Application Modernisation Revive
Supporting secure and cost-effective use of legacy applications into the future.
Application Modernisation 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.
Service Summary
Revive provides a pattern-based approach that 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.
Revive aims to extend the product lifecycle of legacy applications running on end of support (EOS) and outdated Microsoft Operating Systems (Windows Server 2000, 2003, 2008, 2012, 2016 including 32 & 64-bit compatibility).
