Legacy Modernization
If you're running custom applications on legacy systems, modernizing your application environment can help you enhance competitive advantage while lowering operational costs. Whether your goal is simply to improve the workflow of a legacy application or to retool it into a set of reusable services, application modernization will position your business to address new requirements such as cloud computing, mobility and virtualization.
But there's one problem - modernization can be difficult without an end-to-end solution approach and experienced delivery partner.
At Unify LLC, we have developed a proprietary Migration Factory model that offers an Innovative application modernization approach driven by specialized teams working in an assembly line mode.
We can help your business:
- Better understand the applications, databases and processes that run in your data center today and map out a modernization strategy that is future-ready
- Reduce high infrastructure costs and streamline operations by identifying current industry standard re-hosting options
- Realize new initiatives and enhance agility by re-architecting legacy applications to modern architectures such as Java and .NET/li>
- Upgrade your existing enterprise applications to the latest version or migrate them to more efficient platforms
Our Modernization Methodology includes:
