Application Modernization
Application Modernization
Well, all CTOs & CIOs will agree that your enterprise needs to do the same too with the monolithic Legacy Applications hosted on age-old hardware and run on age-old technologies. With the rapid changes in technologies and business landscape, expanding user requirements, and availability of Cloud infrastructure, Application Modernization is now inevitable, as Legacy Apps are not equipped to meet today’s ever-changing requirements.
Why Do Enterprises Need Application Modernization?
Scalability of Cloud-based Resources
Modernized Apps leverage the scalability of Cloud Infrastructure i.e. resource auto-scaling, whereby required computer resources are added, removed, and optimized dynamically, according to user demands.
Cutting Edge Innovation
Legacy Apps are mostly static by nature, with little or no scope for innovation. On the other hand, by its very nature, Legacy Application modernization offers a conducive eco-system for adding Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning (ML) tools & technologies, and Data Mining & Analytics into the mix.
Enhanced Customer Experience
Modernized apps hosted in a Cloud environment dramatically improve the customer and user experience by enabling new services and processes with a more user-friendly digital or GUI interface. This enhanced user experience is sure to wow your esteemed customers!
Data Security and Stability
While there was a lot of initial skepticism, Cloud environments generally provide high levels of Data Security and Stability to the Modernized Application.
Build a New Revenue Stream
A Modernized App allows your business to create new services and processes that add value to the customer and create new revenue streams for your enterprise.
Business Agility and Future Readiness:
In the complex and ever-evolving business landscape, Legacy Software Modernization safeguards your enterprise from any disruptive swings in the business, due to the flexibility and scalability of the Cloud, making your business more Agile and ‘Future Ready’ too!
Reduced Competition
All the above factors delivered through legacy app modernization give your enterprise or business a winning edge against your competitors, expanding business horizons, and help your enterprise, scale greater heights.
Strategies for App Modernization
There are various DevOps migration strategies and solutions for Legacy System Modernization that can be adopted by your enterprise according to its unique requirement and scenario:
Rehost
their existing environment and platform, and hosting them onto a virtual, or Cloud infrastructure, without making any significant changes.
Refactor
Refactoring is an attempt to make minimal modifications to optimize and
restructure the code
of the existing Legacy Apps to take advantage of the Cloud-based environment features like resource auto-scaling.
Rearchitect
Re-architecting involves moving to new application architecture and re-engineering the existing code to
exploit most capabilities of the Cloud-based environment while ensuring that the original scope, functionality, and behavior is retained.
Rebuild
In the Rebuild strategy, the components of the Legacy application are rewritten i.e. rebuilt according to the
original scope and specifications. Cloud-native features and external third-party APIs integration can be exploited to the hilt under the Rebuild strategy.
Replace
The Replace strategy is used when it is determined that the existing Legacy App is no longer
maintainable and needs to be scrapped entirely, and replaced with a brand new app that is completely redesigned and recoded from scratch, using a fresh approach.
Our Approach
Benefits of Application Modernization
There are huge benefits for your enterprise, which make our Application Modernization Solutions a compelling proposition:
Lower Cost of Ownership
The flexibility of a scalable Cloud infrastructure significantly reduces and eliminates costly upfront Capital Expenditure (CAPEX), replacing it with a manageable, scalable, and lower operating expense (OPEX).
Lower Maintenance Costs
In contrast with Modernized Apps, Legacy Applications and code require a constant rebuild and code refactoring as they typically grow beyond their maintainability threshold over time. This results in higher application incidents and huge maintenance costs.
Increased Staff Productivity & Lower Hiring Costs
The fewer application incidents upon upgrade lead to improved team utilization. Also, the new features and functionality of the modernized applications are built to help your employees and make them happy. Consequently, productivity increases while employee hiring and retention costs are dramatically reduced.
Digital Transformation & APIs
Legacy App Modernization is accompanied by the Digital Transformation of your business. Now, your enterprise Apps can significantly benefit from the integration of various APIs available, without the need to re-invent it
