Application Modernisation Wrap
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
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.
The solution is deployed by capturing and packaging the legacy application and associated system dependencies into a self-contained logical package, allowing it to run transparently on the new Windows Server OS, whether on the VicGov Private Cloud, Public Cloud or any other hosting location.
