Digital transformation is often loud—disruption, pivoting, reinvention. But in Newcastle, it’s happening in a different tone: quiet, strategic, and deeply rooted in legacy systems that matter.

🏛️ Built on legacy, not buried by it

Newcastle’s financial services, public sector bodies, and long-standing institutions face a familiar challenge: systems that have stood the test of time, but now need to evolve. Rather than ripping everything out, local teams are choosing to integrate, extend, and modernise—with care.

🔄 Modern tools, familiar responsibilities

We’ve seen a rise in smart adoption of low-code platforms, API layers, and cloud-native wrappers around existing software. The goal isn’t trendy—it’s continuity. Keeping services running for real people while making things easier to maintain in the future.

🌉 Bridging generations of tech

What’s powerful about Newcastle’s tech scene is its ability to bridge age gaps—in both infrastructure and talent. From veterans maintaining COBOL logic to new grads deploying containerised services, the collaboration is practical, not performative.

💡 Human-centred transformation

Digital projects here are led by real user needs. Whether it’s health systems, city council services, or fintech innovation, Newcastle’s teams are grounded in impact—designing for resilience, accessibility, and community benefit.

DevRoom has helped clients navigate the same terrain: legacy systems, high-stakes environments, and the need to modernise with precision. We don’t believe in breaking things for the sake of it—we build with respect for what works, and a plan for what’s next.
