Application renewal is not simply a technology challenge but a business imperative. By extending the business life of current IT assets, application renewal has the potential to increase a company's agility, decrease costs and reduce risks—solid support for the journey toward high performance.

Overview

Developed over many years and through work with numerous clients, the EBPO Application Renewal methodology helps organizations identify and move ahead with a legacy transformation that best suits their business goals.

Achieving agility

in an ever-changing climate, companies and governments need quick reflexes to respond to competitive pressures or new regulations. Application renewal smoothes the path toward integration among key stakeholders and enables new Internet-based products and services. Cleaning and compartmentalizing code can reduce the time required to perform enhancements, making legacy systems more agile and more effective.

Reducing risks

All businesses and governments face some element of risk. For chief information officers, top-of-mind risks include the cost of failure for code rewrites and the ongoing issue of unsupported platforms. Application renewal reduces risk by employing robust technology architecture and solid workable code that can be extended as your organization evolves.

Controlling costs

handling mainframe costs is increasingly complex, and maintaining the mainframe requires increased integration in the planned technical architecture. Application renewal reduces future information system support costs and lowers administrative expense through economies of scale and process improvements.

Securing skills

The loss of locked-in knowledge from retiring staff—both user and IT staff—raises skills availability issues, as does the reluctance of younger technology specialists to support traditional tools. Application renewal reduces training needs and helps your organization avoid obsolescence and skill shortages.

Specialty
