Cloud App Modernization
Bringing your Apps into the Cloud era
Your organisation, like many, likely has a raft of applications spanning decades of IT practice. Call them monoliths, or label them as technical debt, they are likely costly, complex in nature, and stifle the type of innovation your business is looking for with digital services.
​
Our Cloud App Modernisation takes the value in these applications, such as the processes and data you have built up over the years, and re-platforms them on cloud-native services, opening them up to opportunities to innovate and optimise, while reducing costs and risk. We work closely with your team to identify candidates for modernisation that align with business goals and deliver a demonstrable return on investment. By bringing your apps into the cloud era, we breathe new life into tired systems.
You could not hope for a more engaged partner. Not just the initial discovery piece of our current state of play, but also where the final destination should be on that journey and throughout the process. They didn’t just deal with us as a partner, they took all of our vendors on that journey. It is absolutely invaluable.

How We Do it
01
Discover
Working with your team through a series of interviews, we gain an understanding of your application estate and work to identify candidate applications for modernisation.
​
03
Deconstruct
By deconstructing your applications we are able to be targeted about how and where we can make improvements, and align these with business goals, whether that be innovation, performance, resilience, operational efficiency or risk management.
05
Abstract
Sometimes the best approach with legacy applications is to abstract away from them to accelerate innovation and ROI. With the use of data lakes, APIs and serverless services, we can build new services by removing reliance on old systems.
02
Qualify
With the candidate applications identified, we work through your key business goals and align them with the opportunities for modernisation, resulting in a clear understanding of ROI and prioritisation for apps.
04
Lean
With applications understood in their component parts, we are able to find unnecessary waste and remove this from the application stack. This could include components such as security appliances, load balancers and proprietary storage and database systems.
06
Repacking
With a cloud-ready modernised application ready to go, we package up the components for redeployment using code templates for infrastructure and integrate these into your code repositories and CI/CD pipelines. If you don’t have them, we can build them!
What We Offer
DevOps Practice
Our DevOps team forms a cross-functional team with the experts in your business. Our Agile project management will then manage the project with regular sprints to get results fast.
