The first step in your modernization journey
A discovery assessment is typically the starting point of a modernization initiative. The solution gathers information that includes current technologies, lines of business, programming languages, database-management systems, interfaces, and third-party software. Using these findings, Application Discovery creates a visual diagram of the mainframe environment, including code dependencies and complexity. The assessment helps rationalize the application portfolio and architecture in ways that can help organizations plan the general direction of future-state technology transformation.
The potential business benefits of Application Discovery
Discovery can reduce risk during code modernization by helping you understand the structure and interdependencies of legacy applications. It creates an inventory of all technical assets, which can help improve maintenance and operations, and delivers a strategy for future-state IT and modernization.
After performing the diagnostic, our Application Modernization team conducts a Q&A session to clarify findings and answer questions raised by the assessment. Discovery is typically completed within six weeks, which allows you to get a prompt start on legacy code transformation.

How modernized IT systems can help businesses thrive in a post-pandemic world
The COVID-19 pandemic has created uncharted waters for businesses across industries, and retail and consumer products companies are no exception. Consumer buying patterns have rapidly shifted to online retailers that offer essential items like food, cleaning mainstays, and medication. So while sales may be robust among retailers that provide essential products, those that sell nonessential products like apparel and beauty services are facing challenges.
Retail purchases at stores, gas stations, restaurants, bars, and online fell by a seasonally adjusted 8.7 percent in March compared with the previous month, according to the US Department of Commerce. That represents the sharpest monthly decline since the government began keeping records in 1992. Despite the bleak forecast, it’s important to remember that the economy will recover, and demand for retail and consumer products will likely rebound. What’s unknown is the speed and extent of recovery across sectors, as well as how altered customer and employee behaviors will persist in a post-pandemic world. Read the full article to learn more.
