What can you say about your legacy applications?

Your business still depends on them but . . . Your legacy applications are running on inflexible, expensive mainframes—with high maintenance costs that starve your technology budget for business innovation. What’s more, the skills required to maintain older applications are disappearing fast. At the same time, you’re suddenly facing a new crop of green-field competitors that move more quickly in the marketplace because they don’t have to contend with the legacy application drain.

What’s your next best move? Don’t let your legacy applications hold you back. Instead, choose to let past investments fuel your drive forward as you transform your legacy applications into a modernized architecture.

Senior IT decision-makers agree: It’s time to modernize.
Based on research conducted by Penn, Schoen & Berland Associates, a recent HP Primary Research Report titled “Pressure Point Index Pulse: Application Modernization” reveals what senior IT decision-makers have to say about application modernization:
  • 94 percent agree that leading, successful companies have a clear, common application modernization strategy
  • 49 percent say their company does not have a coherent strategy
  • 47 percent say their companies have not even started the process
  • 82 percent believe failure to optimize an application modernization strategy is driven by the fragmentation of internal and external stakeholders

Certainly, this study supports the compelling argument for Application Modernization. The next question is: how do you get started?

HP can help you address your unique Application Modernization issues—and take your infrastructure, architecture and application environments to a new level with customized modernization strategies.

Three new ways to go modern
HP’s new visual tools, “factory” approach and state-of-the-art centers provide you with a better understanding of your legacy applications.
  1. Let the past transform the future: HP’s own powerful methodologies and innovative tools, combined with your legacy application experts’ knowledge, provide an in-depth analysis of your current legacy environment. HP Legacy Application Transformation© and Visual Intelligence Tools© help you understand the structure and composition of legacy applications based on scientific analysis. This visualization gives insight into the application qualities that affect the ease or difficulty of modernization, such as structure, size, complexity, patterns and interdependence levels.
  2. Take an industrialized approach: Leveraging our proven experience and new tools, the HP Modernization Factories offer a low-cost, low-risk approach to rehosting and reengineering legacy applications to a standardized environment. This “factory” approach with a robust tool set, processes and methodologies improves repeatability, enabling a more efficient, effective application transformation.
  3. Make the invisible, visible: Situated globally, new HP Modernization Centers house a complete laboratory and demonstration environment, with hardware and software for demos and proof-of-concepts, plus customer briefing rooms. Hands-on participation helps you gain a better understanding of your application environment and modernization projects.

Experience to guide you, whichever path you choose

The Application Modernization experts within HP Services begin every customer engagement by working with you to gain a deep understanding of your enterprise application environment and help you determine the transformation options that are right for you. Once the pathway is selected, each critical application is modernized in turn.
