Application Modernisation

Modernising ageing line-of-business applications, sequenced so risk falls from the first release.

Technologies

  • Microsoft Azure
  • Azure App Service
  • Azure DevOps
  • Azure SQL

Releases become rare because they are risky, which makes them riskier still. We introduce automated deployment and a baseline test suite before functional change, so modernisation reduces risk immediately.

Business outcomes

Safer, more frequent releases

Deployment automation and test coverage before functional change.

Reduced platform risk

Unsupported runtimes and dependencies addressed first.

Focused investment

Effort directed at applications that actually change.

Capabilities

Application assessment

Criticality, technical condition and change frequency.

Modernisation planning

Disposition per application with sequencing and effort ranges.

Platform and pipeline

Target platform, deployment automation and baseline tests.

Incremental modernisation

Strangler patterns that deliver value during the transition.

How we deliver it

  1. Assess

    Estate discovery, dependency mapping, criticality and readiness.

  2. Design

    Landing zone, network, identity, policy, cost model and operating cadence.

  3. Build

    Infrastructure as code with policy applied from the first deployment.

  4. Migrate

    Waves sequenced by risk, each rehearsed with a rollback path.

  5. Operate

    Monitoring, cost review, compliance reporting and a platform backlog.
