Application Modernization Roadmap

Future-Proof Your Application Portfolio with a Strategic Modernization Plan

At AIM, we help organizations turn data into their most valuable strategic asset. Our Advanced Analytics & Artificial Intelligence(AI) practice equips businesses with the insights, automation, and predictive power needed to thrive in a dynamic, digital-first world. We don’t just deployAI—we align it with your mission, amplify your capabilities, and operationalize it at scale.
Why Modernize?
Many core business applications were built for a different era. While still functional, they often create bottlenecks, hinder scalability, and lack support for AI, automation, or composable architectures. We help organizations:

Improve performance, resilience, and scalability
‍
Reduce technical debt and operational cost
‍
Enable faster innovation and release cycles

Integrate AI and modern user experiences

Comply with security and governance standards

Our Modernization Roadmap Approach

Our Modernization Roadmap Approach

Assessment & Strategic Planning

We begin with a comprehensive application portfolio assessment—evaluating business fit, technical fitness, and modernization potential using models such as TIME (Tolerate, Invest,Migrate, Eliminate). This includes:

  • Legacy system analysis
  • Technical debt evaluation
  • Business capability mapping
  • AI-readiness and cloud-native feasibility

Tailored Modernization Strategy

Based on assessment findings, we design a fit-for-purpose strategy using one or more of thefollowing approaches:

  • Rehosting(Lift-and-Shift)
  • Refactoring or Replatforming to enhance agility
  • Rebuilding or Rewriting to enable intelligent, cloud-native apps
  • Encapsulation for modularization via APIs and microservices

Roadmap Design & Prioritization

We create a phased execution roadmap aligned with your business priorities. This includes

  • Milestone-driven implementation plans
  • DevOps enablement and CI/CD integration
  • Business case development with cost-benefit analysis
  • Governance models and change management plans

Execution & Transformation

Post-implementation, we support performance tuning, capability extensions, and the integration of AI services, analytics, and automation. Our managedservices include

  • Application monitoring and performance management
  • Incident resolution and ongoing enhancements
  • Change and release management
  • L1/L2 application support

Intelligent Application Enablement

Modern applications are expected to be adaptive, data-driven, and AI-powered. As part of your roadmap, we help infuse intelligent capabilities such as

  • Adaptive user experiences
  • Embedded intelligence and analytics
  • Autonomous orchestration of workflows
