Application Management

Applications are the binding factor for IT and businesses. They enable businesses to operate seamlessly today and accept changes for tomorrow. Its transformation is a must for business success. SMYRNA’s Application Transformation Management services provide a coherent and robust environment for application transformation, development and ongoing management. These services are designed to leverage new technologies like Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, Machine learning, DevOps, etc. along with processes like Agile to help you attain your business and technical vision.

We take a customer-driven approach for application transformation by working closely with your end customers or product management teams to get the right features that are required to get your product or application to a desired position. We leverage AI and ML to augment your product management functions while focusing heavily on adopting re-usable services and customer-first approach in our proprietary Ci-TRUST development model to reduce custom coding as much as possible.

Migrate to Cloud Seamlessly

There are many benefits and impacts of embracing Cloud, which range beyond mere cost savings. Organizations can look towards utilizing the agility, flexibility and speed of cloud services, in order to gain a genuine competitive edge. However, the key challenge here is to select the most appropriate transformation pathway, as there are several Cloud applications, each with its own characteristics, with respect to processes, technologies, and functionalities.

At SMYRNA, we begin the journey to cloud by rationalizing applications in the existing portfolio – identifying the apps that can be moved to the Cloud, upgraded, or sunset. We consult and help you prioritize the apps, decide upon the right path, as well as document business impact and ROI. 

Our Approach

We believe there are three paths to Cloud migration

• Move your applications to the Cloud in a minimally intrusive way
  Containerize the existing application monolith by placing the composite system and all its dependencies in an extremely portable, self-contained cloud environment. This would accelerate moving to the Cloud by significantly reducing refactoring efforts, thereby rapidly realizing benefits.
• Transform to the Cloud by completely rewriting the application
  Decompose elements of the monolith into microservices, with each performing a single function, while also enhancing extensibility – by placing each microservice in its own container on the Cloud.
• Architect new modern applications for the Cloud
  Write new applications for the Cloud using 12-factor design principles, containers, DevOps – based on a microservices architecture for improved use and extensibility. The new cloud-native applications can boost developer productivity, optimize time-to-market, and generate greater value.

Accelerate Your Journey to Cloud

Many a times, you really do not need to re-architect the application when you want to move applications quickly to the cloud. All that’s needed is to containerize the existing monolith and directly move applications to the Cloud. This will quickly realize the benefits of the cloud, while also reducing developmental efforts.

At SMYRNA, we help you shift to the Cloud in a manner that’s rapid and minimally intrusive and the type of applications that can be moved to the Cloud are:

• Applications that are needed to support business-critical applications
  We quickly containerize these key applications with minimal refactoring, deploying them on the Cloud. This ensures that these business-critical applications running in the cloud can continue to function smoothly, without any disruptions.
• Applications with clearly outlined active releases and delivery velocity improvements
  We containerize the application, with the addition of automation in a DevOps environment. This is followed by the movement to the Cloud.
• Applications which require enhanced elasticity and infinite scalability
  We re-platform and/or decouple business processes with high-performance needs; the applications are containerized and finally deployed on the Cloud.

Why SMYRNA

At SMYRNA, we simplify your cloud migration journey, enabling greater effectiveness, agility and deliver quality using the following accelerators.

Simplify Modernization of Applications on the Cloud

For most enterprises, migration to the Cloud is often seen as a business essential. By choosing to modernize legacy applications and transforming them into Cloud Native applications, you could strengthen your existing investments, while also reinforcing key business objectives.

What’s more, you could also realize several Cloud-specific benefits such as agility, flexibility, infinite elasticity and scalability.

At SMYRNA, we action this application modernization process by undertaking the following clearly outlined steps

• Reverse Engineering
  We completely decompose the legacy monolith application and extract the core business logic – proceeding to derive the key business rules and processes. As a part of this, we also extract the integration interfaces, data flows and workflows.
• Architect and Design for the Cloud
  The information obtained from the above step is used to design the fundamental architecture of the new application, effectively leveraging the features of Cloud Native.
• Development of Microservices
  The business logic is now developed as a set of microservices, powered by small, independent teams, with containerized deployment ensuring rapid delivery of new capabilities.
• Management on the Cloud
  Finally, a complete range of management and monitoring services are provided, in order to reduce costs and deliver actionable insights on application behavior and performance on the Cloud.
