Modernization & migration · Saudi Arabia
Application modernization services in Saudi Arabia
A long-term partner working almost your exact hours, with Arabic and English built in from the first screen.
Clarigo Infotech modernizes and migrates legacy applications so they are secure, fast and easy to change again: PHP upgrades and migrations to modern stacks, Java 8 to Java 17 or 21 with current Spring Boot, .NET Framework to modern .NET, and monoliths split into services where it genuinely helps. We migrate step by step behind a safety net of automated tests, so your business keeps running while the software underneath gets better.
Saudi organisations most often hire us for Arabic-ready apps, AI customer service on WhatsApp and voice, and enterprise platforms.

Trust, partnership and Arabic-first products
Businesses across the Gulf value a partner they can rely on for years, available in their working hours and comfortable with Arabic, local data rules and national transformation goals.
Your hours, not ours
The Gulf is only one and a half to two and a half hours behind India, so calls, demos and fixes happen in your working day.
Arabic and English
Right-to-left layouts, Arabic content and bilingual AI assistants on WhatsApp, web and voice.
Local data rules
Hosting in the region and design that follows national personal data protection laws.
A partner for the long term
One in-house team that stays with you after launch, aligned with digital transformation programmes such as Saudi Vision 2030.
What we modernize and migrate
PHP upgrades and migration
Old PHP 5 and 7 apps upgraded to PHP 8, or moved to Laravel, Symfony, Node.js or another modern stack.
Java modernization
Java 8 to Java 17 or 21, Spring to current Spring Boot, javax to jakarta, and old app servers to containers.
.NET modernization
.NET Framework and Web Forms to modern .NET, ASP.NET Core and cross-platform hosting.
Monolith to microservices
Split a large codebase into well-defined services, one piece at a time, only where it improves speed or scale.
Front-end modernization
jQuery, AngularJS and server-rendered pages rebuilt in React or Next.js with a modern, accessible UI.
Cloud-native refactoring
Containers, managed databases, queues and serverless, so the app scales and costs less to run.
How we approach Modernization & migration
Why modernize now
Unsupported language versions stop getting security fixes, hosting gets harder, and every new feature takes longer than it should. Modernizing removes that risk and makes the software cheaper to change, without throwing away the business logic that already works.
Rewrite or refactor?
A full rewrite is rarely the safest path. We assess the code and usually recommend an incremental approach: upgrade what can be upgraded, replace the parts that block you, and keep everything that still works. You get a clear recommendation and cost for each option.
No big-bang switchover
We put automated tests and monitoring around the existing system first, then migrate in small, reversible steps, often running old and new side by side. Your users keep working, and every step can be rolled back.
Documented and handed over
You get updated documentation, a CI/CD pipeline and a codebase your own team can maintain. The same engineers can stay on for support and new features.
Remote, but close to Saudi Arabia
Time-zone overlap
Saudi Arabia is two and a half hours behind India, so our team works almost exactly your hours, with same-day calls and replies.
The Saudi Personal Data Protection Law (PDPL)
We design to the PDPL: consent, purpose limitation, access controls and encryption, with data hosted in Saudi or regional cloud regions when required. We support Arabic interfaces and sign NDAs before work starts.
Billing
Invoices in Saudi riyals (SAR) or US dollars. Typical senior rates are $25 to $49 (USD) per hour, or a fixed price for a defined scope.
Built for Saudi Arabia's key sectors
Saudi organisations work with us on Arabic and English apps, AI customer service on WhatsApp and voice, and enterprise platforms, built with local data requirements in mind.
Energy and petrochemicals
Operators digitise plants, maintenance and safety. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.
Giga-projects and construction
Vision 2030 developments need project and smart-city software. Apps for customers, staff and partners, built on one codebase.
Tourism and entertainment
New destinations sell experiences to visitors online. We design and ship iOS and Android apps for teams in this sector.
Retail and e-commerce
A young, mobile-first population shops through apps. Customer and field apps are where we usually start here.

Data hosting
Google Cloud me-central2 (Dammam), or AWS Middle East (Bahrain), in your own cloud account, so data stays where your rules require.
How it works
1. Free assessment
We review your code, dependencies, infrastructure and data, then give you a written migration plan, risks and a fixed quote.
2. Plan and safety net
We add automated tests and monitoring around what exists today, so every change can be checked against the old behaviour.
3. Migrate in small steps
Module by module, with both versions running side by side where needed. You see progress in a demo every week.
4. Cut over and support
A planned switch-over with a rollback path, then the same engineers stay on to fix, tune and keep it current.
