Four Steps to Successful App Modernization

App Modernization can save costs and increase income, but you need a planned strategy. To successfully implement new practices into your company culture, you must have a thorough awareness of the demands of your organization and a plan of action that won’t interfere with operations.

The tremendous potential benefits of a successful app modernization project are spelled out in the latest IBM Consulting publication Strategic app modernization accelerates digital transformation:

• 15–35% savings on infrastructure year-over-year
• 30–50% lower application maintenance and running costs
• 74% lower prices on hardware, software, and staff
• 10% improvement in application operational efficiency
• 14% boost in annual revenue

However, the vast majority of app modernization attempts flop or fall below expectations. How do you avoid the pitfalls that could make your efforts fail or underperform?

A more thorough digital transformation can be achieved through a series of journeys called app modernization. Over time, you can respond to every new opportunity and deal with fresh difficulties as they appear. In this way, the objectives of the IT industry as a whole are reflected in every modernization initiative, whether it be for apps, infrastructure, processes, or something else. Fundamentally, they are about adjusting to change brought on by commercial needs.

The four steps that follow offer a strong framework for app modernization. Consider them as guidelines for getting started as well as boundaries to keep you away from common mistakes.

1. Assess for App Modernization

Understand your company’s existing situation, your desired outcomes, and how to transform without causing a stir. After that, perform an org rationalization exercise to assess your current staff and system. Create a solid foundation of knowledge about your needs as a business and your current application landscape. The three levels of understanding described in the earlier article “What keeps a CIO up at night? ”

2. Select

Transform your understanding of the challenges and starting points into a detailed action plan. Going from a general desire for improvement to the specific technical objectives you may accomplish through app modernization is necessary. Choosing the appropriate hyperscalers or other public and private cloud service providers to supply the services you require is another step in this process.

3. Outline

Create a strategy and timeframe with purposefully spaced-out app modernization journeys that each offer value without interfering with ongoing business activities. In this step, you plan how procedures and dependencies will change as you modernize each program, drawing on your knowledge of your existing position. In this step, outside assistance is beneficial because internal viewpoints on processes and dependencies are sometimes confusing.

4. Adapt for App Modernization

Connect your organization’s employees and processes to your new app environment. The application mix you modernize will support and challenge your employees in interesting ways. Although integrated methods may be more effective, they are also unfamiliar. People will take on new tasks as you empower them with new powers. Without the right assistance and instruction, the procedure may be confusing. A disengaged staff can, in the worst-case scenario, completely eliminate the value of any modernization endeavor. It is important, not optional, to plan for cultural transformation as part of your technical modernization.
