Application Modernization with Cloud Migration

Overview of App Modernization and Cloud Migration

80% IT BudgetSpent on maintenance and upkeep

Application Changesbecome too complex, difficult,and/or costly to implement

Stuck Keeping the Lights Onmaking it difficult to keep up with

accelerated standards

Application Modernization focuses on improving the value proposition of our technology.

It re-positions IT as an asset, not a cost-center.

Components of Application Modernization

Improving the way value is delivered

Improving the way value is designed

Improving the way value is built

Improving the way value is run

Do NOT leave modernization in the hands of developers.

Cloud Migration focuses on moving workloads from on premises to a cloud provider.

Some cloud migrations move from one provider to another.

Meet Neovencia

Large portfolio of disparate and redundant applications as a result of heavy merger and aquisition activity

Neovencia’s problems

Need hardware upgrades and license renewals that are roughly 110% of 2020 IT Budget

Neovencia’s problems

The Insurance industry is facing multiple disruptive forces, and Neovencia is struggling to keep up

Neovencia’s problems

The need for modernization is being driven by the business climate and pressure for better outcomes

Neovencia’s problems

“IT is measured by keeping costs low, but we are measured on ROI and profitability.

Our respective goals are becoming increasingly incompatible.”
