“Software modules enable a powerful characteristic of co-creation: The rapid construction of prototypes that approximate a market ready solution and enable teams to experiment towards the best combination of solutions.”
– Maurus Riedwe
Consider that as software has become more modular and re-usable, it has become more like the Lego toy system of interchangeable parts. Modularization enables software firms to work collaboratively with customers to develop their products quickly by cycling through ideas and potential solutions in plug and play prototype configurations that can be quickly understood, evaluated and iterated.
Our application modernization services help transform your legacy applications to become more agile and efficient through the power of modern cloud development paired with advanced DevOps & security.
There are options beyond a straightforward lift and shift to the cloud. Modernizing your applications gives you the ability to develop advanced solutions faster, that are more reliable and more secure using advanced architectures with containers and micro services. Incorporating a strong DevOps strategy throughout the application lifecycle will improve the quality and of your operations.
We approach modernization around seven pillars:
Encapsulate
To leverage and extend an application’s features and value, encapsulate data and functions in the application and make them available as services via an application programming interface (API). Implementation specifics and knowledge are hidden behind the interface.
Rehost
Redeploy an application component to another physical, virtual or cloud infrastructure without recompiling, altering the application code, or modifying features and functions.
Replatform
Migrate an application component to a new runtime platform. Make minimal changes to code to adapt to the new platform, but don’t change the code structure or the features and functions it provides.
Refactor
Restructure and optimize existing code without changing its external behavior to remove technical debt and to improve the component’s features and structure.
Rearchitect
Materially alter the application code so you can shift it to a new application architecture and fully exploit new and better capabilities of the application platform.
Rebuild
Rebuild or rewrite the application component from scratch while preserving its scope and specifications.
Replace
Eliminate the former application component altogether and replace it, taking new requirements and needs into account.
