Utilizing Microsoft’s robust security toolkit, Quisitive secures our customers’ businesses with modern security protocols.
Quisitive’s On-Ramp to Application Modernization (ORTAM) program is a systematic, iterative approach led by application modernization, migration, and security experts to kickstart your innovation and application security.
On-Ramp to Application Modernization Program
- Identify applications & dependencies
We begin by cataloging your organization’s applications by collecting detailed internal documentation and adding your domain knowledge, enabling a complete, holistic view of your estate.
- Expand to evaluate the environment
By leveraging an advanced toolset, we expedite the collection of critical information from the source data that informs your modernization options in the cloud and supports your portfolio strategy.
- Define modernization waves
After evaluating the environment, we group applications based on similarities, such as codebase, complexity, compliance requirements & dependencies, to create modernization waves.
- Modernize the applications
Now that we understand the estate, the applications, and the grouping, we can dive deeper and select the first 20% of applications to modernize by determining an end state for each application that positions your organization for the future.
