MODERNIZATION

Moving legacy monoliths to next-gen cloud native
platforms with Application Modernization Services

MODERNIZING THE ARCHAIC

Application modernization services are crucial to businesses today as they face increased competitive pressures to get the most out of their existing IT assets and continuously optimize to meet the demands of the changing market, reduce technical debt and increase productivity. Archaic applications limit the ability to innovate and pose the following challenges:

  • Monolithic design – Existing core systems are designed to tightly couple data, workflows and embedded rules. This makes them inflexible, creates a need for system wide regression testing upon any changes, and does not support new business process models that leverage the latest technological advancements
  • Lack of knowledge – Work done on applications by multiple subject matter experts over many years is lost due to attrition or workforce aging. The business logic, data flows and dependencies cannot be easily extracted from code or older documentation
  • Complex integration – Legacy monolithic applications have complex integrations between modules, requiring complex testing and production implementation effort, and delayed time-to-market
  • High cost of maintenance – Cost of maintaining older applications becomes prohibitive, mainly due to shrinking expert resource pools

This calls for application modernization of existing legacy architecture to next-generation cloud native platform architecture.

The associated application composer portal is a web-based tool to choose the required services for an application in an intuitive way.
  • Microservices Testing Framework (MSTF) helps end-users to test microservices in a very simple 3-steps clicks and also allows discovery of SOAP based web services and RESTful services. Seamless backend API services connectivity with flexible, scalable and secure setup models as on-premises and cloud environments.
  • AutoCode.AI is a deep learning framework to automate the design-to-code front-end GUI development process, reducing the time, cost and effort to go from requirements to code. Leverages cloud formation templates and containers to host and manage the code for quick validation.

 

Data Migration

  • Data Migration Engine (DME) migrates data from source data store to target data store for any business application based on the attribute mappings. The data source and target can be of any technology. The engine also does data validation, data translation and transformation based on the supplied business logic. The tools also provide the ability to run the complete migration of the application data in one single batch and dry runs for validating the data and for doing data corrections.
  • Data Migration Toolkit (DMT) Automated Database Migration framework and scripts for dumping data by unloading using native utilities and load data in target using native load scripts (DB2 to Oracle , SQL Server etc.) and can be customized for any relational database.
