Application modernisation - refactoring, re-purposing, consolidation of legacy software

Comprehensive approach to assess and move applications, to an enterprise-ready cloud and driving ongoing business value through leveraging new cloud capabilities.

Adopting or implementing a micro-services architecture for your application will allow your business to benefit from cloud deployment. 4Sight will assist your business to identify, determine and implement the right strategy for your application landscape:

  • Retire where identified
  • Rehost elsewhere
  • Replace where needed
  • Re Architect your environment aligned with your strategy

With Azure, we help modernize applications faster with containers and how you can use serverless to add additional functionality while keeping your production codebase 'clean’. Incorporate DevOps throughout your app's lifecycle and take advantage of data-driven intelligence.

Application modernisation is the refactoring, re-purposing, or consolidation of legacy software programming to align it more closely with current business needs. Application modernisation services
address the migration of legacy to new applications or platforms, including the integration of new functionality to provide the latest functions to the business.

The first step to achieve this is to evaluate the assets of a business to determine the best way to migrate or modernise an Application Modernisation Roadmap will then be built using the evaluation
outcomes. It is important to keep in mind what our customers' businesses strategic goals and desired outcomes are, to align the Application Modernisation Roadmap and address the digital business strategy, technical architecture, IT people and the process maturity of goals – Agility, Innovation, DevOps.

The Application Modernisation Roadmap addresses the following concerns and activities:

  • Organisation goals and barriers
  • Customer experience through journey maps
  • Technology assessment and inventory
  • Gap analysis and recommendations
  • Capture and reflect IT goals – e.g. Cloud-First, Agile, DevOps
  • Establish a transformation roadmap that captures the vision of the digital transformation and the people, process, and technology changes
  • Technology options and reference architecture
  • Application portfolio rationalisation and migration options – e.g. buy versus build
  • Budgets, benefits, timelines, change and communication plans
  • Program governance – organisation, roles and responsibilities, dashboard KPIs, accountability
  • Reference architecture and digital marketplace offerings
  • Program execution in the context

Azure is a key component of the process. Our clients can choose to migrate, modernize, or build cloud-native solutions depending on the identified goals and how we collaboratively assess your application portfolio. Unlock the value of your core business applications.
