“Change is inevitable. Change is constant.” – Benjamin Disraeli

 

Legacy applications are over. But does that mean replace the old and discard the new? Organizations tend to use Legacy applications due to various reasons, familiarity, staff’s comfort level, change averseness, to avoid migration costs and any unwarranted possible downtime.  This is fine on pragmatic grounds, but as the world is moving fast towards modernization, smart devices are taking over desktops and laptops, and so the applications need to adapt to these trends to be workable.

 

Savitriya provides world class Application Migration Services across the globe with its highly experienced team of software professionals and domain experts.  Existing applications have already proven worthiness and business logic, to simply complying with modern standards and devices, these applications need not be scrapped and redeveloped from scratch.  Savitriya’s engineers stress on leveraging existing business logic to focus on migrating the legacy applications to modern technology.

 

Many users tend to live with application pitfalls as majority features match their ongoing requirements. We ensure that the migration services address these pitfalls, maintain the applications usability while enhancing user experience. To achieve this, detail scrutinization, Q&A sessions are conducted before scrapping the old platform/technology and suggesting a better replacement.  Race against time and cost is the mantra that is followed against each of migration cycle.

 

The goal for any application migration service is to retain the legacy applications investment and increase the value through migration to new platforms and devices.  Several strategies can be followed to achieve that like Warrants, Maintenance and Upgrade (WMU), Renaissance, Architecture Driven Modernization, Visaggio’s Decision Model (VDM), Economic Model to Software Rewriting and Replacement Times (SRRT), Reengineering Planning Process (RPP) and many more.

 

Three major factors to be considered as a risk to Application Migrations are:

 

  • Change Management – Application users will have to be trained to adopt to the modern application and platforms effectively

 

  • Data Migration – Large amount of datasets with previous business logic’s validation and constraints to be handled with updated validations and constraints.  Typically banks and insurance giants face such problems that cannot be overruled.

 

  • Parallel systems – Some organizations may choose to deal with legacy and modern system in parallel. Imbalanced approach towards this strategy may yield to reduced productivity and increase liabilities over a period of time, thus there has to be planned phase out mode for legacy application.
