Our comprehensive, yet flexible approach to today’s modernization challenges, provides IT organizations with increased assurance in their strategy, improved predictability within the process, and guaranteed results – as evidenced by our many successful engagements delivered around the world.

Organizations seeking to modernize their legacy applications and technologies can take advantage of the Fresche approach from concept to maintenance, or choose to engage for a specific project best suited to their current needs and budget. Our Modernization solutions include as follows:

Re-hosting

For companies seeking to minimize impact to their existing business operations and protect investment in homegrown legacy applications, Fresche Legacy’s re-hosting service migrates existing legacy applications to alternative platforms leaving them largely untouched. Re-hosting provides cost savings and reduces risk by quickly and safely transferring applications to modern platforms and technologies, and provides for continued 100 percent utilization of existing applications, meaning no disruption to the business, and no re-training requirements.

Automated conversion

Using proven, automated tools, coupled with decades of legacy migration expertise, Fresche’s team will convert existing legacy application environments to other platforms, languages and databases while preserving the application’s functionality, business processes and structure.

Automated conversion ensures a quick and cost-effective migration to the new environment and produces an output quality that is highly predictable and accurate. Fresche Legacy’s tools-based approach reduces time to completion and eliminates the possibility of human error, which can put a business’s migration plans at risk.

Web enablement

By web enabling legacy applications, enterprises can better serve their internal and external customers and increase their competitive advantage with no impact to market and customer expectations. Web technologies have significantly progressed over the last decade, making it easier than ever for enterprises to build sophisticated and intuitive interfaces and improve an application’s user experience.

Leveraging the existing application, Fresche Legacy’s team of experts will bring your legacy applications forward to the Web, enhancing the look and feel and improving the overall usability of the system.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

A Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) can boost developer productivity, ensure adherence to coding standards, and ensure a more flexible design while improving business processes in legacy applications. SOA can also play a key role in the architecting of scalable, Cloud-ready, extendable applications.

Fresche Legacy’s team of experts can wrap existing application functionality with a services, and/or develop a communication layer that leverages SOA concepts while preserving the existing legacy system. This approach Increases the application’s flexibility and responsiveness through the use of methodologies and technologies specifically designed to help identify, package and reutilize key application components.

Tool assisted re-architecting/re-write

Companies that need to re-design or re-architect their existing applications, but that want to leverage business rule investments from their legacy code will benefit from Fresche Legacy’s automated re-architecting solution. Our tools-based approach captures all business processes and rules contained in a legacy application and leverages them to re-architect or re-write into a new environment.

This approach allows enterprises to reduce their code and technology footprint, make the move to

a modern infrastructure, and accelerate application development activity by providing developers with access to industry-standard frameworks, as well as modern languages, databases and technologies.

Cloud enablement

A move to the cloud allows enterprises to accelerate infrastructure provisioning, improve disaster recovery tolerance, and reduce infrastructure management overhead. For companies seeking to move their legacy applications to the cloud, Fresche Legacy offers legacy application transformation to a variety of cloud models, including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and even software as a service (SaaS). Transformed applications can run on reliable public or private clouds that can be self-managed or managed by Fresche Legacy.

Mobile enablement

Mobile solutions offer business users and customers increased accessibility and more personalized services, allowing the enterprise to increase client engagement, provide “anywhere, anytime” secure access to applications and data, improve employee productivity, and reduce operating costs.

Fresche legacy’s team of experts can enable existing legacy applications on a range of mobile devices from smart phones, to tablets, helping to transform the way the enterprise conducts business with its end users, customers and partners.
