Application Modernization:
A Progressive Vision for Running Business
Application Modernization is the conversion or transformation of legacy systems using new technologies to enable better performance and enhanced operations.
Legacy applications are the system’s initial applications containing all of its core features.
In today’s modern era, technology is advancing at an exceptional speed. Every day, new inventions are being created, and better tools for running operations are surfacing.
As a result, businesses need to keep up with this revolutionary age and build processes that support this technological growth.
To keep up with technological development and remain competitive in different industries, enterprises need to opt for application modernization.
Implementing advanced and modern tools and technologies into all practices while maintaining the system’s core functionalities is the basis of application modernization.
It revolves around enhancing legacy applications to enable better system performance and advanced service operations.
However, some companies with a traditional IT system and applications on which they have been running their business and operations for years might not embrace this transformation readily.
Most of these businesses state that the application modernization process might lead to data loss and decrease performance.
As the saying goes, change is always scary, so understandably business owners might have their doubts and reservations when considering modernizing their system and applications.
However, there are numerous positive outcomes to application modernization for businesses. It can improve business performance and upgrade IT systems, among other benefits.

Our Application Modernization Technologies
Our application modernization strategy requires certain technologies to enable high system functionalities. These technologies encompass cloud migration technologies as well as service enhancing technologies.
Cloud Computing
Cloud is a progressive technology that has integrated itself into many industries worldwide. It is an advanced tool that streamlines operations and facilitates many business processes.
At DigitalCook Switzerland, we implement cloud computing technologies into the application modernization process. Cloud offers an effective alternative to on-premise data centers.
On-premise data centers present some roadblocks for businesses that want to expand and develop. Scalability is not easily achieved; it requires many resources and expenses.
However, Cloud enables enterprises to scale up or down by a few mouse clicks, accommodating their business demands and requirements. DigitalCook Switzerland is a Cloud service provider.
Therefore, we are entirely responsible for any maintenance or repair fees when you opt for our services. In addition, our services enable you to benefit from the most recent updates to Cloud technologies and utilize the most advanced versions.
Moreover, our cloud computing offerings exist in many forms and models. You can choose the adequate service model for your business and pay strictly for the service you desire.
There are no fixed exorbitant fees that you have to pay regularly. There are many other advantages to Cloud technologies, such as data backup and disaster recovery. Overall, Cloud enables better productivity and enhances system performance.
Containers
Containers is a modernization technology that refers to a packaging mechanism for deploying and running applications. They enable portability and scalability through the containerization process.
Thanks to containers, applications can be extracted from their actual environment and deployed, run, and tested anywhere.
Microservices
Microservices refer to modular and independent elements that are part of a larger and more complex system.
The microservices approach is used in software development to make repetitive processes within the same system independent and reusable for other software development projects.
They are an effective solution for systems and applications that are becoming more and more innovative and complex.
Automation
Automation in application modernization automatically transforms code into a modern programming language while initially starting from legacy applications. As a result, automation optimizes resources and time since habitual processes are automatized.
Our Application Modernization Patterns
The application modernization process offers many advantages to businesses and optimizes their operations. There are several technologies used to modernize applications and IT systems.
It is also important to mention that application modernization is a structured process that follows specific patterns and organized systems. These patterns are rehosting, refactoring, and re-platforming.
Rehosting
The rehosting pattern consists of migrating an application to a different environment from its current one. Companies adopt this pattern when they want to keep their legacy applications and systems while also benefiting from all the advantages that off-premise data centers offer.
Migrating to Cloud is a prevalent manifestation of the rehosting pattern. Migrating their applications to the Cloud means enterprises would benefit from the scalability, agility, and mobility that Cloud offers.
Rehosting is achieved through altering code within the application to make it more compatible with the Cloud environment.
Refactoring
This refactoring pattern refers to improving the design and structure of systems and applications. This is achieved through rewriting code for better efficiency. Refactoring is used to break up a one-unit application into multiple independent microservices.
Re-platforming
The re-platforming pattern concerns updating and making changes to a legacy system to enable it to run optimally in the Cloud.
However, it only requires modifying specific elements of the legacy system and no significant changes to the code.
For instance, re-platforming enables E-commerce sites to relocate between different platforms.
