Shift from cost-savings focus to business agility

Businesses’ ability to scale up 3rd Platform adoption will require changes to IT operation that bring agility and overcome siloedlegacy systems. This will make agile development the de-facto norm. - IDC

By 2016, >50% of Application Modernization efforts will address business demand for Enhanced functionality - Gartner

By 2018, agile and iterative development will require 30% of resources for application testing engagements to be on-site or onshore - Gartner

Research suggests that business agility is the new source of business value - Forrester

Application modernization and increasing agility will continue to be a solid driver for Application Development spending, apart from other emerging dynamics of cloud, mobility and social computing - Gartner

By 2016, >50% of application modernization efforts will address business demand for enhanced functionality to legacy applications and not cost reduction. - Gartner

The primary focus of IT will remain on the care and operation of the existing applications, which are the lifeblood of the enterprise - Gartner

Bimodal will gain traction for enterprise strategies - Gartner

Discovery phase

Capture and link strategic drivers, business capabilities, code and data in a unified, transparent model

Analysis phase

Group assets by capabilities, determine the right trajectories, and evaluate the program impacts of technical dependency and complexity.

Planning phase

Collaboratively develop a program plan to address strategic drivers and resolve technical challenges

Costco

Largest membership warehouse club chain in the US benefits from Dell Strategic Modernization Roadmap

Business Challenge

The worlds largest AS/400 system is comprised of over 12 million lines of RPG code and not able to handle Costco’s rapid expansion

Solution

Developed a Strategic Modernization Roadmap for incremental SAP implementation

Results

• An actionable 7-year program plan to migrate to SAP and retire the AS/400, with specific integration requirements at each step

• Minimized legacy integration requirements

• Dell Repository automatically monitors changes to the legacy environment during the 7-year migration

Application re-hosting solutions move existing business logic and data investments onto modern platforms.

Associated Wholesale Grocers (AWG)

Business ChallengeAssociated Wholesale Grocers (AWG) was looking to modernize their core business applications to reduce costs, and prepare to move to the cloud.

SolutionDell undertook a comprehensive assessment and developed a migration plan that included moving off a complex IBM infrastructure to an open system.

Results• Modernized platform supports AWG’s migration to the cloud

• Reduced operating costs by 10%

• Improved disaster recovery capabilities; a recent disaster recovery test validated that the system works and that the investment was worth it

Re-architecture builds a modern application framework based on business functionality, then migrates legacy logic and data into that framework to deliver business agility and reduce future costs.

Methodology & Tools

Phase 3: Develop & Test

Outcomes:

Modernized & tested application source code with migrated legacy data. Uses best practices for SOA and leverages commercial software packages.

Phase 2: Design

Outcomes:

Validated design. Implement legacy and enhancement functionality leveraging modern application and data architecture

Phase 1: Discover & Plan

Outcomes:

Baseline holistic legacy model linking business use to code and data, enhancement requirements, detailed plan with precise scope and accurate estimates

Holistic, integrated code, data and business use case analysisprovide a complete, business-validated requirements baseline combining visible and hidden requirements.

Re-architecting leverages modern frameworks and architecture practices, typically resulting in 75% reduction in lines of source code, and a truly future-proof system

Automated code generation and data modernization capabilities mitigate risks and drive down maintenance cost for the modernized system.

Online collaboration and transparency across the team to simplifies business engagement, and enables distributed teams.
