Application Migration
Many organizations are facing challenges around applications which have become core to their business. Often times, these applications were not developed to scale to the need, or they have
grown over time due to the efforts of multiple developers or development teams. These applications are extremely valuable to the business, but it becomes increasingly apparent that they
must be migrated to a more cohesive platform and architecture.
Net Fusion builds enterprise software. It's our background; things like security, scalability, extensibility and total cost of ownership are second nature to our team.
Deciding when to Migrate
There is no hard and fast rule for determining when to migrate an existing application, however there are key indicators to look for:
Am I unable to scale the application to meet my business needs?
Is the application written in outdated technology (VB6, Access, FoxPro, ASP, JSP, etc)?
Am I having trouble maintaining the application? Is it hard to find developers who understand what has been written??
Do I need major changes made that will require bolting on new parts to the application, or using it in ways that it was not designed for??
Is the user experience poor?
Application Validation
Application Validation is the process of thoroughly examining a piece of software to critically determine if it is fit for further usage, promotion to greater responsibilities, expansion,
revision or all of the above. Put more simply, your company has invested money in buying or building systems; have they been worth the investment? Can you count on them?
Quantifying your Assets
Net Fusion can assist by examining software and databases and making a recommendation on the technical and economic feasibility of the desired usage of the application. Our experience in
designing and developing many applications translates into valuable knowledge of best practices and practical understanding of what works, and what doesn't. Over the years, we have learned
the lessons so you don't have to.
Dealing with known entities is important when determining the valuation of a business, especially if the organization is publicly traded, considering acquisition, or raising capital. Application
Validation can also be extremely valuable when an organization is dealing with a vendor who may be maintaining or developing systems that are in question. Having an objective, documented,
professional opinion allows you to make more informed decisions.
