FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
Answering common questions about Application Modernisation
1. What happens if we don’t modernise — what are the risks of keeping legacy apps?
Cost increase: extraordinary maintenance, licensing extensions, expensive specialized skills needed
Security & Compliance: legacy applications can expose vulnerabilities and open the possibility of cyberattacks
Inability to support digital transformation and integration with modern tools (AI, etc.)
2. If we modernise — what are the risks, costs, and uncertainties involved, and how can we manage them?
- Migration issues: assess and priorities the apps by business value, effort, mission critical
- Business disruption: Identify the best modernisation approach by app and by priority (rehost, replatform, buy) and run phased migrations with parallel operation to ensure continuity
- Cost uncertainty: TCO/ROI modelling based on usage patterns; pilot project before full rollout
3. What value and ROI can modernisation deliver?
- Security and compliancy
- Scalability: more users and workloads
- Employees and customers experience improvement
4. What is a microservices architecture?
A microservice architecture is a way of building software applications as a collection of small, independent services hat is tightly scoped, strongly encapsulated, loosely coupled, independently deployable and independently scalable.
5. What is an application migration service? How much does it cost?
It’s a managed service or a set of tools to move applications between environments e.g. data center to cloud, ensuring applications run smoothly in the new environment. Some of the cost factors include: number of applications and servers, migration strategy (simple lift‑and‑shift vs. full refactoring), testing, licensing and updates (e.g., OS upgrades, disaster recovery setup).
6. What are examples of native apps?
Microsoft Teams, Salesforce, Microsoft Office 365, Uber, Airbnb, ServiceNow.
7. What is Platform As A Service (PaaS)?
Platform as a service (PaaS) is a type of cloud offering that provides software developers with a complete environment e.g. HW, Operating System, databases and dev tools to build, run and manage applications abstracting away servers, storage, and networking. PaaS let teams focus on coding and innovation rather than infrastructure management.
