NLApplication Modernization Services
Application modernization services incorporate various activities, such as re-engineering, migration to the cloud, redesign, tech stack modernization, etc. They aim at improving system performance, enhancing business parameters, and making it more scalable.
About Application Modernization Services

The process of app modernization often starts with a careful assessment of the current state of your systems. This includes evaluating tech stacks, code quality, performance, security, scalability, and compliance. Based on this, you can create a modernization strategy that includes the activities and outlines the goals.
The scope of software modernization services may vary depending on the needs and problems of a particular application. The services may include application modernization consulting, UI/UX redesign, cloud migration, application re-architecting, re-hosting, and code optimization.
