Achieve the Benefits of Product Modernization

To continuously improve and evolve your technology products is not a choice, it’s an imperative. In an era of constant change, legacy systems can impede operations, cause downtime, increase risk, and otherwise sabotage your business objectives. Modernization of both the products you build and the processes you deploy across the entire SDLC is essential to ensuring top-line growth and competitive advantage against a new generation of digital-native startups. As an added incentive, many tech companies are discovering that modernization is more cost-effective than starting from scratch.
Wherever you are on the modernization journey, Xoriant can provide the deep technology know-how, proven processes, and domain experience to help you realize the benefits while mitigating the disruption. All at once, or one step at a time.
6 Stages of Modernization

Technology Upgrade
Your technology stack is the foundation of modernization strategy and roadmap. Each layer may require partial or major re-engineering and upgrades if the stack is approaching end-of-life (EOL) and will not support today’s evolving requirements, security vulnerabilities, and open-source alternatives. If EOL issues are left unattended, failures and disruptions may impact your team’s ability to support and integrate any changes to your environment, platforms, and infrastructure. Xoriant helps technology creators upgrade and optimize their technology stacks for agility, performance, and ROI.

Architecture Transformation
To be a truly modern product, it is likely that the software will need to be reactive, fully automated, distributed (leveraging microservices), able to process multiple forms of data and advanced analytics, and be accessible across interfaces, devices, and channels. Achieving that level of modernization will likely involve architecture transformation. We have the expertise to help you define the right approach through the evolutionary architectural pattern for exposing your business capabilities, building self-service access to data, and advanced delivery infrastructure.

Cloud Enablement
Ready to reap the competitive advantages of public, private, or hybrid cloud platforms? Do you have a cloud strategy that prioritizes migrating applications, workloads, and infrastructure to one or more of the leading cloud providers? You’re on the right track, but to accelerate your cloud time to value, you may want to explore the 12-factor philosophy adopted by Xoriant with additional practical aspects through our experience that employs lift and shift, partial-refactor, or complete refactor to migrate or cloud-enable applications and assets.

Automation
Modern application development encompasses agile processes, CI/CD lifecycle management, and a DevOps culture. However, CI/CD and QA can become all-consuming unless many functions are automated. To avoid bottlenecks, automation of microservices and container deployment and management is becoming a prerequisite for agile development.

Analytics Enablement
Real-time analytics, machine learning, predictive analytics, business visualization – these are second only to the cloud as the defining features of modern applications. We can help you add these capabilities to your products, enabling them to perform in modern environments characterized by massive volumes and varieties of data, and constant change. New technologies are essential to deriving powerful insights, determining probabilistic events, identifying patterns and making informed decisions and more -- with minimal human intervention.

UX and Accessibility
Whether your app users are human beings or other applications, the experience must be seamless, intuitive, and consistent across platforms and devices. To ensure easy access and usability, your product should act as a platform -- open to new interfaces -- without requiring re-architecting every time.

"When customers engage with us early in their modernization journey, we save them significant efforts by assessing their modernization goals and using advanced engineering methods and technologies like cloudification, microservices, ecosystems, and open APIs for achieving the goals."

The Key to Avoid ISV Death Spiral

ISVs must embrace technology modernization and transform their legacy software into digital native applications, that can be deployed either as an enterprise SaaS or as part of a digital platform.
In this changing landscape, how should tech companies stay competitive?
Container Adoption Surging!

By 2023, more than 70% of global organizations will be running more than two containerized applications in production, up from less than 20% in 2019.

Container adoption is growing more rapidly than expected.
Cloud Adoption to Reduce Costs?

Through 2024, nearly all legacy applications migrated to public (IaaS) will require optimization to become more cost-effective. Cloud providers will continue to strengthen their native optimization capabilities to encourage adoption and migration.

Legacy apps migrated to public cloud IaaS may need optimization first.
Dramatic Shift Toward DevOps

The DevOps software market is projected to grow from $2.9 billion in 2017 to $6.6 billion in 2022. The inclusion of AI and security in DevOps, as well as a dramatic shift toward automation, are among predictions for DevOps in 2020.
