What application modernization involves
Application modernization changes more than the hosting. It is the chance to rebuild the delivery pipeline, standardize security controls, and shorten the time between a requested change and a release. The organizations that get the most from it treat it as an engineering program with an owner, a sequence, and a definition of done.
SEYA runs that program with you. We start with an assessment of the application portfolio and the infrastructure underneath it, agree which applications to rehost, containerize, or rebuild, then do the engineering with DevOps practices and open-source platforms such as Kubernetes. Your team is in the work from the first sprint, so the result is yours to operate.
How the work is sequenced
Planning
Planning
Set the goals before anything moves. We inventory the applications and environments in scope, assess dependencies, cost, and risk, and agree a sequence with your architects.
Implementation
Implementation
Work proceeds application by application. An iterative approach lets you change scope or priority as you learn, and each step leaves a working, documented system behind.
Operations
Operations
Modernization continues after the move. We set up the automation, monitoring, and governance your team needs to secure, manage, and tune the applications on their new platform.
One approach across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud
We design for whichever platform fits your estate, and we have delivered on all three:
What changes for your team
Reliability
Reliability
High availability, disaster recovery, backups, and monitoring are built into the platform as code, so recovery is a tested, repeatable procedure.
Security
Security
Managed platform services, automated patching, and a delivery pipeline with security checks built in, reviewed with your security team.
Agility
Agility
Containerized, well-structured applications can be changed and redeployed quickly as the business asks for something new.
Faster delivery
Faster delivery
Cloud tooling and automated pipelines cut the time between a code change and a release in production.
Continuity
Continuity
Your current processes keep running while the change is made, with compute right-sized to what each application needs.
Security
Pipeline checks, secrets handling, and admission rules for a modernized application are designed as DevSecOps work. This page covers the application change. It does not certify the result.
Industries
Application modernization comes up most often in these sectors, where regulated data, seasonal load, or ageing line-of-business systems mean a lift and shift on its own is not enough.
Credit Unions
Education
Telecommunications
Media & Entertainment
Technology
Retail & E-Commerce
Tools and Services
Organizations modernizing applications have several technologies to choose from. These are the ones we use most often:
On-demand compute, storage, and managed services billed as you use them, in place of hardware bought ahead of demand
Application code and its dependencies packaged together, so the same build runs in development, test, and production
An architecture that splits an application into independently built and deployed services, so a team can change one part without redeploying the whole
Infrastructure, configuration, and deployment handled by code and pipelines, which removes manual steps and makes every change repeatable and auditable
Managed services for training and serving models on the data your applications already produce
Tools
The assessment looks at each application's readiness for cloud-native operation: high availability, security, deployment automation, and total cost of ownership (TCO).
