Icon

Modernizing legacy applications is an essential step for businesses to remain competitive in today’s fast-paced digital world. However, before beginning any modernization effort, it is crucial to assess the existing applications’ technical health. This process, known as technical assessment, helps businesses identify their legacy application’s strengths and weaknesses and determine the best path forward for modernization. In this article, we will discuss how technical assessment is the first step in modernizing legacy applications and how Valtira can help businesses with this process.

What is Technical Assessment?

Technical assessment is a comprehensive evaluation of an application’s technical health, including its architecture, code quality, performance, security, and scalability. It involves reviewing the existing application’s codebase, databases, infrastructure, and other relevant systems to identify issues that could impact the application’s functionality, reliability, and maintainability. The technical assessment process helps businesses understand the risks and costs associated with legacy applications and make informed decisions about modernization efforts.

Why is Technical Assessment important for Modernizing Legacy Applications?

Modernizing legacy applications can be a complex and costly undertaking. Technical assessment is the first step in the modernization process, and it plays a critical role in determining the most effective modernization approach. By identifying technical issues and potential roadblocks, businesses can develop a clear modernization roadmap that prioritizes high-value improvements and minimizes disruption to the business.

Technical assessment also helps businesses estimate the time and resources required for modernization efforts. By identifying technical debt, redundant systems, and inefficient processes, businesses can allocate resources more effectively and ensure that their modernization efforts address the most critical technical issues.
