You have a great application which has been serving your business well. However it’s legacy and a monolith, making it difficult to extend its features or align with the constantly shifting business demand.
Legacy applications have challenges ranging from slow performance, poor user experience and spiralling costs. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Outdated systems can limit your digital capabilities and pace of innovation, stalling business growth and making it difficult to compete.
We feel the same pain you’re going through. We’ve all gone through it across many industries and environments.
As a technology leader you have to balance your multiple challenges and modernizing your application sometimes takes a back seat. Yet you know it is critical to modernize it to take your business to the next level and aggressively compete in your domain.
Assuming your commercial reasoning and RoI make sense, take a technological leap to modernize. Application modernization is a key part of your digital transformation journey.
We are your partners in strategy and execution of your modernization vision supported by our best-in-class application modernisation development team.
Modernization is a complex business systems challenge. It requires a comprehensive strategy to be developed that takes into account many complex and inter-related factors.

We will help you develop a well thought-out plan to deliver a successful modernized microservices based application. Working with an experienced agile team who are familiar with the complexities of monolithic to microservices development migration is the difference between success and failure.
We will create a squad consisting of your team and ours. Our teams will possess the right mix of technology skills and excellent communication, planning and change management.
Our Application Modernization Journey Proposition
1
Solution Architecture
Modernizing legacy apps and transforming them into modern cloud-native applications requires a clear understanding of the system’s components and its interdependencies. Solution architecture is the most critical stage of any modernization project as it helps identify potential issues before they occur and reducing development time and costs
2
Coding Patterns
Coding patterns play a critical role in the development of cloud-native applications. They are sets of guidelines and best practices for writing clean, efficient, and maintainable code suitable for microservices architecture and containerization. Coding patterns make it easier for developers to collaborate and work on the same codebase leading to faster development times, fewer bugs, reliable and scalable application
3
Integrations
Cloud-native applications are designed to be modular, distributed, and scalable. Modernizing an application will depend on integration fabric to connect internal and external service providers and consumers seamlessly enriching the application’s purpose. Integration design of how services are accessed is critical and include authentication, message transformation, throttling, logging and security
4
UI, UX & CX
A frictionless design language helps create a positive digital experience for your users. Delivering a seamless and intuitive UX & CX is part of achieving a modernized application that guides your users to the desired actions in minimal effort. We will help you with the design principles to reduce barriers and distractions in the user journey.
5
Data Enrichment
Modernizing apps need to go beyond the codebase. Enriching an app with additional data points such as business metadata, geolocation and social media signals enhances the purpose of the application. The users will gain deeper insights into relevant behaviour, preferences and trends. The result must offer accurate data analysis providing a competitive advantage.
6
Infrastructure
Designing the appropriate infrastructure for cloud native applications is key to long term success. The infrastructure design needs to be scaled vertically and horizontally to cope with performance peaks and troughs. An unmodernized application cannot take advantage of modern infrastructure services. Modernized applications benefit from process automation via CI/CD significantly cutting deployment and maintenance costs
7
Security
Application modernization must have security principles at its core. Design segregation and embedding security protocols with trust verification is critical to mitigate or contain the breach surface. Developed correctly with DevSecOps as part of the team will ensure security is handled consistently with constant monitoring of end points
8
Performance Monitoring
Application performance observability at business process level is fundamental to ensuring consistent user experience. This is difficult to achieve in legacy monolithic apps. A modernized application with business performance visibility as part of the design pattern will help you integrate with your enterprise monitoring tools to identify and resolve issues in real-time before they impact customers.
