CI&T Application Modernisation Assessment

Are you struggling with critical applications that live on a legacy stack? CI&T's Application Modernisation Assessment is designed to help you transition your vital applications to modern, secure, and efficient architectures without compromising their critical role in your business operations. By leveraging Generative AI, we streamline the modernisation process, reducing manual effort and risks.

Why Modernise?

Many companies face challenges with outdated technology stacks. Modernisation is crucial for security, efficiency, and embracing advancements. An AWS report indicates that modernising on AWS can cut IT costs by 63%, accelerate time-to-market by 59%, and enhance performance by 47%. The main drivers for modernisation include the need for faster innovation, bolstered security, compliance, and operational resilience. This transformation enables organisations to innovate faster, reduce time to market, exceed customer expectations, meet regulatory requirements, safeguard sensitive data, and ensure high availability and disaster recovery, ensuring seamless business continuity. By integrating Generative AI, CI&T further enhances these benefits by automating complex tasks such as code refactoring, documentation, and testing.

Modernisation Pathways

Modernisation is the process of transforming existing applications, infrastructure into higher-value, cloud-native services, combined with agile processes that allows teams to deliver value more quickly, frequently, intelligently, and reliably to customers. Modernisation can be achieved effectively and efficiently through modernisation pathways; a framework of common application, database, and analytics modernisation patterns and a prescriptive delivery path to get to the target architecture.

We leverage several AWS cloud native services when modernising along each pathway such as:

• Move to Cloud Native: AWS Lambda, AWS API Gateway, AWS ECS, AWS EKS
• Move to Containers: AWS ECS, AWS EKS, AWS AppRunner, AWS Fargate
• Move to Managed Data: Amazon Aurora, Amazon DynamoDB, Amazon RDS
• Move to Managed Analytics: AWS Lake Formation, Amazon Redshift, Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, AWS Glue, Amazon Quicksight, AWS s3, AI/ML Service Enablement
• Move to Open Source: Amazon Aurora, .NET Core on Linux, Porting assistant for .NET, Microservice Extractor for .NET
• Move to Modern DevOps: Amazon Code*, AWS CDK, AWS CloudFormation, AWS CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray

Our Approach

CI&T’s structured Application Modernisation Assessment utilises our in-house Generative AI toolset /Flow (at no cost to you) to deliver:

• Current State Review: Starting with desired business outcomes, we conduct a thorough review of your existing application, its current pain points, dependencies, integrations and the underlying legacy stack. Using our GenAI tool /Flow Refiner, we automate the documentation and analysis process, ensuring a rapid but detailed and accurate assessment.
• Future State Determination: Collaborating with your team, we define a vision for the application’s future, using AI insights to prioritise features that deliver maximum business value.
• Modernisation Roadmap: We provide a High-Level Design (HLD), effort estimates for implementation, and a prioritised backlog of tasks, with our GenAI based tool /Flow Refiner enhancing accuracy and feasibility.

Deliverables

• Current State Analysis Report: Comprehensive documentation of your application, accelerated by GenAI based codebase analysis.
• Future State Vision: An actionable vision for your application's modernised state in the form of HLD.
• Estimate and Backlog: A detailed estimate for modernisation and a prioritised task backlog.

Benefits

• Accelerated Development Lifecycle: Faster innovation and time to market through AI-powered automation.
• Enhanced Security and Compliance: Improved security features, compliance posture assisted by our GenAI based /Flow Coder agents for vulnerability assessment.
• Increased Efficiency: Utilisation of the latest technologies for better performance and scalability.
• Reduced Technical Debt: Transition from outdated technologies, lowering long-term maintenance costs.
• Business Continuity: Maintain the operational effectiveness of critical applications during modernisation.
