    Managing Legacy Infrastructure Through Natural Language: IIS and Agentic AI

    • By

    Most of our projects have adopted containerization and cloud technologies. But in  reality, many legacy systems still run on bare-metal infrastructure. Sometimes because of strict security requirements, specific dependencies, or simply the cost and risk of migration. Now, we're talking about IIS (Internet Information Services) - Microsoft's web server that is still widely used in corporate environments. The problem is that managing such systems often requires direct server access, which creates a barrier for developers and increases operational complexity.

Mobile application development FAQ

Questions you may ask before developing a mobile app answered
  • The timeline to develop a custom application varies significantly depending on the complexity, core features, target platforms, and backend infrastructure.

    An MVP: 8 to 16 weeks. Designed to validate your concept quickly with core functionality, clean UI/UX, and essential integrations.

    Full-Scale Application: approximately 4 to 6 months. A complete, market-ready app featuring tailored UI/UX, multi-platform support (iOS and Android), custom backends, and third-party integrations.

    Enterprise Application: more than 6 months. Built for complex business environments, requiring legacy system integrations, advanced security and compliance requirements.

    For a detailed estimate, book an introductory call. We will discuss your specific scope and technical requirements to evaluate the complexity and provide a reliable timescale.

  • Today, many businesses launch on iOS and Android simultaneously to maximize their reach. However, starting with a single platform can still be a smart, strategic move.

    When deciding whether to launch on one platform first, consider:

    • Audience and market: target user demographics, device distribution, and geographic preference.

    • Technical and financial factors: budget, existing technology, release strategy, and required native functionality.

    Don't forget your expansion strategy. If your application does not depend heavily on platform-specific functionality, frameworks like React Native or .NET MAUI can help you build for both platforms with less duplicated effort than separate native implementations.

  • UKAD’s approach isn’t build-and-forget because our goal is to secure the long-term success of your application. During the post-launch phase, we continue supporting your app by addressing security updates, operating system changes, new feature development, and continuous improvements to performance and usability.

  • Yes. We can pick up where you left off and work with existing designs, backend APIs, and technical documentation. Before development begins, we review the available materials, identify what’s missing, and assess technical risks. Then, we agree on responsibilities between UKAD and your internal team, consider mandatory changes, and discuss possible improvements. Alternatively, we can provide dedicated mobile engineers who integrate into your existing team and work within your established development processes.

  • Our delivery methodology allows us to manage feature changes effectively. Minor adjustments are folded into upcoming work through ongoing backlog reviews and sprint planning. When larger changes arise, we conduct a clear impact assessment covering architecture, scope, timeline, and budget, ensuring you have full visibility so you can make an informed decision before implementation.

  • While Google doesn’t publish statistics on rejected submissions, Apple rejects about 25% of all submitted applications due to critical bugs, a lack of app-specific functionality, poor content, or rule violations. Our goal is to reduce this risk through pre-submission testing and review against applicable store requirements. If a rejection occurs, we assess the notice, identify the necessary changes, implement the agreed corrections, and support the resubmission process.
