With AMELIO Modernization Platform, Delta Software Technology provides a perfect solution for the secure and error-free modernisation of large-scale application systems. A tailor-made rule base ensures the 100% automation of all changes. It thus eliminates the risks of manual changes in the complex application systems. The solution is ideal for all modernisation projects requiringe mass changes, that means for platform changes, application and architecture transformations, database migrations and the like.

Studies of the analysts from Vanson Bourne, Forrester, Coleman Parkes and others have shown that the modernisation of existing applications has top priority in the enterprises.
"Fundamentally new customer needs must be satisfied, but out-of-date applications tie up too many financial and human resources to enable the implementation of these new services." 60% of the IT managers interviewed by Coleman Parkes describe their old applications as hindrance to meet the current requirements.

But these productive applications implement core functions of the enterprises and that are after years of investment so advanced that they run impeccably. That is why its new development is not an option. To ensure that these applications continue to run reliably, their modernisation must meet the maximum security requirements.

The Most Important Reasons for Modernisation Projects

The most important reasons for modernisation projects can be summarized in two keywords: New requirements and cost reductions.

Every enterprise associates other goals and priorities with the modernisation. Therefore, every modernisation project must meet different requirements:

• New functional requirements due to new business areas, mergers & acquisitions, outsourcing
• Reducing costs by platform changes, distribution, virtualisation, cloud computing
• Web Enablement, Mobile Applications, Distributed Services
• Consolidation of databases, application integration
• Replacing obsolete hardware, software, development methods, frameworks, languages
• Security, legal requirements, corporate governance
• etc.

These requirements lead to the actual (technical) tasks for the modernisation: We know from our experience that always several requirements must be met at the same time: That is why overcoming the associated modernisation obstacles requires a tailor-made solution.
