Application Modernization Roadmap

Application Modernization Roadmap is defined using the Wipro’s approach of Application portfolio assessment. Application Portfolio Assessment helps identify legacy systems/applications suitable for retain, retire, re-write or modernize. Wipro’s assessment methodology also helps customers in analyzing and defining the ROI from modernization.

Re-hosting

Re-hosting is the process of moving the applications out of mainframes to an open system environment like Windows/Linux/Unix where an equivalent of a mainframe environment is provided. In Re-hosting, the business logic and data of legacy mainframe applications remains intact in the new platform. Wipro's Re-hosting services helps in reducing the annual cost of maintenance of the applications by atleast 40%.

Re-write/Re-engineer

Wipro’s Re-write services helps convert legacy applications (Cobol, Visual Basic, Power Builder, C++/VC++, etc) to multi tier applications, based on J2EE or Dot Net using Wipro’s re-write/re-engineer methodology.

Legacy Architecture Simplification/Re-architect

Wipro’s Legacy Architecture Simplification/Re-architect services help transforming your legacy application into an n-tiered application while preserving core business functionality of the legacy system and eliminating constraints of legacy applications.

Retro-documentation

Typically legacy applications have no proper documentation in place, due to which maintaining the legacy applications has always been challenging. Poor documentation also leads to more time in making changes based on changing business conditions. Wipro’s Retro-documentation services provide rules documentation services for legacy applications.

Rules Extraction

Wipro’s Rules Extraction services will help your legacy applications in externalization of Business rules (using Business rules engine) which will drive agility to respond to changes in business conditions.

Middleware Modernization

Wipro’s Middleware Modernization services helps porting of application running on one/old application server and middleware platforms to another/latest application server platform. (e.g. Weblogic to Websphere, etc).

Other Modernization services - Service Enablement/Web Enablement

We also provide Service Enablement (integration) using SOA principles and Web Enablement (screen scrapping) services on the legacy applications like mainframes, HP OpenVMS, etc.
