Large companies and enterprises now have the opportunity to function in a more dynamic environment thanks to the advent of the digital world; however, these companies are sometimes hampered by legacy IT systems.

Enterprises all around the world possess a plethora of application logic and skills that are fundamental to their businesses and have been proven to have strong industrial underpinnings. In spite of this, the digital economy has ushered across a new era of innovation, one that is propelled by consumerization and unrelenting disruption thanks to the emergence of specialized players and powerhouses in the majority of verticals.

It is essential for organizations to be at the forefront of change and modernize their applications in order for them to prosper in the modern day. This ends up producing a substantially higher degree of agility, which is frequently hindered by older systems. The following are some of the primary difficulties presented by legacy systems:

  • The high cost of ownership, coupled with the demographic fact that there is less available skill in older technologies,
  • The requirement to focus on the needs of the consumer and the urgent need to provide seamless multi-channel capabilities
  • Regulatory compliance
  • Increased elasticity of the system to facilitate growth and maximize the use of pay per consumption
  • Inadequate protection
  • Ineffective and sluggish performance
  • Unable to support integrations with the newest technologies
  • Lack of maintenance support

Why legacy app modernization is essential?

Rehosting, re-platforming, or redesigning mission-critical old systems to meet the demands of today's quickly changing market is known as legacy application modernization.

Businesses can improve the scalability of their technology, increase operational effectiveness, achieve optimal security, and achieve agility by modernizing their legacy applications.

Your company can revitalize outdated applications by utilizing cutting-edge features and capabilities through the modernization of legacy apps. Making older legacy technology systems compatible with more recent current solutions is a clever strategy.

Best time for a business to jump-start application modernization?

This question does not have a clear answer, nor can you comment on the present situation without further consideration. It takes careful planning to replace an outdated system with a new one that incorporates current technology, and doing so requires a lot of effort. Businesses have the best chance of extracting the most amount of value from the legacy application modernization process if they take a methodical, step-by-step approach.

However, in order to answer the issue of "when," a list of symptoms that suggest your company needs legacy application modernization has been presented below. Therefore, it is the appropriate time to modernize outdated programs when the following conditions are met:

  • Your legacy system cannot keep up with the ever-evolving requirements of the firm and does not provide adequate support for the expansion of the business because of its inability to scale.
  • Your legacy system becomes more sluggish as a result of its heavily patched architecture and its use of passwords that are hard coded.
  • Your legacy system causes an increase in the amount of technical debt, which hinders the scalability and growth of your business.
  • Your legacy system's outdated hardware or software, which results in a lack of maintenance assistance, makes it more susceptible to potential security vulnerabilities.

If any of these warning flags are exhibited by your legacy technology, it is high time that you consider modernizing your business applications.

The transfer to a modern system could first feel unsettling in environments where legacy systems have provided a level of stability in the past. If, on the other hand, your legacy technology is displaying any of the risk indicators described above, it is high time that you sought out the services of a legacy application modernization company.

These capabilities are made possible by automated tools that were developed specifically for the purpose of automating code production and reviving legacy software based on forward engineering.

In addition to these core skills, we also offer migration and application re-engineering, as well as cloud assessments that are based on machine learning.

E-Strategy ensures a reliable and scalable solution by cloud hosting on either Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Microsoft Azure to host the modernized version of your legacy app.

E-Strategy's 7 approaches to legacy app modernization

Rebuild with E-Strategy

The process of rebuilding legacy systems is likely the most expensive, as well as the one that takes the most time, but it yields the best possible outcomes. While the approaches serve as phases for most organizations to take in order to accomplish total modernization, the rebuild method converts outdated processes into cloud-native environments that are fully integrated. The approach of rebuilding incorporates a substantial amount of DevOps in addition to other technologies such as APIs, microservices, containers, and so on.

Rehost with E-Strategy

In the rehosting process, the legacy systems are installed in a new environment rather than having their code altered or having their functions modified in any other way. Through the process of rehosting, businesses are able to keep the investments they have made in their legacy processes while also reaping the benefits of cloud computing's underlying infrastructure. Rehosting, which is also known as the "lift and shift" methodology, is a way to move to the cloud without having to re-engineer one's computer systems.

Refactor with E-Strategy

Refactoring is typically employed when dealing with hybrid environments, which involve components of legacy systems that have code that has been optimized for improved performance. The front end or the functionality are typically left untouched while the components of the back end are reworked during refactoring. This is standard practice. Refactoring is preferred by many companies over rewriting entirely since it causes less interruptions to business operations. Refactoring is generally favored since it gives firms sufficient time to evaluate every part of the application and determine which platform is the most suitable.

Replace with E-Strategy

This strategy calls for completely replacing the current system with a brand-new one and putting it into operation in order to achieve the goal of streamlining company procedures. The possibility of any kind of disruption is a risk associated with the process, and one of the risks is to decide how existing data can be integrated into the new system.

Retain with E-Strategy

This is a very unusual situation in which a company chooses not to make any modifications to its environment and instead allows its solutions to continue operating in the same manner as before. When it comes to information technology, one of the most important decisions a leader can make is whether or not to keep an older system in place. In this context, companies need to establish a long-term strategy that ensures the seamless operation of all app components.

Re-platform with E-Strategy

The process of migrating an existing legacy system totally to a different platform is what the name says the process will accomplish. Replatforming an app involves moving its individual components to a different operating system while preserving the apps' original functionality. The process requires only minor alterations to the source code. To the benefit of the organization, better performance can be leveraged with only small increases in the expenses of the underlying infrastructure.
