Legacy Application Modernization
Organizations are increasingly pressurized to deliver rapidly, while keeping costs under control. Costs involve aging support, resource turnovers, reliance on aging knowledge, and finding suitable portability to keep the infrastructures going, while the platform providers are at a speed of innovating technologies, and shelving older platforms for their knowledge base. It is therefore, an eventual push to adopt and take advantage of the latest technologies, driving business benefits.
The challenge is to decide between investing further into legacy applications, in contracts to evolving latest technologies that have inherent advantages, for newer business strategies and opportunities. This face off leads to a pragmatic approach of modernizing existing legacy application portfolios.
It is about creating a high-performance organization that can respond to change, and is ready to grow. Driven by customers, it is a key to business success and significant technology challenge, for today’s speed of thought.
Experience
Organizations including banks, utility services, & large manufacturing concerns have been facilitated thoughtfully to understand the cost of maintaining legacy systems, as against the cost of modernizing them, with advantages for years to come.
Applications were bifurcated under types and the expectation driven by each, and therefore a roll was chalked out to either amalgamate or update the applications, so that to delimit the limitations that they are currently facing, in progressing business.
Our portfolio is enriched with a large number of cases where complete business portfolios have been updated from technology perspective, so to provide flexibility in launching innovative products by the business.
Innovation today is driven by a combination of workflows, risk policies, integrations, provision of services for SOA, enhanced user experience, social media intelligence through integrations, which with legacy systems will be burden on the TCO of maintaining a business applications portfolio.
Our customers have experienced the approach that we have taken them to realize and reap results from the performance of tuning legacy into a modern day reality.
Approach
Modernization is critically dependent on the following parameters gelling well into forming a WIN WIN combination for a successful one:
People
Technology
Process
The route that we follow in order to sustain a successful modernization does have variations with respect to organization’ culture, documentation available & technology implemented:
Assessment (Process Readiness)
AS IS Analysis & Preservation
Adaptive Strategy
Process Redundancy Identification
Change Management
GAD (GAP Analysis Document)
Business/Test Cases
QA/SIT
User Acceptance
