APPROACHES TO MODERNIZATION

CLOUD NATIVE OR CLOUD ENABLED

Moving your applications to the cloud (cloud enabling) is a proven method of modernizing your IT infrastructure and making it available all the time. Re-engineering parts or all of your application so that it’s built-for-the-cloud (Cloud Native) while migrating gives you he added advantage of an application that is extremely reliable, scalable and uses platform services that avoids vendor lock-in.

CONTAINERS

Containerization enables an application to be packaged in consistent, lightweight ways so that they can run consistently across desktop, cloud, or on-premises
environments. It also makes the application extremely portable. This gives tremendous flexibility for applications being modernized and cloud enabled.

DATA

Get data out of your siloed applications and make them available to your users where they need them. Today’s users are used to having information presented to them even before they ask for it. Think Netflix’s movie suggestions, Amazon’s accurate product placement on your home page, Facebook and LinkedIn’s friend and news suggestions. Creating a centralized data repository that can be mined for information and patterns opens up vast opportunities to your business.

ARCHITECT & DESIGN FOR THE FUTURE

Using a distributed service oriented architecture goes a long way in future proofing your application. You can adapt quickly to changes by taking this approach, replacing or re-platforming only those modules that require a change. We are experts in Service Oriented Architecture, Microservices and API development and management. These together gives you extreme flexibility, reliability and scalability.

AUTOMATE YOUR WORKFLOWS

Automation is the key to achieving a scalable and reliable solution. But, automation doesn’t always have to be expensive or extensive re-engineering effort. While this is desirable for the best outcome, it may not be the appropriate approach. Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Service Bus, Data Lakes and Warehouses are other ways to automate and modernize your application without a complete re-engineering effort.

MODERNIZE YOUR USER EXPERIENCE

A great user experience across different devices goes a long way in gaining user acceptance and customer satisfaction. To achieve this, it has to be intuitively designed and easy to use. Using cross-platform UI technologies, you can deliver a consistent experience using a single code base. This reduces development cost and the total cost of ownership.

EXPOSE FUNCTIONALITIES VIA APIs

It may not always be possible to migrate an application to modern platforms and technologies. Think of a banking application or an airline ticketing system running on a mainframe system with complex business rules that have been in place for several decades. In such cases, it may be prudent to leave the application as it is and expose it’s functionalities through secure APIs.
