Application Modernization

The benefits and disadvantages of moving legacy systems to the cloud is often complicated by a lack of cloud expertise and the uncertainty of costs. This decision-making process quickly becomes overwhelming, when adding topics of cloud security and future operational costs. A common question is, how to ensure that a new cloud environment meets or exceeds the security and operational posture of the traditional on-prem environments.

The options available for your business vary widely, from the pay-as-you-go shared environment of the public cloud, to the more dedicated infrastructure of private cloud. You can also choose a hybrid solution that combines the benefits of cloud architecture with existing legacy IT. It is important to consider what will work best for you.

GoDgtl brings the experience needed to outline the differences between these options. We can make recommendations on what makes the most sense for our clients.

Modernizing mission critical applications requires making big investments and hard decisions on the right approach based on business needs and the competitive landscape. Re-architecting an application allows companies to upgrade their current systems to a newer technology platform for performance and availability reasons without making feature improvements. This is a rapid and cost-effective approach to meeting rising demand.

When the current application restraints are becoming a hindrance to meeting business objectives, a better modernization approach is to re-invent the system from the ground up with a new set of cutting-edge features. Whether companies decide to re-architect or reinvent their digital solutions, they should choose GoDgtl for their application modernization needs.

Companies make changes to applications and features for many different business reasons. In some cases, companies need to replace an application with software that is better suited to the organization’s current and future needs. In these cases, rebuilding the application is the more appropriate path to application modernization.

In cases where rebuilding the application is cost-prohibitive, companies can achieve application modernization by moving the application to another platform in the cloud without minor modifications. This process is called replatforming the application. GoDgtl can help companies decide whether replacement or replatforming is more appropriate for their needs and help them implement their strategies for application modernization.
