Many of Australia’s most critical business systems are 15, 20, even 30 years old. They’re built on technologies no longer supported, with business logic buried in code no one owns. Replacing them is risky, expensive and full of unknowns.
This guide explains how Kiandra uses modern techniques including low-code platforms, GenAI-assisted discovery, and custom-code redevelopment, to help organisations safely reimagine, rebuild and replatform these legacy systems. It’s designed for CIOs, CTOs and enterprise IT leaders ready to act but unsure where to start.
"We don’t fully understand our current system’s complexities." This is a common thing we hear. You’re not alone.
Most legacy systems evolved over years. Spreadsheets became apps. Quick fixes turned into core logic. Institutional knowledge was never documented. And now that knowledge lives in the minds of two people and one of whom just retired.
You can’t replace what you don’t understand. That’s why we start with visibility.
Legacy systems are often undocumented and opaque. Our Discovery Phase is designed to safely and efficiently reveal what’s really under the hood without disrupting business operations.

At Kiandra, we work closely with Product Owners to bridge the gap between their organisation’s needs and our delivery team’s technical expertise. This collaboration is crucial for keeping the project aligned to business goals, managing scope effectively, and ensuring value is delivered.
“How do we make sure our AI systems behave responsibly, not just accurately?” We get this question a lot. Usually after something has already gone a bit sideways. Here is the short answer: You build responsibility into AI from the very beginning. Guided by our B-Corp principles, we see responsible AI as a balance of purpose and effectiveness.
When working with clients in the earliest stages of a project, speed matters. The faster we can turn ideas into something visual, the sooner we can test assumptions, get feedback, and align on a direction. That’s where product ideation tools like Lovable come in.
