Frequently Asked Questions About Application Modernization
-
What does app modernization mean for the cloud?
App modernization for the cloud means adapting and optimizing applications to better align them with cloud platforms and services. This can include migrating, redeveloping or customizing applications to maximize the benefits of cloud usage.
-
How does my company benefit from app modernization for the cloud?
App modernization for the cloud offers your company scalability, cost efficiency, improved security, flexibility and access to the latest technologies. This can help to increase efficiency, reduce costs and improve competitiveness.
-
How is the app modernization done?
App modernization can be carried out in various ways. This includes the migration of existing applications that are moved from local servers to the cloud. Another variant is the redesign/partial modernization of applications in which individual components are replaced. Applications can also be containerized to make them lighter and more portable. Complete new developments in the cloud are also possible. The choice of method depends on your specific requirements, goals and resources.
-
How long does it take to modernize an existing app?
The duration of app modernizations depends on the scope and complexity of the system. In our assessments, we work with you to develop a timeline for the modernization.
