Java modernization services in Riyadh
A long-term partner working almost your exact hours, with Arabic and English built in from the first screen.
Clarigo Infotech upgrades and modernizes Java applications: Java 8 or 11 to Java 17 or 21, older Spring and Spring Boot versions to current releases, javax to jakarta namespaces, and heavy application servers to lightweight containers. Where it helps, we split monoliths into services. Every step is covered by automated tests, so the application keeps working while it is upgraded.
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 our Java modernization covers
Java version upgrades
Java 8 or 11 to Java 17 or 21 LTS, including library and build-tool updates.
Spring Boot upgrades
Spring Framework and Spring Boot 1.x and 2.x to current versions, including the javax to jakarta move.
App server to containers
WebLogic, WebSphere, JBoss or Tomcat deployments moved to Docker, Kubernetes or managed cloud services.
Monolith to microservices
Carefully split large Java applications into services, only where it improves delivery or scale.
Build and CI/CD
Maven and Gradle cleanup, automated tests and pipelines that make every release safe.
Performance and security
Dependency and vulnerability fixes, JVM tuning and profiling for faster, safer applications.
How we approach Java modernization
Why move to Java 17 or 21
Newer long-term-support versions bring better performance, security updates and language features, and current Spring Boot versions require them. Staying on Java 8 means growing security and hiring risk.
Upgrade path, not a rewrite
We upgrade in stages (build tools, dependencies, language version, framework), testing at each stage, so you always have a working, releasable application.
How we work with Riyadh clients
Time-zone overlap
Saudi Arabia and Qatar are two and a half hours behind India, so our team works almost exactly your hours.
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 Riyadh's key sectors
Riyadh organisations work with us on bilingual Arabic and English apps, enterprise platforms and AI customer service on WhatsApp and voice, designed to the PDPL.
Energy and petrochemicals
Operators digitise plants, maintenance and safety. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.
Giga-projects and construction
Vision 2030 developments need project and smart-city software. From internal tools to customer platforms, built and supported by one team.
Tourism and entertainment
New destinations sell experiences to visitors online. We build the platforms, integrations and internal tools this sector relies on.
Retail and e-commerce
A young, mobile-first population shops through apps. Custom software that fits how these teams already work.

Built for how Riyadh works
Local payments
Languages
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.
