Application Modernization
Making the Cloud the Real Cloud
Modernization refers to the changing of application source code and/or architecture to better leverage cloud platforms and native services. Put another way – making the cloud the real cloud.
In our experience, customers that move applications to cloud in a lift and shift motion almost always spend as much as they did in the datacenter, if not 5% more. Only when they modernize their applications by re-architecting and bringing them forward to cloud native do they benefit from the built-in strengths of a cloud platform. Our customers typically save 40% by modernizing, while at the same time gaining capability to deliver new business value.

| What | How | |
|---|---|---|
| Business agility | Increase the speed of business to meet market demands. | Pay down technical debt through modernization to focus human effort on new capabilities and business requirements instead of legacy inefficiencies. |
| Innovation | Unlock data, automate manual processes, or improve customer experience. | Leverage any of the thousands of purpose-built cloud services, products, and APIs on public cloud platforms, including mobile, analytics, ML/AI, IoT, blockchain, and many more. |
| Performance | Improve security, resilience, and scalability. | Modern apps can have global availability, scale to millions of users, respond in milliseconds, and handle petabytes of data. Responsibility for security, compliance, and maintenance is shared with the hyperscaler. |
| Cost-efficiency | Reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) of your digital estate. | Decompose monolithic apps and optimize the usage of cloud products and services based on technical requirements and cost considerations across compute, storage, network, database, analytics, and so forth. |
| Skills and productivity | Develop your team’s knowledge and practices. | Empower developers with better tools and automate test and deployment with DevSecOps. |
Our modernization projects follow this 3-phase process.

The SoftwareONE application modernization approach begins with the Advise phase in which we’ll discover, analyze, and prioritize your application portfolio for modernization. You’ll gain a strategic roadmap that includes recommended architecture, a comprehensive modernization plan, and a business case with projected return on investment (ROI) and total cost of ownership (TCO) savings. Starting with a strong advisory phase enables you to:

Next, we’ll move into the Build phase where we’ll implement a cloud landing zone and DevSecOps pipeline. Side-by-side with your team, we’ll rehost, replatform, and refactor target applications based on your custom plan. |
|
3 |
In the third and final phase, Manage, you can choose to have our team operate and enhance your applications on an ongoing basis, freeing up your employees to deliver new capabilities. |
Our global talent base, sophisticated tools, and proven methodology mean we can scale with your needs — whether that’s one application or one hundred.
