Modern Application Lifecycle Management

To create and sustain a competitive advantage, organizations must innovate to differentiate themselves and provide better business services. Innovation delivered through applications can bring about improvement in an organization’s processes, products and customer experiences.

Because applications often run essential services, they may be deemed mission critical - the lifeblood of an organization. If your organization is like most, your applications are growing at a rate of 4 to 7 percent each year. Compounding this challenge is the typically high maintenance cost of legacy applications.

Gartner Group and Forrester Research have discovered that application modernization is now a top priority for most IT organizations. Modernizing applications can release capital from funding traditional maintenance and allow it to be applied toward innovation. Increased innovation enables organizations to deliver new products and services while reducing the time from business request to business outcome.
 

In business terms, application transformation redirects IT spend from maintenance to innovation which can deliver return on investment in as little as 18 months while decreasing time to market for new products and services by up to 50 percent. 

Nth Generation follows a collaborative, step-wise approach to assess and address each client’s unique requirements through the following stages of the application transformation process:

• Application Portfolio Assessment

– Our application modernization specialists assess the current application portfolio and evaluate costs and benefits. Application discovery and portfolio management are crucial steps that allow IT to understand how it supports the business and aids in determining the future of each application.

• Application Modernization

– Applications should be tested frequently and efficiently for functionality, performance and security. If an application is deemed unnecessary, it should be retired. Nth Generation provides decades of experience testing and modernizing applications.

• Application Management

– Once running, it is essential to monitor applications, services and the health of the underlying infrastructure to ensure that requirements for availability, performance and functionality are being met. 

In a marketplace where performance matters more than ever, risk is at an all-time high and costs must be contained. Choosing an experienced and technically advanced business partner prepared for this environment is critical. Nth Generation’s consultants are experts in helping clients develop and execute your unique Application Transformation strategy.
