The WebSphere & Integration Customer Advisory Board

Modernization Guidance

We see lots of customers who execute a successful modernization proof-of-concept and then really slow down and lose momentum. They just are not sure where to go next, and what applications to tackle. The guidance we now provide is designed to address this, but providing a sequence in which to modernize your applications. Start with the Simple applications - they are ready to go right now without any code changes! Then move onto the applications that share common code. We show you how to modernize an application then how to reuse the jars you have just modernized so other apps become fully modernized without needing to write another line of code. We order everything using a combination of how easy it is to modernize and how many other applications will benefit. Check out this video to see it in action!

Modernization Playbook

Think of this as the art-of-the-practical. At every stage in the modernization journey, we show all the options that are available. We use docs and videos to show how other people have tackled the modernization challenges they faced, and we show you the full end-end journey, from collection, to analysis, to making code changes, to validating your return-on-investment, all the way to deployment, configuration and integrations. Plus it's open source so you can contribute your own experiences too. Check out the playbook here.

What is Transformation Advisor?

Transformation Advisor (TA) is an awesome tool that guides enterprise teams through the uncertainties of migrating existing, on-premise applications to the cloud by providing recommendations on modernization changes and insight into expected complexity and development effort, it even goes as far as creating the artefacts you will need to containerize and deploy an application on cloud. If you are not already familiar with TA you can learn more by watching the episode Accelerate Application Modernization with IBM Cloud Transformation Advisor on our IBM Expert TV channel
