Cloudhouse offers housing associations risk-free route to IT modernisation

A staggering 70% of UK housing associations are still running critical applications on unsupported or outdated IT infrastructure, exposing essential services and data to security and compliance risks.

With Microsoft Silverlight now obsolete and legacy applications like Civica Keystone becoming increasingly unstable, the sector is at risk of exposure to operational disruptions and security breaches.

In response, Cloudhouse, the UK company that liberates critical business applications from legacy technology dependencies, has launched a new campaign to support housing associations in maintaining or migrating legacy applications – such as Keystone – to modern platforms without the cost, risk, or disruption of re-development.

'Legacy systems are holding housing associations back when they are under enormous pressure to serve public demand,' said Mat Clothier, CEO at Cloudhouse. 'But modernisation doesn’t need to mean rewrites or starting from scratch. Our approach "wraps" applications like Keystone so they run smoothly on modern infrastructure - with zero code changes, and a full money-back guarantee.'

Cloudhouse’s solution is already being used by several UK housing associations to:

• Run Keystone and other legacy applications in modern, secure environments

• Avoid costly and disruptive redevelopment projects and renewal fees

• Achieve compliance with evolving security and IT governance standards

• Modernise IT estates without compromising operational continuity

Powered by Alchemy, Cloudhouse makes complex, business-critical applications portable without changing a single line of code. Combined with Guardian, which continuously monitors server configurations and flags unauthorised changes, Cloudhouse ensures stability, security, and compliance for organisations.
