GeneXus modernization for regulated systems

Modernize GeneXus with a phased, low-risk plan that protects production and keeps the business moving.

Start with a focused review of KBs, production constraints, and upgrade risk.

What this engagement helps you secure

Phased GeneXus modernization grounded in release safety

We plan and execute GeneXus modernization in controlled increments, starting with a clear assessment of your KBs, risky areas, and the safeguards needed to keep production stable.

01

Safer upgrades, easier to approve

Phased delivery with rollback options gives you a controlled path forward, without putting production at the center of the risk.

02

A supported technical base

Move to a GeneXus version with active vendor support, reducing maintenance and compliance exposure.

03

Less dependency on key people

Automation, CI/CD, and documented runbooks spread knowledge across the team.

Key benefits

What teams gain first

The first wins should be visible, structured, and tied to lower delivery risk.

Safer upgrades, easier to approve

Phased delivery with rollback options gives you a controlled path forward, without putting production at the center of the risk.

A supported technical base

Move to a GeneXus version with active vendor support, reducing maintenance and compliance exposure.

Less dependency on key people

Automation, CI/CD, and documented runbooks spread knowledge across the team.

More stability in critical processes

Automated checks and stronger observability help issues surface in testing, not in production.

The challenge

GeneXus on legacy versions, with production exposed to avoidable risk

Problem

The problem

When GeneXus versions age out, teams lose support, upgrades get harder to approve, and every change starts to feel like a production bet.

  • xLegacy GeneXus versions that limit support and delay new capabilities
  • xUnknown dependencies and custom code that increase upgrade risk
  • xReleases concentrated in a few people, with fragile critical flows
  • xManual deployments with no CI/CD discipline
  • xLittle automated testing or observability around key transactions

Solution

The solution

We plan and execute GeneXus modernization in controlled increments, starting with a clear assessment of your KBs, risky areas, and the safeguards needed to keep production stable.

Outcome

  • +Inventory KBs, generators, patterns, and external integrations to map blockers
  • +Design phased upgrade paths with rollback options and low-downtime windows
  • +Refactor risky areas and add automated checks around critical transactions
  • +Set up CI/CD pipelines and deployment practices aligned to your environments
  • +Improve monitoring and logging so issues surface before users do

How we work

Our approach

Controlled delivery with senior engineers who know your stack.

01

Assessment

We review your KBs, generators, integrations, and deployment practices to size the effort and identify blockers.

Inventory KBs, patterns, generators, and external dependencies
Identify high-risk areas and custom code that needs refactoring
Align on priority modules and the first upgrade target
02

Phased delivery

We execute upgrades in small batches, with joint testing, controlled releases, and weekly progress reviews.

Deliver upgrades module by module with clear rollback checkpoints
Run joint regression testing before each release
Document decisions and update runbooks as we go
03

Transfer and continuity

We build CI/CD, transfer knowledge, and leave your team able to maintain the gains without depending on us.

Set up CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation
Train your team on new patterns and tooling
Produce upgrade documentation and architecture decision records

GeneXus migrations for regulated clients executed with service continuity maintained throughout — phased approach with rehearsal cutovers and rollback at every checkpoint

Typical modernization timeline

From KB assessment to first rehearsed upgrade delivery — exact scope defined after the initial review based on KB size and complexity

GeneXus modernization fails most often when it is treated as a single high-risk event rather than a controlled sequence of incremental changes. This service is built around phased delivery with rehearsed cutovers and defined rollback at every checkpoint.

Proof from the field

Eximus migrated a live card platform from GeneXus 8 to 16 for MINERVA CREDIT without unplanned service interruption. A parallel environment, rehearsal cutovers and automated checks around critical card transactions kept the platform available throughout. See the MINERVA CREDIT case study for the full account.

For ITSARC's credit risk platform, Eximus executed a controlled migration to supported GeneXus versions while keeping regulatory reporting cycles on schedule throughout. See the ITSARC case study for details.

What we bring

Engineers with hands-on GeneXus upgrade experience in regulated banking and financial services environments. We know the specific failure modes of legacy KBs — and we plan around them before the first cutover, not after.

Editorial perspective

Context on this topic

GeneXus modernization gets risky when teams move before they understand the real object inventory, dependencies, and migration blockers inside the system.

FAQ

Common questions

We have experience upgrading from GeneXus 14/15/16 to 17 and 18. The viable target depends on your generators and custom code, and we assess that during the initial review.
