Understanding Application Modernisation

Application modernisation involves updating legacy applications to leverage modern technologies and architectures, ensuring they meet current business needs and technological standards. This process is crucial for organisations aiming to remain competitive and responsive in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. 

Strategies for Modernising Applications

Organisations can adopt various strategies for application modernisation, including: 

  • Rehosting (Lift and Shift): Migrating applications to the cloud with minimal changes to the existing codebase. 
  • Replatforming: Making necessary modifications to optimise applications for cloud environments without altering their core architecture. 
  • Refactoring: Re-architecting applications to utilise cloud-native features, enhancing scalability and maintainability. 
  • Rebuilding: Rewriting applications from scratch using modern technologies and frameworks to fully exploit cloud capabilities. 
  • Replacing: Substituting legacy applications with new, cloud-based solutions that offer improved functionality and integration.
