IT Modernization

Applications are the backbone for organizations and their processes, irrespective of size, mode, and industry of the businesses.

According to IBM, less than 20% of applications are currently in the cloud, and this proportion is expected to increase, resulting in both hybrid and multi-cloud adoption.

Many Legacy applications have become obsolete, as they no longer respond to the dynamics and performance that your business needs, result in high administration and maintenance costs, and considerably slow down your business’ innovation efforts.

Challenges to successful Modernization:

Applications are the backbone for organizations and their processes, irrespective of size, mode, and industry of the businesses.

According to IBM, less than 20% of applications are currently in the cloud, and this proportion is expected to increase, resulting in both hybrid and multi-cloud adoption.

Many Legacy applications have become obsolete, as they no longer respond to the dynamics and performance that your business needs, result in high administration and maintenance costs, and considerably slow down your business’ innovation efforts.

Challenges to successful Modernization:

  • IT skills gap – Organizations struggle with the IT skills gap and slowed down issue management with a lack of availability of skills.
  • Access to tools and technology – Modernization initiatives, especially involving refactoring or rebuilding into a cloud-native state with DevOps microservices, LogicApps, AWS Lambda, Glue, Data Pipeline, etc. require access to specialized tools and technology.
  • Business Risks with Lack of support, delayed service delivery, and disrupted availability of applications.
  • Performance Risks with multiple applications interoperating and interacting with each other.
  • Lack of a Cloud-Agnostic modernization strategy in virtue of partners having specialization in a single Cloud platform.

71% of CEOs say the priority for their Chief Information Officers is improved Agility and faster Time to Market. – McKinsey & Company, 2019

Different paths exist to application modernization

This helps to introduce the latest functionalities and better align performance, security, resiliency, elasticity, modularity, interoperability challenges, and the automation of operational tasks with your needs.

Kynatech assesses your IT estate; depending on your business goals, calibration plans and the current state of the application(s) you are modernizing, you may consider different paths:

  • Replacing the application with a SaaS solution ensuring a successful data migration.
  • “Lift and Shift” the application as-is on a cloud to modernize features and enhance overall agility.
  • Re-platform applications with slight coding changes to make them suitable to Cloud PaaS, and with this enabling the ability to thrive in a cloud environment.
  • Re-architecting (or refactoring) applications, using techniques for decomposing existing legacy applications into microservices (that later can be containerized), gaining mainly business agility, stability, and the possibility of supporting unexpected peaks.
  • Rebuilding the application as a cloud-native application to fully leverage cloud capabilities

Benefits of Application Modernization:

  • Modernizing an application can bring your OpEx down with less administration and support, as well as a boost for your innovation strategy
  • Cost savings and efficient scaling of cloud services to leverage different features and price structures offered by AWS and Azure
  • Introducing machine learning and automation
  • Increase speed and agility
  • Support employee productivity
  • Improve your customer experience
