What is Application Modernization ?Application modernization is the transition of existing applications to new

approaches on the cloud

§ Seeking a solution that provides an iterative approach to application modernization based on the business needs and application complexity.

§ Adoption of practices and technologies aimed at rapid- fire application delivery for business innovation and responsiveness

§ Leverage your existing investments and adopt new technologies at your pace. As your workloads grow, the benefits you receive from the cloud will continue to grow.

Instead of putting all web apps onto a single Liberty instance, separation occurs as part of the transformation. This isn’t micro-services, but it is some level of refactoring

Separate life-cycle management is now possible – This is a better option, assuming there are not a lot of shared dependencies.

Packaging and Entitlement

Enables a hybrid approach to iteratively modernization based on the business needs and application complexity.

IBM Cloud App Platform is licensed through FlexPoints, delivering flexible pricing according to clients needs. As deployment platform mix changes or grows, the FlexPoints can be adjusted.

Provides capability to segment the wide variety of applications a customer might have; automate movement to ICP; and integrate into a DevOps pipeline.

IBM Garage Method offers comprehensive tutorials and courses for customers to follow through the modernization journey.

IBM’s experts have an understanding of your traditional applications, their evolution, and the business outcomes you need to achieve by modernizing your applications.

Promise customers to move all workloads to a container based platform. Provide no guidance on how the customer can iteratively modernize their applications.

Require multi-year services engagements and discard investments made in existing applications.

None

Offer limited blogs and videos on how to modernize WebSphere applications onto their platform.

Limited depth of skills and knowledge of the enterprise; lean towards migrating apps as-is, or driving cloud-native apps. Doesn’t best leverage the existing investment.

IBM solution offers increased agility for applications; and lower risk.

IBM’s approach enables a customer to leverage existing investments while adopting and migrating to a cloud native platform

Customer can opt for a DIY approach with IBM technology depending on the number of applications, their complexity and resources available internally.

IBM offers in-depth content for a customer to learn and modernize their applications if they choose to do so themselves.

Possible bifurcation of applications and architecture strategy, lack of true enterprise app modernization strategy and transformation.
