Software Modernization
Make Systems Fit For the Future Again
Every software system is subject to a natural ageing process. Various factors can mean that a system that performed excellently a few years ago can no longer be used optimally today.
The most common factors why you should modernize software:
Implementing Technical Requirements in a More Agile Way
Technical decisions can be made for each microservice within an application, as each microservice stands for itself with its functionality. Requirements for a function can be implemented optimally on a small scale.
Facilitated Quality Assurance
Microservice architectures offer simplified quality assurance, as each microservice is tested individually. Central, lengthy tests lasting weeks or months are therefore a thing of the past. This is especially true if all tests for a microservice can be executed automatically.
Efficient Operation of Microservices
An application with a microservice architecture can respond optimally to availability requirements, as microservices usually function in cluster operation or are operated in a cloud platform. Microservice applications are therefore also individually scalable.
Fast Implementation
When implementing microservices, the development team benefits from the modularity. Small specialist teams can take care of a service holistically, build up expertise and operate it optimally. The microservice modules are usually provided via a continuous integration system. Due to the strict separation via interfaces, each microservice can be implemented with its own technology stack. There is no restriction to Java, C# or similar.
Mangelnde Qualität
The rollout of a microservice application is usually automated using continuous delivery pipelines right through to production. The availability of the entire application is thus always maintained, even if a sub-functionality is temporarily unavailable.
There comes a point when the effects of old software (legacy software) are no longer acceptable to you. Regardless of when you make this decision: whether at the first signs or only when production-relevant failures occur – we help you modernize your software to make your system landscape fit for the future again.
Modernize or Replace Legacy Systems?
The most important success factor is choosing the right modernization strategy. Whether you simply revise your existing system selectively, improve the networking with other systems or have it developed from scratch depends on various issues:
- How important is the application in the overall process?
- Do the shortcomings lie more in functionality, usability, maintainability or stability?
- How often do errors occur and how many users are affected?
In general, we recommend keeping interventions to a minimum. However, depending on the severity of the symptoms, it may also make sense to completely replace the system. Our experts will work with you to find the right approach. To this end, we use our systems to set up efficient software production – from business and development through to operation. With our support, you can develop your software yourself or purchase a finished product from us. Let's talk and see how we can help you.
