Profound AppEvo
Beyond Modernization: Futurize Your Legacy Applications
Reimagine What’s Possible with Your Critical Business Applications
Your IBM i (AS/400) systems have reliably powered your business for decades. But in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape, reliability alone isn’t enough. Your vision for the future deserves technology that can keep pace.
Introducing Profound AppEvo: The flexible, AI-enhanced approach to application transformation that puts your business vision first while ensuring uninterrupted operations through our revolutionary built-in coexistence technology.
Your Vision, Our Expertise: A Transformation Approach As Unique As Your Business
Unlike vendors pushing one-size-fits-all solutions, Profound AppEvo aligns with your strategic direction. We combine the right mix of transformation approaches (the 6Rs) with powerful automation to create a customized roadmap that supports your business objectives:
Refactor: Transform legacy code to modern open-source code, and monolithic code into modular.
Rewrite: Create new applications when necessary
Rearchitect: Reimagine applications for modern architectural patterns
Retain: Keep what works while transforming around it
Replace: Substitute components with modern equivalents (in whole or in part)
Retire: Eliminate unnecessary components
Seamlessly flow between applications at any stage of futurization(on and/or off platform and/or hybrid) within the same browser session.
Unmatched Risk Reduction Through Revolutionary Coexistence
Seamless Integration
Transformed applications work alongside legacy systems
Phased Implementation
Transform at your own pace, one application or module at a time
Business Continuity
Keep critical operations running without interruption
Adaptive User Experience
Allow users to gradually adapt to new interfaces
Financial Flexibility
Spread investment over time while realizing immediate benefits
Responsive Agility
