Frequently Asked Questions
The process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your application portfolio. You need to evaluate factors such as business value, user satisfaction, maintenance costs, performance issues, security risks, and alignment with current business needs. Our assessment review helps prioritize modernization efforts based on potential business impact and technical feasibility.
We typically consider several approaches, depending on the specific application and your needs:
- Rehosting (lift-and-shift): Moving the application to the cloud with minimal changes.
- Refactoring: Restructuring and optimizing the existing code without changing its external behaviour.
- Re-architecting: Materially altering the application architecture to better suit cloud-native patterns.
- Rebuilding: Redesigning and rewriting the application from scratch using modern technologies and cloud-native principles.
- Replacing: Retiring the old application and moving to a new, typically SaaS, solution.
The timeline varies greatly depending on the complexity of the application and the chosen modernization approach. Simple refactoring projects might take a few weeks, while complete rebuilds of complex applications could take several months. We typically break larger initiatives into smaller, manageable phases to deliver value incrementally.
Integration is a key consideration in our modernization process. We often implement API-led connectivity, creating well-defined interfaces that allow modernized applications to communicate seamlessly with existing systems. We also conduct thorough integration testing to ensure smooth data flow and functionality across your entire application ecosystem.
Absolutely. In many cases, a hybrid approach is the most practical solution. We can design modernization strategies that upgrade critical components while maintaining necessary legacy elements, ensuring all parts of your application ecosystem work together seamlessly.
