App Portfolio Assessment
Work with our team to create a list of all existing legacy applications that are under consideration for re-architecting or re-platforming. Then, conduct a SWOT analysis to figure out what should be done with it, and prioritize the list.
App Architecture Assessment
We evaluate each of the following aspects of the application's capabilities: scalability, resiliency, performance, and observability. Additionally, we offer recommendations regarding areas of improvement and their level of effort.
Cloud Native Re-Architecture
Collaborate closely with your architects and developers to design a cloud-native architecture for an existing legacy application.
