Read MoreLegacy Application Modernization and Cloud Migration
Legacy applications can benefit significantly from migrating to the cloud. The cloud offers improved scalability & reliability for your legacy applications, and improved security & durability for your valuable business data. There are several options for modernizing and moving an application to the cloud. You can make significant changes by refactoring, rearchitecting or completely rebuilding the application – or you can choose to replatform the application. Replatforming involves migrating the application to a new runtime platform, making minimal changes to the code, but not the code structure, features or functions.
