Together, we define the business goals for the modernization assessment

We identify the forces driving the need for change through kickoff meetings with your stakeholders. With these initial conversations, we gain understanding in your domain, priorities, and concerns, and how the assessment can help your organization achieve its long-term vision. We outline the restrictions and requirements that may impact the modernization assessment, ensure we have aligned on the desired outcome and clarified the criteria for success of the project.

We assess the current state and document the architecture of applications

Our experts partner with your team to begin assessing your environment. First, we determine the high-level scope and the critical functional areas that need to be modernized. At this point, our team conducts insight into your software architecture and technologies used, from various perspectives:
System functionality and critical capabilities
User behavior, patterns, and future requirements
Deep dive into the ecosystem’s components:
System architecture
Technology layers
Storage technologies
Deployment infrastructure
Tools and services
Third-party integrations, interfacing with external systems
Security, permissions, and licensing
Next meetings with your experts and research of your system architecture, source code, application user interfaces, and third-party components, our team compiles a systemized report of technical findings that will serve as the foundation for a tailor-made modernization path for your organization.

We make recommendations based on gap analysis and roadmap design

In phase three, our team will reveal the gaps within your existing environment and put together an action plan for a modern system architecture that:
Preserves all critical features and capabilities from the existing system
Leverages a modern, future-proof technology stack that fits the organization’s long-term vision
Minimizes disruption in customer experience, established user patterns and expectations
We present a final draft to the customer to gather last bits of feedback and fine-tune the modernization assessment report. The report features a high-level, iterative strategy proposal that enables the release of key new and modernized existing functionality to base frequently.
