Frequently asked questions

What is application modernisation, and how will this help organisations?

Application modernisation refers to the process of updating existing apps and data to align with a cloud-first model, meeting evolving business needs. It often involves either modernising existing apps to the cloud or reconstructing parts of existing applications to incorporate newer capabilities or best practices.

By transitioning to modern cloud-based applications, most organisations can unlock a multitude of new capability. This includes the ability to innovate rapidly, unlock productivity, and streamline processes. Additionally, modernised apps significantly improve both customer and employee experiences and reduce costs, amongst other benefits. Essentially, application modernisation strategy is a key driver for organisations to become more agile, efficient, and competitive in today's digital landscape.

What are some of the strategies and tools that can help accelerate existing application modernisation?

To modernise applications, several strategies and tools are essential. Key strategies include rehosting, replatforming, refactoring/repackaging, rearchitecting, and rewriting. Each strategy offers a different level of complexity and impact, from straightforward lift-and-shift methods (rehosting) to complete overhaul and transformation of applications (rewriting).

Amongst tools, low-code platforms such as Microsoft Power Platform play a pivotal role. They empower organisations to quickly build and deploy new apps, facilitated by a unified point of administration, security, and governance in the Microsoft Cloud. This approach not only cuts down development time but also offers significant cost reduction benefits.

Are there specific industries or types of businesses that can benefit most from application modernisation services?

The need for modernisation may vary, but any business with legacy technology looking to improve operational efficiency, security, feature delivery, and scalability can benefit from these services. Modernisation is valuable across all industries, helping businesses stay competitive and meet evolving demands. Industries that offer services to the younger generation, in particular, are more in demand of modern tech to stay competitive.
