IT Modernization is the refactoring, re-purposing or consolidation of legacy IT solutions to align more closely with current business needs, manage operational risk and leverage emerging technologies.

The goal of an IT modernization project is to mitigate risk, reduce operational costs and create new business value from existing applications and infrastructure.

Aligning IT goals, business goals, risk and capital investments to create future value should be at the core of any modernization initiative. Once this is understood, the process of selecting which technologies, tactics and strategies are right for your business.

Today, many organizations are seriously considering adopting cloud computing, the next major milestone in technology and business collaboration

A supercharged version of delivering hosted services over the Internet, cloud computing potentially enables organizations to increase their business model capabilities and their ability to meet computing resource demands while avoiding significant investments in infrastructure, training, personnel, and software

A key element to being able to leverage the benefits of cloud computing is being able to migrate applications from where they are today into the cloud

Being able to understand and execute on the following are critical success factors for benefits realization and risk mitigation:

• Defining what should be moved into the cloud, and when, based on business value
• Defining the cost and implications of the move
• Understanding and managing Enterprise Risk Management implications
• Migrating the applications in an efficient and effective manner

Rone Consulting, via our IT Modernization competency, enables you to clearly identify:

• What applications you should move into the cloud and when based on maximum business value
• The affinities and linkages between applications and other components of the compute stack and their associated implications for migration
• The most effective way to migrate applications either through technology-assisted migrations, manual deployments or expedited, factory-based migrations

In addition to helping you assess and identify the key enablers above, Rone Consulting will work with you to effectively and efficiently migrate applications from legacy infrastructure into the cloud, using either technology-assisted migrations, manual deployment paths or expedited, factory-based migrations.
