Agility and adaptability are critical for businesses aiming to thrive in today’s fast-evolving markets. Yet, many organizations remain constrained by legacy systems that limit innovation, scalability, and the ability to meet growing customer demands.
Gartner predicts that by 2028, 70% of workloads will run in cloud environments—up from just 25% in 2023—highlighting the growing importance of embracing cloud-native solutions to future-proof systems and remain competitive.
To lead in their industries, companies need systems that are efficient, scalable, and designed for rapid delivery. Modernization reduces costs, accelerates innovation, and unlocks the flexibility needed to drive business growth. However, navigating challenges like technical debt, cloud migration, and operational risks requires not just expertise but also a structured, thoughtful approach.
At intive, we help businesses overcome these challenges and reach the full potential of cloud-enabled modernization.
The cost of outdated technology
Failing to modernize your applications doesn’t just mean missed opportunities—it means losing critical advantages that can affect your business's growth and competitiveness. Without action, you risk:
- Missed revenue from slow performance: legacy applications can drive customers away with slow load times and outdated interfaces, resulting in lost sales and frustrated users.
- Higher maintenance costs: maintaining outdated systems often costs more than investing in modern solutions, draining resources that could fuel innovation.
- Lost competitive edge: as competitors modernize their systems, they adapt faster to market changes, leaving your business struggling with rigid, inflexible legacy technology.
- Security risks: legacy applications are more prone to security breaches, exposing your business to potential data loss, legal liabilities, and reputational damage.
- Wasted time: legacy tools often slow workflows, leading to inefficiencies. Modern systems automate tasks, saving valuable time and enabling teams to focus on growth and innovation.
Laying the groundwork for success
Every modernization journey begins with an evaluation of an organization’s systems, processes, and goals. Identifying the areas (and opportunities) for improvement lays the foundation for a seamless, impactful transformation. Our review process includes:
We analyze the existing product roadmap to prioritize modernization initiatives and ensure they align with strategic business goals.
Our team assesses the technology stack, identifying opportunities to enhance performance, scalability, adaptability and cost effectiveness, all while leveraging cloud-native capabilities to ensure long term success.
We evaluate project setup, governance, team workflows and delivery processes to improve collaboration, accelerate deployment cycles, and enhance overall productivity.
By conducting these assessments, intive creates tailored roadmaps that directly address business challenges, setting the stage for faster, more agile operations that drive long-term success.
intive's approach to application modernization
Navigating the complexities of modernization requires more than technical expertise—it demands a structured methodology that minimizes risks and maximizes business impact. intive’s three-step approach ensures seamless transformation:
1. Discover
A deep understanding of business objectives is gained through Goal Definition Workshops and Focused Assessment & Design phases. This process maps existing systems, identifies gaps, and defines clear, actionable pathways for improvement.
2. Modernize
At this stage, legacy systems are decoupled, modular cloud-native architectures are implemented, and agile development practices are integrated. We also enhance deployment practices through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines. These practices not only accelerate time-to-market and improve scalability but also ensure seamless interoperability with existing systems. By streamlining deployment and operational workflows, we enable faster, more efficient updates, helping your business stay agile and aligned with evolving goals.
3. Productionize
Long-term success is enabled by equipping teams with the necessary tools and strategies to adopt and optimize new systems. Through continuous enablement and cloud-based automation, scalability, resilience, and ongoing business agility are ensured.
