Application Modernization Drives Business Outcomes

Engaging with Solution Machine gives you much more than just application development resources; our team of experts helps you envision and build a foundation for a resilient and future-ready business.

Modernizing your legacy technology to a modern cloud-based solution can be daunting but Solution Machine Application Modernization and Migration experts can help you reimagine and rearchitect your business and IT functions into an agile and operationally efficient enterprise system.

Solution Machine approach to Application Modernization
01
Assessment
The first step in the Solution Machine Assess process is determining the modernization viability of your legacy environment. Our Assess process is a deep dive into identifying vital application code, defining dependencies and third party utilities, reviewing online interfaces, and clearly defining the technical and business requirements for a building a low-risk, cost-effective modernization journey.
Solution Machine Assessment Process
Understand your legacy environment and deliver application and infrastructure blueprints.
Review code capabilities to identify and define all business rules critical to the application.
Describe and define all business transformation opportunities.
Determine the optimal transformation path for the application and determine and compare the total cost of ownership across all environments.
Develop a modernization roadmap detailing all steps in your modernization journey.
02
Migrate
Our experienced team of architects and engineers delivers a fully automated migration process designed to support the entire life cycle of your modernization journey.
Solution Machine Modernization Migration Process
Plan and execute an automated application migration leveraging hybrid solution.
Migrate your applications first using the rehosting approach (“lift-and-shift”). With rehosting, you move an existing application to the cloud as-is and modernize it later.
Decommission legacy applications to reduce technical debt, cybersecurity breaches, labor and infrastructure costs.
03
Modernization
Modernizing and refactoring your legacy code is difficult. Application modernization is a complex process that requires careful planning to have a successful experience. Our agile development practice allows us to make incremental updates to manage the development complexity and mitigate risk.
Modernizing your application requires applying one or more of the following development strategies:
Containerizing the application
Using containers allows your applications to take advantage of the benefits of cloud-native technologies including security, scalability, and portability, without having to rewrite much of the application or change the runtime environment. The container environment gives you the deployment and resource flexibility to run your application on major cloud platforms or on modern on-premise servers.
Update application runtimes
Modernizing application runtimes can help you reduce your license and resource costs by reducing the footprint of the application server to only the services needed by the server and not the entire Java stack.
Refactor the application architecture into microservices
This process allows your application take advantage of a cloud-native architecture by breaking the need to update the entire application when replacing components or resolving service issues. Refactoring allows new features to be developed quickly in response to your business needs and giving you the flexibility to secure, scale and distribute parts of the application.
