Legacy modernisation & process automation
From legacy to leading edge: Through digitisation, automation and AI
The great legacy escape — ditch the spreadsheets, drop the paper, modernise for what’s next
Across government, the burden of outdated, legacy IT systems and manual processes is real.
There’s a reason they hang around. They’re familiar. They sort of work.
Until they don’t.
Spreadsheets, manual data entry, and fragmented databases may have done the job once. But today, they slow you down, lock away critical information, hinder data sharing, and make security breaches a real risk.
In national security environments, that’s not just inconvenient — it’s dangerous.
At Zaizi, we help government organisations leave those legacy problems behind and build the foundations for AI-ready innovation.

Digitise, automate and innovate government operations
Digitise
Transform manual and legacy processes into streamlined, secure digital workflows — so information flows freely and securely
Automate
Replace outdated systems and create immediate efficiency gains through process automation — so data is collected faster, in a consistent format and shared easily between systems.
Innovate
Build the essential data foundations required for innovation and AI integration — so organisations can make smarter decisions and achieve productivity gains.
Why Zaizi?
Tackling legacy systems isn’t just about implementing new technology. It’s about understanding how to navigate the challenges.
For over 15 years, we’ve helped government organisations responsible for national security deal with these complexities.
We know the landscape, the regulations, and the need for secure and efficient operations.

Unlock efficiency today. Build an AI-ready future for tomorrow
Big changes can feel overwhelming. That’s why we start with something simple: Transformation Day.
It’s a structured, collaborative approach that we’ve used with other secure government organisations with great success.
We work with you to:
- Understand your current challenges
- Spot the biggest opportunities for quick wins
- Map a phased plan for digitisation, modernisation, automation and AI
It’s a low-risk, high-value first step — designed to give you momentum and confidence about what’s next. A Transformation Day may not be right for your needs but we’re happy to share our experience and insights.
Whether you’re looking for immediate efficiency gains, a more secure digital infrastructure, or a roadmap to AI readiness, reach out if you’d like to find out more.
