Empowering growth through modernisation

Every business relies on technology to achieve its strategic goals. Applications, tools, and processes are crucial enablers for growth and operational success. But when systems start to lag due to outdated technology, limited scalability, or high maintenance costs, these tools can become obstacles rather than assets.

Typical drivers for modernisation include legacy technologies that are difficult to maintain, the need for faster feature releases, integration with new systems, or digitising manual processes. Modernisation helps align your tech environment with your business objectives, enhancing performance, scalability, and adaptability—and that’s where BBD comes in.

A smart approach to modernisation

At BBD, we support customers in modernising tech stacks, processes, workflows, and infrastructure to achieve meaningful outcomes. By partnering with our clients through each step, we deliver an honest, realistic view of the feasibility, costs, and effort involved in modernisation to ensure your investment drives real value through an innovative service offering called Diagnostic Health Checks. This process is guided by BBD’s FOCUS framework and supporting methodologies coupled with relevant specific cloud modernisation frameworks such as the AWS Modernisation Acceleration (ModAx) for solutions that use AWS. Preceding necessary migrations with Health Checks ensures that we deliver a best of breed modernisation journey.

Modernisation assessment

Our Application Modernisation Assessment helps customers create a tailored migration roadmap to modernise their applications using AWS cloud-native services. Designed to evaluate the feasibility and benefits of modernising your technology stack, this comprehensive assessment identifies modernisation opportunities such as transitioning to microservices, containerisation, serverless architectures, and leveraging managed services.

By assessing your current infrastructure, workloads, and application dependencies, whether on-premises or cloud-hosted, we help you transform outdated or monolithic applications into scalable, resilient, and cost-effective solutions tailored to meet your growing business needs.

Key components

We leverage a variety of assessments, depending on your requirements and context, including:

Technology stack: Review of current technologies
Infrastructure & architecture: Assessment of cloud-readiness and scalability
Business requirements: Understanding your business goals to align technology
Code & process analysis: Evaluation of the health of existing codebases and processes
Security & compliance: Ensuring robust adherence to industry standards
