Application Modernization Assessment

Do you have an Application that needs to be brought into the modern age?

Our Application Modernization Assessment is meticulously structured to evaluate your current application portfolio and pinpoint opportunities for modernization. This process involves a detailed examination of your existing application landscape, identifying areas that are outdated or inefficient, and determining the best strategies for modernization. We thoroughly assess each application to understand its architecture, dependencies, performance, and how well it aligns with your business objectives.

Inventory & Analysis

Take stock of all existing applications, including their current state, technology stack, architecture, dependencies, and performance metrics. This comprehensive inventory aids in understanding the scope and complexity of the application landscape.

Identifying Business Objectives

Aligning the modernization strategy with business goals is essential. This includes understanding how application changes can support improved efficiency, cost savings, enhanced customer experience, or other business priorities.

Technical Evaluation

A deep dive into the technical aspects of each application, assessing factors like code quality, scalability, maintainability, and security. It also evaluates how well each application integrates with other systems and whether it meets current and future business needs.

Prioritization of Applications

Not all applications will require the same level of modernization. Some might need a full re-platforming or re-architecting, while others might only need minor updates.

Determining Modernization Approaches

Various modernization approaches can be considered, such as re-hosting, re-platforming , refactoring/re-architecting, or even replacing/rebuilding the application from scratch.

Roadmap Creation

Based on the assessment, a detailed modernization roadmap is created. This includes timelines, budgets, resource allocation, and a phased approach to modernizing each application.

Risk Assessment & Mitigation Strategies

Identifying potential risks and challenges associated with modernizing each application and planning strategies to mitigate these risks.

Compliance and Security Considerations

Ensuring that modernized applications comply with relevant regulations and standards and that security is integrated into the modernization process.

Our Application Modernization Assessment Process

At CloudServus, our goal is to uncover potential enhancements that can be made, whether through re-platforming, refactoring, or re-architecting, and to develop a comprehensive plan for modernizing your applications.

Step #1: Assessment and Planning

This step involves a comprehensive review and analysis of the existing application portfolio. It includes cataloging applications, assessing their current state, technology stack, and performance. The focus is also on aligning the modernization strategy with business objectives and conducting a deep technical evaluation of each application. Prioritization is based on various factors such as business value, modernization costs, associated risks, and the effort required.

Step #2: Strategy Development

In this phase, the focus shifts to developing a strategic approach for application modernization. It involves determining the most suitable modernization pathway for each application, which can range from simple updates to complete re-architecture. This step is crucial for laying out a detailed modernization roadmap, encompassing timelines, budgeting, resource allocation, and a step-by-step approach for the modernization of each application.

Step #3: Risk Management & Compliance

The final step concentrates on identifying potential risks and challenges that may arise during the modernization process and devising strategies to mitigate these risks. Additionally, this step ensures that the modernization efforts adhere to relevant compliance standards and integrate robust security measures, maintaining the integrity and security of the modernized applications in line with regulatory requirements and best practices.

Putting Your Application Modernization Assessment Results to Work

Your finished Application Modernization Assessment offers a detailed plan around what we think would be the best course of action to take your app into the modern age.

Phase #1: Prioritizing Critical Modernization Needs

Envision a scenario where an outdated application in your organization is no longer compatible with modern security standards, potentially exposing sensitive data due to legacy vulnerabilities.

This is a prime example of the urgent modernization needs that CloudServus' Application Modernization Assessment aims to identify and prioritize. Our assessment is specially designed to highlight and address high-priority modernization issues, such as outdated security protocols or inefficient legacy systems.

Phase #2: Enhancing Operational Efficiency through Modernization

Once the most critical modernization challenges are addressed, the next phase in CloudServus' Application Modernization Assessment focuses on operational enhancements across your application landscape.

In this phase, the emphasis shifts to refining and optimizing your application infrastructure. You might find yourself addressing a range of aspects, from integrating modern data management practices to improving application scalability and performance.

Phase #3: Sustaining Progress with Continuous Support

The success of the initial phases in the Application Modernization Assessment by CloudServus hinges on the establishment of robust, ongoing support mechanisms. It’s crucial that the modernized applications are not just upgraded once, but continuously monitored and improved.

Whether you have an in-house team or require the assistance of a dedicated partner like CloudServus, we ensure that you have the necessary resources and processes in place for ongoing application management.

Bring Your App into the New Age

Many organizations have successfully transitioned to cloud-based environments, but the question remains: are your applications optimized to fully leverage the benefits of the cloud?

An Application Modernization Assessment is not just about understanding the current state of your applications; it's a comprehensive process to guide you through optimizing and enhancing them for the cloud environment. With CloudServus's expertise, you’ll gain valuable insights and actionable recommendations, not only to modernize your applications but also to ensure they continue to evolve and stay aligned with the latest technological advancements.
