When the WA Health system needed to replace a 25-year-old platform used to manage and process payments for more than 1,000 contracted medical professionals, the pressure was on.

What if your logistics system could give you back 140 hours a day? That’s not a typo. That’s what MONSON, one of Australia’s top global shipping specialists, achieved when they partnered with Kiandra to rebuild their logistics software from the ground up.

Modernising legacy systems is one of the most critical and complex challenges facing today’s IT leaders. Whether you're in government, finance, or education, the pressure to replace ageing infrastructure with agile, user-friendly, cloud-based platforms is real.

Choosing a software development partner has always been a critical decision but when AI enters the mix, the stakes get even higher. You’re not just hiring a team to write code. You’re trusting them to help you navigate emerging technologies, manage risk, and deliver long-term value with tools that are still evolving.

Legacy systems are becoming increasingly costly to maintain and dangerously slow to adapt. As customer expectations grow and compliance requirements shift, traditional software development methods can’t keep up. AI-assisted development offers a new path forward, accelerating modernisation without compromising quality.

Modernising legacy systems isn’t just a technical challenge, it’s a strategic decision that impacts your entire organisation. And with AI now transforming how modernisation happens, the question isn’t if you should modernise, but how to do it faster, safer, and more intelligently.

Low-code platforms like OutSystems are transforming how complex software is built - especially in regulated industries like government, healthcare, and financial services. But success with low-code isn’t guaranteed just because the platform is powerful. The difference between a successful project and a stalled one often comes down to the implementation partner.

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.

When you’re facing a high-stakes technology project - tight deadlines, legacy systems, and immovable compliance requirements - the margin for error is zero. But the challenge isn’t just the project itself. It’s choosing the right software partner to deliver it.
