Application Modernisation
Helping you maximise the value of your IT investment through automation and orchestration
Many organisations find that a large share of legacy workloads, underlying platforms, technologies, and traditional development practices are holding back business agility and innovation. This is a direct result of the era in which legacy systems were developed: before the rise of cloud computing, cloud-native development practices, Linux containers, and other technological advancements. However, many of these workloads are still business-critical and represent significant long-term investments. Retiring or replacing this infrastructure is often an unpalatable thought for many parts of the business
This leaves organisations in a difficult position, needing to balance the necessity of maintaining these systems with the desire to innovate, meet new customer expectations, and address new opportunities. These legacy applications can require so much time, budget, and resources to maintain that they become a significant obstacle to innovation.
Additionally, maintaining applications written across languages and deployed across various platforms poses a challenge to resources as one department may be maintaining monolithic Java applications or services on platforms such as .Net or Cloud Foundry. While these applications and platforms can be unified and standardised, an organisation must adopt an open hybrid cloud approach to succeed.
The purpose of application modernisation is to bring agility back to legacy applications by migrating them to a modern platform, breaking up monoliths into smaller easier to maintain components like microservices, applying modern software development and deployment practices, and integrating old with new.
A couple of recent high-pressure test cases suggest that now is the time to bring your plans out of the drawer and step on the gas, no matter the industry.
If you tried to think of a couple of industries that have less in common, you’d be hard pressed to think of two further apart than aluminium production and payroll services. Yet, both Tomago industries (they are Australasia’s largest aluminium smelter) and Tambla (a SaaS payroll solutions provider based in Victoria) found themselves staring down deadlines to modernise and migrate their SAP infrastructure.
While not every business will face the hard deadlines imposed on Tambla and Tomago, the general consensus is that the push for efficiency, productivity and security means the clock is ticking for any organisation operating on legacy systems.
Has the reward/risk ratio finally flipped for SAP application modernisation?
