Migrate and then modernize, OR modernize and then migrate
Sometimes organizations are forced to move off a platform in a relatively short period of time. Issues such as poor reliability, lack of replacement parts, or exorbitant running costs can mean that the priority is to switch off the old hardware as soon as possible. In these circumstances a rapid migration of the applications running on the old platform can be a high priority.

In other situations, for instance when a vendor announces a time-line for the end of life for a particular hardware platform, migrating the application may not be an immediate priority but something that needs to be factored into the medium term planning for the application lifecycle. In these circumstances there may be more urgent priorities, such as, introducing new business processes by making some targeted technical improvements to the system.

In this case the Transoft Modernization Solutions allow you to implement new technologies around the existing application, before you migrate it. For example, you may want to upgrade the user interface to a GUI or browser before you migrate the application, or rewrite some modules in Java, or Microsoft .NET, keeping them fully integrated with the legacy application. The Transoft Modernization Solutions are compatible with our Migration Solutions so when it comes time to migrate any modernization features you have implemented can be simply move at the same time, without re-engineering the application.

Whether you want to ‘move and improve’, or ‘improve, then move’ Transoft has the complete solution set for you!
