What is Application Modernisation?

Application Modernisation is the practice of updating an organisation’s existing applications to a cloud-first model. App Modernisation can take many forms – as identified by the Garner “5 Rs” model.

Rehost

Rehosting, also known as “Lift and shift”, is about moving apps into cloud platforms as-is. For example, moving an on-premises application server into an Azure Virtual Machine.

Replatform

Take advantage of PaaS service scalability by re-platforming. For example, re-platforming a web application from self-managed web servers to Azure App Services or leveraging AKS.

Refactor

Make changes to your application to leverage cloud-native offerings and empower future features. Adopt technologies such as CosmosDB, Azure Cognitive Services, Messaging Architectures with Azure Service Bus or Azure Event Grid and the latest Open AI offerings.

Rebuild

Assessment may reveal that an existing application is no longer fit-for-purpose. In this instance, a full rebuild may be required. This is a more significant undertaking that may be essential, and we have the capabilities to deliver a full rebuild for you using the latest technologies.

Replace

Finding a ready-made solution that better fits your needs can be faster than and more cost-effective than rebuilding and can also free up resources to be redeployed elsewhere. Both rebuilding and replacing involve challenges and risks, which we will help you navigate.

What do we do

Mantel Group can guide your organisation through the complete App Modernisation journey. We start by assessing and documenting your existing workloads. Then we help navigate the many modernisation options available from the Gartner “5Rs” model. We will collaborate to develop a solution design and business case based on your specific needs and Microsoft best practices leveraging our cloud offerings, such as the Well-Architected-Framework and Azure Landing Zones.

Mantel Group can then fully execute or assist internal teams in all aspects of App Modernisation delivery – from Developer Experience, DevOps and project planning through to development, testing, deployment, acceptance, operations and monitoring.
