 Enterprise Application Modernization
- Introduction and Overview

SCIT, Pune
Enterprise Application Modernization initiative aligns IT architectures and
application environments to future vision of doing business, revitalizes IT
assets to efficiently respond to changing market conditions.

The Thought Dilemma: Enterprise Application Modernization

Solution is designed to assist enterprise
Relentless focus on in:
reducing cost with
minimized risk § Assessing the suitability of
applications in the operations

business § Implementing strategies to
modernize applications

Primary objective of Application Modernization service is to improve operational
efficiency, reduce the cost of doing business and improve information assets.

Issues with Legacy Application:

Resistant to Increasing
§ Lack of flexibility and agility Change/Brittle License and
§ Ageing legacy workforce Maintenance
Cost
§ Platform Obsolescence
Complex
§ Limited access to business logic Poor
