Govern & Modernize
We put a stable API in front of the system you already run. New products call that API. The old system stays up. A named engineer writes the scope before anyone changes it.
The order screen, the billing job, and the on-prem system of record can stay. What changes is how new work reaches them. We put a small, stable API in front: which records it may read, which changes it may make, who owns the contract, and how a new caller is turned off without taking the old system down. That is a different job from replacing the system, and a different job from giving a new app a database login. If the job is to move the old system onto a stack your team can keep, start with legacy software modernization. This engagement is the API in front, so new work can ship while that move is still going, or instead of a rewrite. Same idea, other angles. A phone or tablet app that needs the system behind it is Connect a mobile app to your backend or ERP. People who build these connections are Hire API and integration developers. Epic and Cerner connections are SMART on FHIR for Epic and Cerner. We have been shipping software since 2002.
What we hand back
A written API contract
Named reads and changes
The old system still up
A way to turn a caller off
Why teams call Maxiom
A portal, a mobile app, or a new checkout needs orders, customers, or inventory. A direct login to the old database couples every new screen to a schema nobody wants to touch.
Replacing the system means respecifying behavior it already encodes. Months pass. The warehouse, billing, and the night job still run on the old path, and the new product is still waiting.
If the API can update a price, post a payment, or see every column because that was easier, you did not modernize access. You handed out the keys.
Kickoff
We look at the system new work needs to reach, what it may read and change, and whether an API in front is the right first step.
You get: a clear yes or no on fit
You get a written slice: the contract, the owner, and how a caller is turned off. Not a rewrite of the system.
You get: a committed written scope
The named engineer builds the API against the system you already operate, with checkpoints you can inspect.
You get: progress you can inspect
A working API, a walkthrough, and a person who can revoke a caller without stopping the old system.
You get: an API you can keep or shut off
Scoping
Tell us your stack, timeline, and constraints. We will tell you honestly whether Maxiom is the right fit, and what a scoped engagement would look like.

The first conversation is scoping. Stack, constraints, and whether we are the right fit.
A stable API sits in front of the system you already run. New products call that API. The old system stays the place the work happens until you choose otherwise. You get a written contract: what it may read, what it may change, who owns it, and how a caller is turned off. It is not a rewrite, and it is not a database login for the new app.
No. Replacement is a different project. The first step is a contract the new work can call while billing, the warehouse, and the night job keep running. If you do want the system moved onto a stack your team can keep, start with legacy software modernization.
A short list. Read the order, the customer, or the inventory fields the new caller needs. Change only what a person has already approved, such as a status the old screen also understands. It should not update a price, post a payment, or see every column because a wide query was easier.
A named person who already owns the old system or the integration, plus a backup. That person can say what a caller did yesterday and can turn that caller off. "The team" is not an owner.
Revoke that caller's key, or flip the flag for that caller, without taking the old system down. The old screen, the old job, and the old users keep working. If the only off switch is a deploy rollback, it is not an off switch.
One new path. A customer portal that reads order status. A checkout that posts a status the old order form already understands. A mobile app that must not get a database password. Later callers reuse the same contract. They do not each get their own back door.
Systems the business still runs and nobody wants to rewrite on day one: older .NET, classic ASP, on-premises apps, and the database behind them. A .NET move, when that is the job, is .NET modernization. The API can come first so new work is not waiting on that move.
Say so on the first call. Patient records and clinical systems go through Maxiom Labs, including SMART on FHIR for Epic and Cerner. A mobile app that needs your backend or ERP is Connect a mobile app to your backend or ERP. People to put on the integration itself are Hire API and integration developers.
A 30-minute scoping call. Bring the system new work needs to reach, and the name of the person who owns it today. We will tell you if the right next step is this API, a modernization of the system itself, or someone else. You can contact us or use the form on this page.
