Application Modernization

Application modernization is the key to unlocking the true potential of your business. By upgrading legacy applications to cloud-native platforms, you can enhance the agility, scalability, and security of your IT infrastructure while reducing costs and improving business outcomes.

Our six steps for modernization success

Assessment

We will help you evaluate  the current application landscape to identify opportunities for modernization. This includes an analysis of the application architecture, infrastructure, user experience, and data sources. We conduct a thorough analysis of your digital environment, including technology, processes, and people, and provide actionable recommendations to optimize your solutions and drive long-term success

The assessment stage is the first and critical stage of application modernization. It involves an in-depth evaluation of the current application landscape to identify the areas that need modernization. This includes analyzing the existing application architecture, infrastructure, and user experience. The assessment is conducted by a team of experts who work closely with the business stakeholders to understand the current pain points and challenges that the existing applications are causing.

The assessment stage is vital in identifying the areas of improvement and opportunities for modernization. It helps to understand the current limitations and constraints of the legacy application landscape, assess the feasibility of modernization, and provide a roadmap for the modernization journey. During the assessment stage, the team identifies the applications that are suitable for modernization, the expected benefits, the scope of the modernization project, the estimated cost, and the timeline for the project.

Strategy

Based on the assessment, a modernization strategy is developed to outline the scope, timeline, and budget of the project. This stage also involves identifying the technology stack, custom experience specifications, data/analytics requirements, and cloud platform for the modernized application. We work closely with our clients to develop a comprehensive strategy, leveraging the latest technologies and best practices to achieve their goals.

Once the assessment is complete, the next stage is planning. The planning stage is where the modernization plan is developed, outlining the scope, timeline, and budget of the project. The modernization plan is based on the assessment findings and outlines the steps required to modernize the application.

The planning stage is critical to the success of the modernization project. The team identifies the technology stack and cloud platform that will be used for the modernized application. It includes developing a detailed project plan, which outlines the tasks, timelines, resources, and deliverables. The planning stage also involves identifying the risks and mitigation plans for the project.

Architect & Build

This stage involves architecting & developing the modernized application using the identified technology stack and cloud platform. This may include redesigning the application architecture, refactoring the code, and implementing new features and functionality.

The solution architecture and build stage involves the actual modernization of the application. It includes redesigning the application architecture, refactoring the code, and implementing new features and functionality. This stage is crucial to ensure that the modernized application meets the required performance, security, and scalability requirements.

The development stage requires a highly skilled team of developers who have experience in the latest modernization technologies. The team works closely with the business stakeholders to ensure that the modernized application meets the user requirements. It includes using the latest development methodologies such as Agile or DevOps to ensure rapid and efficient development. The development stage also involves rigorous testing to ensure that the modernized application meets the expected outcomes.

QA / Testing

The modernized application undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets the performance, security, and scalability requirements. Our QA and testing services are focused on ensuring that digital solutions meet the highest quality standards and release criteria.

Learn More

The QA and testing stage is critical to ensure that the modernized application meets the required performance, security, and scalability requirements. The testing stage involves a series of tests that validate the functionality and performance of the modernized application. The tests include load testing, stress testing, and security testing.

The testing stage is essential to ensure that the modernized application meets the required performance and security standards. It helps to identify any issues and bugs in the modernized application and enables the development team to fix them before deployment.

DevOps / Deployment

Once testing is complete, the modernized application is deployed to the target environment. Automated deployment through a well-defined DevOps pipeline is critical to the modern digital product lifecycle.

Learn More

The deployment stage involves deploying the modernized application to the target environment. This stage is crucial to ensure that the modernized application is available for the end-users. The deployment involves moving the application from the development environment to the production environment.

The deployment stage requires a highly skilled team of developers and DevOps professionals who have experience in deploying applications to cloud platforms. The team works closely with the business stakeholders to ensure that the deployment is seamless and does not cause any disruptions to the business operations.

Optimization

This stage involves ongoing monitoring and optimization of the modernized application to ensure it continues to meet business and user requirements. It may also involve continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to support agile development practices.

Learn More

The optimization stage involves ongoing monitoring and optimization of the modernized application to ensure that it continues to meet business and user requirements. It involves continuous monitoring of the application’s performance and security, identifying areas of improvement, and implementing changes to enhance the application’s performance.

The optimization stage requires a highly skilled team of professionals who have experience in the latest monitoring and optimization tools. The team works closely with the business stakeholders to ensure that the modernized application continues to meet the business requirements
