\/span><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Contact our expert and find out how we can help you in a obligation-free consultation.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Dr. Michael Schackert<br \/>\n<\/strong>Tel. +49 821 885 882 36<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:michael.schackert@xitaso.com\">michael.schackert@xitaso.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner]<div class=\"container_inner\"><div class=\"call_to_action normal\" style=\"background-color: #e8e0e0;padding-bottom: 40px;\"><div class=\"two_columns_75_25 clearfix\"><div class=\"text_wrapper column1\"><div class=\"call_to_action_text \" style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"button_wrapper column2\"><a itemprop=\"url\" href=\"\/en\/appointment-booking\/\" class=\"qbutton white big_large\" target=\"_parent\" style=\"border-color: #005962;background-color:#005962;\" data-hover-border-color=#005962 >Free consultation session<\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;60px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1720953031805{background-color: #e8e0e0 !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column el_class=&#8221;padding-top-30-bottom-45&#8243;][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Software modernisation- every modern company is faced, sooner or later, with the same challenge.
