Application Transformation
Understanding the Application Transformation:
Inside almost every leading business today there’s a world-class software business – driving innovation, agility and outstanding customer experience from within.
To accommodate the increasing complexity of functional requirements, velocity, volume, and variety that current business demands, IT applications need to embrace a variety of architectural patterns. Organizations must meet ever-changing business demands — from mainframe applications and client-server to service oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices.
Our application transformation services close the gap between what your current applications can do and what the cloud-native services and microservices architecture make them capable of. That could be greater efficiency, scale, performance and resilience. But it could also mean entirely new capabilities that create lasting advantage, generate value and drive better outcomes for your customers and your employees.
Synectiks has a proven approach to help you migrate, modernize, and digitally transform your business. We can help you modernize your application portfolio based on APIs, microservices, containers and DevOps for less time to market, improved user experience and optimized cost. Application Transformation Services provide customer the ability to optimize the existing application as follows:
- By migrating existing workloads and apps to any cloud—public or private or hybrid cloud.
- By modernizing traditional applications using containers, microservices and API enablement.
- By taking advantage of cloud-native services without having to rewrite the code.
- By doing Monolith to SOA transformation. Customers enjoy the flexibility to reuse the Synectiks Foundation Microservices components across many applications.
- By adopting the hybrid model where some workload moves to public cloud in private address space ensuring security and performance.
- By having built-in security from the start.
Synectiks open product driven solutions delivery approach coupled with many large scale application transformation experience delivers the speed, innovations, quality and better economics that your current business demands.
Getting Started To Application Transformation
The first step is for CIOs to connect with the business to establish clear lines of communication and set common goals. Within the IT organization, CIOs must set policies that identify the need to prepare for Application modernization as a priority for overall IT strategies and create a clearly defined journey with confidence. Synectiks recommends the following steps
Discovery & Assessment
Evaluate the needs to modernize, standardize, rationalize and consolidate existing applications for greater efficiency and economics, risks involved, and ROI achieved based on real time data and POC’s.
Strategic Planning & Architecture
Develop a roadmap for modernizing and migrating applications and data, substantiated by futuristic architecture.
Application Transformation
Modernize and Consolidate existing applications based on target architecture and continuously optimize it.
People / Process / Technology Alignment
Elevate people skills, operation automation and service agility to support modernized applications.
Our approach is to use a combination of the latest industry tools, processes, experience and best practices, and provide the best solutions to our customers.
The teams perform a quick requirements analysis and GAP analysis to understand the current setup and provide solutions to optimize your applications, storage, databases and overall infrastructure. The very first step, discovery and assessment will give you clear insights on the improved SLA’s and cost savings. You can make informed decisions to balance workloads and optimize resources and thereby, to create a roadmap that guides the journey to Application modernization. This roadmap should map people, process, technology change requirement, consider IT policy and operating model factors; and ultimately produce clear, data-based recommendations with a proposed execution plan to enable Application Transformation. Getting there will require significant upliftment of people skills, imparting modern tools and technologies, transforming and migrating applications, integrating and orchestrating environments, automating and monitoring business services, enabling digital processes, and integrating data and security.
Synectiks Application transformation services provide customer the ability to optimize the existing application as follows:
- By taking advantage of cloud-native services without having to rewrite the code.
- By doing Monolith to SOA transformation. Customers enjoy the flexibility to reuse the Synectiks Foundation Microservices components across many applications.
- By adopting the hybrid model where some workload moves to public cloud in private address space ensuring security and performance.
Synectiks accelerated migration and modernization services allow customer to leverage the data processing benefits of cloud sooner, providing cost-savings and solving scalability issues. Following are the values delivered
Legacy Application Migration
Two ways to extract value from legacy apps, as below
Business Logic: Creating microservices that become APIs enabling business user to assemble various functionalities and truly become an API driven organization with an API centric application architecture. This allows the organization to become a low-code organization where they 'assemble apps' rather than write apps.
Data Lake: Extracting the data in a Data Lake and exposing that data through analytical tools.
Accelerated Migration
With Synectiks Xformation platform, companies can take advantage of an API-driven cloud architecture and get moving faster. Synectiks open Xformation platform offers App/ Delivery/ Automation blocks based on cloud-native services that customers can leverage, to build applications and services rapidly with adequate security and governance.
Delivery Pipeline
Synectiks Xformation platform comes with industry standard CI/CD blueprint infrastructure provisioning and validation, container driven services delivery across clouds, functional testing, performance testing and security testing and stagewise production deployment tasks. By truly adopting a DevOps based cultural adoption, customers can ensure their product quality, security and compliance posture is continually maintained along with the capability to rapidly deliver features and services with ever increasing security and compliance guidelines.
Redevelopment – Microservices Based App Development
Synectiks application development service offering allows customers to realize the real benefit of using cloud-native services and boosting innovation agility. The offering involves application redevelopment to implement use cases for batch processing, workflow processing, transient server less functionality or container based microservices. Synectiks open Xformation platform offers App/ Delivery/ Automation blocks based on cloud-native services that customers can leverage to build application and services rapidly. A typical microservice based enterprise application component diagram is below:
Fast Data & Bigdata Analytics
Synectiks analytic service offering allows customers to create data lake for their unstructured, semi structured and structured data and derive real time visibility across their business processes by doing bigdata processing projects. Synectiks simplifies the operations complexity by running the multistage transactional services, batch workloads and streaming analytics inside a single platform. With Synectiks' deep expertise on hardware aggregations coupled with its analytics services offerings, customers can seamlessly run every mission critical workloads inside a single cluster platform and can truly focus on outcomes.
We go beyond creating a strategy: Synectiks helps you plan it, do it, run it and manage it.
Synectiks reduce the application transformation effort at least by 50% by using open Application blocks (common services for any product), automation blocks and component frameworks built by SYNECTIKS team, so that you can leverage lot of existing code and reuse your existing codebase. A typical large transformation project can take a year-long effort and often don’t yield results. We recommend taking bottom - up approach, take a small piece of functionality, and develop the services and foundation for it rapidly by using existing application blocks and automation framework. You would minimize your risks by investing a small time & money and continue to do so when you see a significant ROI. The key aspect is time. The advantage of making us your microservices partner is, our open source contribution helps us to deliver values that vary rapidly.
