Software Modernization

Do you operate key aspects of your business on a custom developed application? Does this system now present you with challenges? Perhaps it:

• Needs just minor functionality adjustments to meet your new needs
• Has gotten slow or crashes often
• Can’t keep up with new technology demands, like integration with Smart Phones or the Web
• Is no longer supported
• Lacks appropriate security controls

Are software vendors proposing expensive new software?
Have you factored in user retraining, data conversion, and down-time?

Here are but a few facts that software vendors don’t want you to know In many cases, your “failing” systems can get a new lease on life, and provide YEARS more service. This can be accomplished by modernization.

The process often varies on a case-by-case basis, where parts of your systems are replaced or moved to faster infrastructures. Equally, tie-ins or links can be established to adapt your systems for use with other applications, including smart phones, web sites, email, and more.

Methodology

Using a combination of automation tools and our own programs, we can execute a smooth transition of your systems, which enables users to operate with minimal interruption while preserving the integrity of your data. Prior to any modernization project, we’ll meet with you to:

• Review current systems
• Assess the challenges

• Validate and deploy your new and improved system

Key Benefits of modernizing your systems

Reduced capital expenditures. Re-hosting means you avoid investing in new, cost-prohibitive systems that typically require a lump sum or sizeable down payment. Re-hosting presents a more equitable and manageable payment scheme in which you only pay for what you need.

Minimized training time and resources. Since your core application remains intact after it's re-hosted, minimal training will be required to get users familiarized with its new environment. By contrast, the learning curve associated with adopting new systems can be steep, which presents a significant drain on resources.

Application integrity. Keep working with the same application but under a faster, more flexible and secure platform.

Scalability & Memory. Your newly hosted programs can accommodate more users, plug-in applications and store more data - a software solution that grows with your business.
