Importance of Platform Modernization


Asset Consolidation
  • Reduce the total number of assets by consolidating best of breed components, features and functionalities from multiple existing systems into either a single existing or new system
Virtualization
  • Can dramatically reduce costs and greatly improve business agility. Technology departments can focus more on services and less on systems, resulting in faster time to market, improved quality and reduced costs. Greater agility enables companies to react quickly to changing demands on the business or services offered
Platform Modernization
  • Allows software applications to remain the same or move to different technology platforms, in either case improving the outcome through the use of the latest processes and tools. Costs are also reduced, and greater flexibility added
SOA Adoption
  • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) Adoption is an excellent option for architectural modernization. It is a solution whereby systems now consist of service users and service providers
Cloud Enablement / Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • A model of software deployment where an application is licensed for use as a service provided to customers on demand
UI Modernization
  • A non-intrusive method that provides a graphical user interface for character-based applications, resulting in an improved user experience

Platform Modernization Benefits

  • Streamlining asset utilization through common frameworks, technology platforms, tools and repeatable processes across products reduces costs and insures higher success rates
  • Platform Rationalization gives the system agility and sustainability providing an extended product lifespan
  • Increased efficiency and effectiveness through interoperability with other applications
  • Revenue growth through scalability, integration and new features
  • Ramp more users/customers by reducing time to market
  • Cut hardware and software costs up to 75% by replacing legacy infrastructure over a period of years
  • Cut sustaining engineering costs by more than 50% by moving to an output or outcome based relationship model
