Javra Software Achieves ISO 27001 Certification: What It Means for Our Clients 

In a business environment defined by digital dependency and increasing regulatory scrutiny, the ability to protect information is fundamental to maintaining trust, resilience, and long-term value. At Javra Software, information security has long been embedded in how we operate. Achieving ISO/IEC 27001 certification formalizes this commitment and demonstrates the maturity of our approach.  Javra Software is now ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, the internationally recognized standard for information security management. This certification confirms that our information security practices are governed by a robust framework, supported by leadership accountability, and continuously improved through structured risk management and independent assurance.  This article outlines what ISO 27001 entails, how an Information Security Management System (ISMS) functions, and why this certification is particularly relevant for our customers, partners, and future clients.  What Is ISO/IEC 27001?  ISO/IEC 27001 is a globally recognized standard that defines the requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continually improving an Information Security Management System (ISMS).  The standard adopts a risk-based and enterprise-wide perspective on information security. Rather than focusing solely on technology, ISO 27001 addresses the governance, operational, and technical measures required to protect information assets across:  This integrated approach ensures information is protected consistently and proportionately, in line with business objectives and risk appetite.  Understanding the Information Security Management System (ISMS)  An ISMS is a structured management framework designed to identify, assess, and mitigate information security risks in a systematic and auditable manner.  At its foundation, the ISMS is aligned with the CIA Triad, a core principle of information security:  ISO 27001 ensures these principles are embedded into day-to-day operations, decision-making, and governance, rather than treated as isolated technical controls.  Information Security, Cybersecurity, and Privacy  ISO 27001 provides a unifying framework across three closely related domains:  Information Security  Information security encompasses the protection of information in all forms, including digital data, physical records, and intellectual property. It focuses on managing risks throughout the information lifecycle, from creation to disposal.  Cybersecurity  Cybersecurity is a subset of information security focused on protecting digital environments from evolving threats such as malware, ransomware, phishing, unauthorized access, and network vulnerabilities. ISO 27001 ensures these technical controls are supported by governance, risk assessment, and operational oversight.  Privacy  Privacy addresses the lawful, ethical, and transparent processing of personal data. While information security protects data from unauthorized access, privacy ensures that authorized use complies with regulatory and contractual obligations. ISO 27001 supports alignment with privacy and data protection frameworks, including:  For clients, this provides assurance that data is both secure and responsibly managed.  Why ISO 27001 Matters to Our Clients  ISO 27001 certification provides practical and strategic value.  For organizations operating in complex or regulated environments, these assurances are increasingly critical.  Strategic Impact for Javra  Implementing and maintaining ISO 27001 strengthens Javra’s operational and strategic capabilities:  Information security is not treated as a compliance exercise, but as a foundation for sustainable growth.  Certification, Audit, and Independent Assurance  Javra’s ISO 27001 certification has been issued by Brand Compliance, an accredited certification body operating under the oversight of the Raad voor Accreditatie (Dutch Accreditation Council) (RvA) and follows a defined certification and audit cycle.  Throughout this journey, Javra was supported by Pasquil, who provided guidance on:  This structured approach ensured that the ISMS is both compliant and operationally effective.  A Measured and Ongoing Commitment  ISO 27001 certification represents a significant milestone for Javra Software, while also reinforcing our long-term commitment to information security, privacy, and cybersecurity. For our customers and partners, it provides clear, independent assurance that information security is governed, monitored, and continuously improved today and in the future.  To learn more about how Javra’s ISO 27001 certification supports your organization’s security and compliance objectives, please contact our team.  Certification

Corporate Social Responsibility activity at Casa de São Bento

Javra’s CSR Initiative: Making a Difference This Christmas

At Javra, technology and innovation go hand in hand with responsibility. We believe that building a better future doesn’t stop at software, it also means showing up for our communities, especially when it matters most. This Christmas season, our team from Portugal, had the privilege of carrying out another Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative, this time at Casa de São Bento in Caxias. It was a meaningful day that reminded us why giving back is such an essential part of who we are. Supporting Children and Families at Casa de São Bento Casa de São Bento plays a vital role in supporting children and families in vulnerable situations. With the holiday season approaching, we wanted to contribute in a way that was both practical and heartfelt. Together, the Javra team prepared and distributed Christmas baskets filled with essential food items, school materials, and promotional gifts generously provided by one of our clients. Each basket was designed to help ease everyday challenges while bringing a bit of joy and comfort to families during this special time of year. Small Actions, Real Impact While no single initiative can solve complex social challenges, we strongly believe that small, thoughtful actions can create meaningful impact. For the children and families at Casa de São Bento, these baskets represented more than supplies, they were a reminder that they are seen, supported, and not alone. For our team, the experience was equally powerful. Spending time together outside the office, connected by a shared purpose, reinforced the human side of our work and the values that guide Javra every day. Collaboration That Goes Beyond Business This initiative was also a great example of how collaboration can extend beyond business goals. We are grateful to our client who contributed promotional items, helping us create something completer and more impactful for the families we visited. Partnerships like this demonstrate how companies can collaborate to create positive social change by pooling their resources, commitment and intentions. Our Commitment to Social Responsibility CSR at Javra isn’t a one-time effort; it’s an ongoing commitment. Whether through community support, ethical technology, or people-first values, we aim to make a positive difference wherever we can. As we move toward the end of the year, this visit to Casa de São Bento serves as a meaningful reminder: progress is not only measured by innovation, but by empathy, generosity, and action. We’re proud of our team, grateful for our partners, and inspired to continue building a future that’s better for everyone.

This program was designed to strengthen community ties and create a positive experience for local students. Our team visited three schools in Bardia, reaching approximately 243 students. During the visit, we distributed essential and promotional items such as water bottles, sunglasses, tote bags, and other goodies. These items were not just gifts—they were symbols of care and connection, and they were warmly received by both students and teachers. Schools We Reached: The response was overwhelmingly positive. Teachers and students expressed heartfelt appreciation, reminding us that small gestures can create lasting impact. This initiative reflects our commitment to corporate social responsibility (CSR) and our belief in the power of collaboration to uplift communities. Why It Matters Education is the foundation of progress, and by supporting schools, we aim to empower the next generation. Our outreach efforts go beyond business—they are about building trust, fostering goodwill, and making a real difference where it matters most Looking Ahead We plan to continue these initiatives, reaching more communities and creating opportunities for growth and learning.

Modernizing Legacy Software in 2025: A Low-Risk Playbook

Legacy platforms are rarely “bad.” In many organizations, they are the backbone of revenue, compliance, and day-to-day operations. The problem is not that legacy systems exist; it’s that market demands now move faster than architectures built a decade (or two) ago can reasonably support. When systems become inflexible, hard to integrate, or expensive to change, they stop enabling strategy and start constraining it. Software modernization is the disciplined process of migrating from those legacy tools to modern, flexible ones—through conversion, rewriting, or porting to newer languages, libraries, protocols, and platforms. But “modernization” is not a single technical project. For business leaders, it’s an operating model shift: how you deliver change, manage risk, and scale capability. This article breaks down what modernization really involves, why API- and microservice-led approaches are now dominant, and how BPM, web services, modern UI frameworks, and rules engines help de-risk and accelerate the journey. Why Modernize Now? The Business Drivers You Can Quantify Most modernization programs are triggered by one (or more) of these pressures: 1. Time-to-market is slowing.Legacy systems tend to be tightly coupled. A small change in one area requires coordinated updates across the stack, making releases slow and costly. 2. Integration has become a competitive necessity.Today’s products must exchange data with partners, mobile apps, analytics layers, and SaaS tools. Systems not designed for open integration become bottlenecks. 3. Talent and vendor risk are rising.The fewer people you can hire to maintain a legacy platform, the higher your operational risk and cost base. 4. Cost of change exceeds cost of run.A common signal is when “keeping the lights on” is cheap relative to the effort needed to add features, comply with regulations, or personalize customer experience. Modernization should be evaluated as a portfolio investment, not a one-off rewrite. Your goal is to reduce the marginal cost of change over time. Modernization Is Not a Rewrite: Three Paths and Their Trade-offs Modernization may require conversion, rewriting, or porting. In practice, the choice is rarely pure; most successful programs blend these approaches. A) Convert / Refactor in Place You keep the core system but restructure it to be modular and aligned to current needs. Best for: Systems with solid domain logic but poor maintainability or integration. B) Rewrite / Re-platform You rebuild major parts of the system on new tech. Best for: Systems whose core assumptions no longer fit the business (e.g., new product model, multi-tenant requirements). C) Port to a Modern Runtime You move the system to a supported platform/language without changing its structure much. Best for: Urgent end-of-life platform situations where time is critical. Executive takeaway: Avoid big-bang rewrites unless the business case is overwhelming. Prefer incremental modernization with measurable milestones. The API + Microservices Approach: Why It’s the Default Strategy Modern applications increasingly use APIs and microservices. This allows organizations to break old systems into task-specific modules, distribute work, and deliver in staggered releases rather than waiting for a full replacement. How it works Benefits that business leaders care about Trade-offs you must plan for Practical guidance: Modernize interfaces first, implementations second. This buys agility early while preserving business continuity. The Five Modernization Design Principles That Matter Most A modernization program should be anchored to these principles: 1) Modularity Break monoliths into bounded capabilities that can evolve independently. Metric to track: the percentage of changes that can ship without touching core legacy code. 2) Parallel Development Enable teams to deliver independently. Enabler: separate deployment pipelines per module/service. 3) Reusability Turn capability into shared assets rather than siloed features. Example: a single “Customer Profile” API reused across billing, support, and partner portals. 4) Technological Diversity Allow different stacks where justified. Rule of thumb: diversity is good at the edges; keep the core stable. 5) Rapid Business Expansion Use architecture to remove scaling constraints. Example: handle seasonal spikes by scaling only order and payment services, not the whole system. BPM as the Process Spine for Modernization Business Process Management (BPM) modernizes how work flows through an organization. It helps optimize workflows, identify bottlenecks, and enable faster changes with minimal code. What BPM adds to modernization Modernization fails when teams upgrade technology but preserve outdated processes. BPM makes processes explicit, measurable, and adaptable. With a BPM platform such as OpenEdge BPM, organizations can: Example A legacy insurance claims platform might bury process logic in code: With BPM: Trade-off: BPM platforms need strong governance and ownership. Without it, workflow logic can sprawl into a second “shadow system.” Exposing Legacy Capabilities Safely with Web Services Before you replace legacy logic, you need to unlock it for modern channels: Web services enable legacy business logic to be invoked by open clients regardless of language or platform, aligned with SOA and industry standards. Business benefit: immediate integration agility without waiting for a rewrite. Trade-off: service-enabling a legacy system increases load. Plan capacity, throttling, and caching early. Modern UI Without Rebuilding the Backend UI modernization is often the fastest business win. A modern UI layer can be built with mature frameworks and component libraries (for example, Kendo UI for Angular, React, Vue, or jQuery), giving you consistent design, strong documentation, and enterprise support. Why UI modernization works early Example A legacy ERP screen can be fronted with a React-based UI: Trade-off: modern UI layers surface backend limitations faster. That’s positive—it helps prioritize the next modernization wave. Rules Engines: Pulling Decisions Out of Code Rules engines such as Corticon separate business rules from application logic, producing deployable decision services that business and IT teams can manage without coding. Modernization payoff Legacy systems often hard-code rules: When rules change frequently, you want them to be: A rules platform supports the full lifecycle—from requirement capture to testing and deployment—so decision logic evolves quickly without destabilizing your core systems. Example A lending platform externalizes credit policy: Trade-off: rules engines require disciplined versioning, testing, and auditing. They are not “set and forget.” A Step-by-Step Modernization Roadmap (Incremental, Low-Risk) Phase 1: Assess and slice Output: modernization backlog prioritized by measurable business outcomes. Phase 2: Service-enable legacy

Vizurio: The Vision Behind Our Next Chapter

When I founded Javra in 1999, I didn’t just start a company—I began a journey shaped by curiosity, courage, and a belief that technology could bring people and businesses closer together. I had no idea then how far that belief would take us. But I did know one thing: if we focused on solving real problems and building real relationships, something meaningful would grow. Javra Nepal at IT Park Banepa, 2006 My very first client—one of the world’s leading suppliers in the promotional items industry—became more than just a customer. They became a partner whose trust shaped our direction and, in many ways, our identity. Where It All Began Our early challenge was a big one: build a custom ERP system that could unify operations across every European country. The internet was slow, technology was limited, and the scope was huge. But we didn’t back down. We worked with passion, creativity, and determination. We ended up creating something ahead of its time—a single, flexible ERP platform built on one structure and one codebase, customized for each location. It still runs today. That longevity reminds me why we do what we do: to build solutions that matter, that last, and that make people’s work easier. Growing Together As our partnership grew, so did our dreams. We co-created their successful webshop and many other innovative solutions. Every project taught us something new, not just about technology, but about collaboration, trust, and the power of believing in each other’s ideas. The Spark That Became Vizurio Eight years ago, a simple idea changed everything:“What if customers could see their logos on products instantly?“ At that time, nothing in the market felt right—tools were either too basic or too complicated. So we built our own. Slowly. Carefully. Learning at each step. And when our client told us they had the best visualization tool in the industry, we felt a spark. A spark that told us this idea was bigger than we thought. A Vision for an Entire Industry Two years ago, we made a bold decision.We believed this tool could help not just one company, but the entire promotional products industry and beyond. That belief became Vizurio. We brought together the strength of our team—130 talented people across the Netherlands, Nepal, and Portugal—each with their own stories, skills, and passion. Together, we built on decades of experience in e-commerce, digital asset management, and promotional products. But what truly shaped Vizurio wasn’t just technology. It was our vision: to make product visualization simple, smart, and accessible to everyone. Vizurio in Action Where We Stand Today Today, Vizurio is more than a platform. It’s the result of years of hard work, shared dreams, lessons learned, and endless curiosity. Vizurio now offers: And beyond all that, we support our clients every step of the way—through implementation, 3D modeling, and building complete e-commerce experiences. And We’re Just Getting Started Our R&D and AI teams are quietly working on features that will reshape how people interact with products online. Some of these ideas are so new that we’re not ready to reveal them yet—but they’re coming, and they excite us every single day. Vizurio’s journey is still in its early chapters.If you’d like to follow what comes next, join us on our Vizurio LinkedIn page or visit our website. The future of product visualization is unfolding right now—and I would be honored to have you be part of that story. – Frank Mollers, CEO Javra Software
