Let’s face it: those legacy apps can run up quite a tab. But what are your choices when you’re denied funding for new systems and can’t retire the old?
Two words: application modernization. Over the course of many engagements, Dell Services Federal Government (DSFG) has successfully enhanced application functionality for numerous clients, helping to eliminate technical headaches, while enabling operational cost reductions of 30-70 percent. Application modernization helps federal agencies in particular to redirect these savings to the digitization initiatives that deliver the modern business agility they sorely need—all within annual blanket funding constraints.
Enterprise architects, business application owners and CIOs at federal agencies, take heart. If you are currently grappling with such issues as absent documentation for legacy apps, personnel retirements or lack of agility for implementation of newer technologies like big data, mobility or cloud, it’s possible to “future proof” your apps. An effective apps mod approach that aligns with your agency’s mission and five-year IT plan can help you:
- Save annual operating costs
- Boost system and data processing performance
- Gain scalability for future growth
- Retain stable back end business processes and security
- Bring day-to-day support in-house
DSFG mines the relevant business assets and requirements from your legacy applications in a comprehensive re-architecting process that spans infrastructure, apps, cloud, digital and BPO. You can expect your implementation time to shrink, while you also enjoy impressive increases in system accuracy and a sharp, overall drop in risk.
