Application Modernisation
Many government entities rely on legacy applications that only run on outdated Windows operating systems. We offer two Application Modernisation services, Revive and Wrap, to support secure and cost-effective use of these applications into the future.
What is Application Modernisation (AppMod)?
AppMod is a Cenitex service that helps organisations extend the life of critical applications tied to unsupported versions of Windows. It provides secure pathways to modernise or migrate these applications without redevelopment.
Why modernise legacy applications?
Unsupported operating systems create security and compliance risks. They may also require costly Microsoft Extended Security Updates (ESUs). AppMod reduces these risks and costs, while supporting migration to secure, cloud-based environments.
What is AppMod Revive?
Revive modifies application and operating system settings at the native level. This enables legacy applications to run in modern environments at a lower cost, without major changes to the application.
What is AppMod Wrap?
Wrap packages legacy applications so they operate independently of the outdated operating system. This option achieves a near 100% success rate for cloud migration but comes with higher overall costs than Revive.
What is the key difference between the two?
Choose Revive if you’re focused on keeping costs low and can allow more time before moving to the cloud.
Choose Wrap if your priority is a faster, more reliable move to the cloud, even at a higher cost.
