LASO by Pragmatk
Is legacy software holding your business back?
Most organizations are constrained not by strategy or ambition, but by the software systems they already rely on.
What is LASO by Pragmatk?
LASO is Pragmatk’s operating model for owning, stabilizing, and improving legacy software systems so organizations do not need to depend on individuals to keep them running.
What we do:
We manage, improve, and de-risk legacy software systems over time.
We go beyond support and maintenance
We provide structured ownership, visibility, and accountability
LASO treats software as a living system, not a completed project.
The Problems LASO Solves
Legacy systems rarely fail outright. They become fragile.
Over time, organizations accumulate software that:
Depends on a small number of long-tenured individuals
Is difficult to change safely
Requires constant manual intervention
Creates hesitation rather than confidence
When those individuals retire or leave, risk becomes immediate.
LASO exists to eliminate that dependency.
How LASO Works
01
Clear Ownership
We take responsibility for system health and create clear visibility into behavior, dependencies, and recurring issues.
Less Noise, Fewer Surprises
02
We address recurring incidents, brittle workflows, and manual processes that increase cost and risk.
Knowledge that Scales
03
Institutional knowledge is captured, documented, and embedded into repeatable processes so systems do not depend on specific individuals.
Progress Without Disruption
04
Systems are stabilized and improved in controlled steps, without forcing large rewrites or pausing operations.
LASO work is managed through a shared operational dashboard that provides real-time visibility into issues, ownership, and progress across legacy systems.
How Work Is Managed
Pragmatk reduces reliance on individual knowledge by resolving repetitive issues, streamlining workflows, and monitoring operations. As knowledge is shared across teams, systems become easier to manage and safer to modify. A centralized dashboard tracks issues, progress, and ownership, replacing ad hoc communication with shared visibility and transparency.
LASO replaces ad hoc communication and tribal knowledge with structured, transparent operations managed on the client's behalf.

Why Pragmatk
Pragmatk specializes in building and operating software systems that scale through discipline, not headcount.
LASO reflects how modern engineering organizations manage complexity over time: clear ownership, small senior teams, and systems that do not depend on heroics.
