Organizations are under intense pressure today to modernize their business applications in the cloud to increase their agility, accelerate time to market, reduce costs and, in some cases, reinvent the way they do business. And it’s not just startups and market innovators. Nearly every business will need to embrace the cloud and modernize legacy applications to compete in the future.
Apexon’s application modernization offerings enable enterprises to increase business agility and resilience with scalable cloud-native applications.
We help development teams lay the foundation for cloud-native architecture with a continuous delivery model that modernizes complex legacy systems. Our all-in-one services include cloud enablement, industry-specific development solutions, ongoing application management, and continuous improvement to equip businesses to:
We support a variety of use cases:
Apexon enables development teams to leverage the full power of public cloud with minimum changes to applications by adopting cloud-native services as replacements for data, streaming, API management, logging, monitoring, and alerting. Apexon also helps with re-architecting — migrating from monolithic to Microservices (or serverless) architecture to boost agility and improve business continuity. The result is:
Apexon equips delivery teams to build responsive, resilient, self-healing, secure and auto-scalable serverless applications, without worrying about capacity planning and monitoring. By leveraging the managed concurrency and routing provided by the public cloud, we enable applications to:
When serverless isn’t an option, Apexon leverages containers to deploy modern, complex, distributed applications. Containers typically require minimal changes to applications, making them an ideal next stage for applications not appropriate for major refactoring. And containers deliver multiple benefits, including:
Apexon can “lift and shift” a part of an MiM application or the complete application — from on-premise or existing cloud environment to public cloud — with no changes to the application. This provides several advantages:
Apexon can also customize your application development environment with advanced capabilities and specialty practices:
Apexon Application Modernization services deliver significant business advantages:

how we do it
Step 1
Discovery & Solution Ideation – 4 Weeks
Technical discovery and future state planning technical discovery, business requirements, mind map the requirements with digitalization journey, risk assessment, maturity assessment.
Step 2
Iterative Delivery – 10-12 Weeks
This step includes two-week sprints, demos, and checkpoints. It also includes future-state technical design documentation and checkpoints.
During this step, Apexon builds automation pipelines for deploying solutions; deploys pilot services via pipeline to lower environments; tests app functionality, performance, and security before promoting to production; and conducts knowledge transfer of the completed solution. During this phase, Apexon collects necessary data and quantifies the overall application charter. Apexon then employs the best DevOps practices and starts the redevelopment/refactoring/rehosting/rearchitecting. Finally, Apexon performs cost reduction analysis, efficiency analysis, and other industry-standard measurements.
Apexon has experience with the leading tools, and platforms remain to foster an unbiased approach to Application Modernization. We can help you take full advantage of these tools and platforms to maximize your ROI with them.

Through our partnership with Apexon, we have been able to achieve many goals. One is to get our platform built with speed by helping our engineering teams and then we have also achieved our infrastructure goals of ISO certifications. Apexon team is helping us deploy the platform even faster from two or three times per week to five or six times a week.
Their(Apexon) attention to detail and continued focus on CD Valet has kind of proved that we made the right decision and we have expanded from one team to multiple teams. We are surveying about 31,000 CD rates on a weekly basis and Apexon plays a very important part in that process.
Application modernization refers to the process of updating and improving existing software applications to make them more efficient, scalable, and compatible with modern technologies including cloud native development. It is important because it helps organizations enhance performance, reduce technical debt, and align their systems with current business needs and technology trends. By modernizing applications, businesses can improve user experience, integrate with newer systems, and ensure better security and compliance.
Examples of common application modernization solutions include re-hosting (lift-and-shift), re-platforming, refactoring, and rebuilding. Rehosting involves moving applications to a cloud environment with minimal changes, while replatforming upgrades the application to a new platform or infrastructure. Refactoring focuses on improving the codebase to enhance functionality and performance, and rebuilding involves starting from scratch to create a new application that meets current requirements.
Application modernization can present challenges such as high costs, potential downtime during migration, and complexity in integrating with existing systems. Organizations may also face difficulties in aligning new technologies with business processes and ensuring that the modernized application meets all performance and security requirements. Careful planning, the establishment of a robust modernization framework, well-defined transition plans, clear communication, and leveraging experienced modernization experts can effectively address these challenges.
Legacy modernization services offer several benefits, including increased operational efficiency, improved performance, and enhanced security. By modernizing legacy systems, businesses can reduce maintenance costs, integrate with newer technologies, and improve user satisfaction. These services also help mitigate risks associated with outdated systems and ensure that applications remain relevant and competitive in a rapidly evolving technology landscape.
Greenfield implementation refers to creating new applications or systems from scratch, while Brownfield implementation involves updating and modernizing existing systems. Greenfield offers a clean slate with no legacy constraints, whereas Brownfield optimizes current infrastructures while minimizing disruptions.
The key components of a successful application modernization strategy include evaluating the current state of legacy applications, aligning modernization efforts with business goals, leveraging cloud-native architectures, and adopting agile methodologies. It also involves utilizing microservices, DevOps, and automation to enable continuous integration and deployment, ensuring applications are scalable, resilient, and future-proof.
