Your digital transformation via app modernization should focus on accomplishing objectives, such as:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Simplifying the experiences of your customers<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Enhancing cost-efficiency<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Ensuring your operation is scalable<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Reducing time-to-market<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Finding ways to leverage data<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Producing more reliable digital and physical products and services<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nThe cloud often plays an integral role in accomplishing one or more of these goals, mainly because it allows for scalability and flexibility that on-premise solutions may fail to deliver.","image_block_1":"","block_2":"<h3>Application Modernization and Cloud Migration<\/h3>\r\nThe first step in modernizing your apps may be committing to a cloud, multi-cloud, on-premise or hybrid infrastructure\u2014but in many cases, you can modernize using any one, or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilinksolutions.com\/post\/devsecops-the-what-why-how\/\">combination<\/a> of these solutions. So it\u2019s important to examine the scope and direction of your modernization and then choose your approach.\r\n\r\nHere are some of the most common approaches:\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>Lift and shift. This involves taking your app as-is and moving it to the cloud.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Modifying the code your app already has. This is typically done before moving the app to either a cloud or on-premise server. You modify it to ensure compatibility with the new architecture once it\u2019s been shifted.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Platform as a service (PaaS). With PaaS, you use a specific cloud provider\u2019s platform as the environment in which to run your app.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Software as a Service (SaaS). Opting for a SaaS solution is often the most straightforward choice. After a discovery phase, you hand the reins over to a provider, and they craft a solution. This gives you access to emerging technologies and enables you to transition seamlessly, but you may have to tangle with being locked into that vendor for a long time.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Re-architecting your current app. If your current application is cloud-compatible, you can re-architect it. If you take advantage of CI\/CD pipelines and agile DevOps processes, you can streamline your re-architecture\u2014at least to a degree\u2014but this approach is often the most time-intensive because it requires a lot of coding.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3>Defining the Modern Application<\/h3>\r\nA modern app is one that combines several services to produce a digitally transformed process. The services the modernization unifies don\u2019t all have to be new, cutting-edge tools. It\u2019s very common to include a legacy service in your overall modernization infrastructure. The key is that you\u2019re bringing multiple tools together to facilitate a process that\u2019s more efficient, more feature-rich or both.\r\n\r\nThis, of course, doesn\u2019t mean that a modernized application environment precludes the use of legacy systems\u2014and using modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilinksolutions.com\/post\/what-we-do\/cloud-services\/\">cloud-based solutions<\/a> doesn\u2019t necessarily equate to a modernized ecosystem. For instance, you can incorporate a legacy database by linking it to a cloud-based solution and populating the cloud solution at set intervals. While this solution uses an older technology, it\u2019s still modernized because it\u2019s more efficient and provides enhanced flexibility.","block_3":"<h3>The Role of AI in App Modernization<\/h3>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilinksolutions.com\/post\/the-important-role-of-artificial-intelligence-in-network-defense\/\">Artificial intelligence<\/a> supports a modernized application environment by automating certain tasks while also reducing the chance of human error. AI is used to analyze large amounts of data and develop action plans based on patterns the AI system observes. In this way, AI can play a significant role in applications that improve the customer experience, support more efficient workflows, and help decision-makers analyze and predict sales trends.\r\n\r\nExample: Customer Journey Mapping\r\n\r\nThe process of mapping your customer\u2019s journey presents an ideal opportunity for app modernization, particularly because of the ways in which the elements of a customer\u2019s journey intersect with each other. For example, you can have a customer relationship management (CRM) app that combines several services that perform functions such as storing prospect and customer data, keeping track of interactions, and sharing this information with colleagues.\r\n\r\nA modernized version of this CRM app could have each of the tools or services used to execute these functions housed in different segments of a containerized Kubernetes system. Kubernetes\u2019 infrastructure is then used to bring them all together. So when you have to change a parameter or provide more functionality, it\u2019s a fairly straightforward process for your DevSecOps team to execute.\r\n<h3>The Key to a Successful App Modernization Journey: Efficient, Cost-Effective Solutions<\/h3>\r\nAn app modernization partner that leverages agile DevSecOps practices produces iterations of your app modernization solution faster\u2014and according to your specifications. These development principles incorporate customer input and feedback, making them the foundation of the creative process. In this way, while the developer is powering the process, you\u2019re at the helm, steering the ship, ensuring your goals are being met. The end result is a solution that delivers on your objectives without sacrificing speed or quality.\r\n\r\nBy identifying then focusing on your high-level objectives and choosing a company that puts your needs and goals at the center of an agile process, your app modernization can deliver on its promise. The end result is streamlined business operations that enable your organization to grow and thrive during and after its digital transformation.\r\n<br><br>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ilinksolutions.com\/post\/what-we-do\/agile-software-engineering\/\">Learn how i-Link Solutions\u2019 application modernization and Agile software engineering services can better help you reach your goals.<\/a>","card_block_3":"","repeat_block":null},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.6 (Yoast SEO v24.6) -
