Modernisation
Your way of working -
without the complexity
How application modernisation helps
Often it seems that replacing or upgrading your applications is the only way forward, but doing so can mean losing key customisations and processes built over the years that are central to your way of working.
Your customers are requesting access to information you store and you want to share it in an interesting and engaging way. Currently this isn't possible with your applications.
You want the benefits enabled by cloud hosting but you don't want the extensive programme of work to move all of your on-prem systems and map established business processes for continuity.
You have part of your core system that gets circumvented because it's not intuitive or straightforward to use. You need to keep the function, but enhance the user experience.
Integration
A solid API Management strategy enables you capitalise on your existing IT assets to increase innovation, better connect your customers, transform your legacy systems and access superior technical features in your existing and future IT investments.
At Jade Digital, we make the effort to keenly understand your business’ goals and enhance the delivery of those goals through superior API integration and technology.
Encapsulation
Encapsulation is one of the more common application modernisation techniques. It involves packaging up a part or parts of your application into easy self-service solutions. For some of our clients this has come to life through a web application for their customers to access their account data, a mobile app for reading stock availability and sales, and a cloud hosted gateway to gated IP for industry affiliates.

Rehosting
Cloud hosting may now be the norm, but it may not have been in the picture when your applications were originally developed. Moving to the cloud doesn't mean you need to reinvent the wheel, rehosting will see your applications rebuilt to be cloud native with revised architecture, or 'lifted and shifted' to make the most of cloud capabilities and tools. For some of our clients we've rebuilt significant document repositories, while others have shifted employee or customer engagement portals or relocated their main ERP.
Find out how Skipton Building Society partnered with Jade to move their document management repository to the cloud and avoid erasing years of customisations, and re-writing business processes.
Rebuilding
It can seem extreme, but rebuilding an application that serves you well to enable even more features, enhanced security and functionality, simply makes good sense. There is little disruption to BAU and the transition for users is seamless. When rebuilding it is important to review user processes, documentation and your long-term architecture goals to best navigate risk and enhance value for your application in its' new cloud environment.
