Multiple business and technology factors drive the decision to migrate from one platform to another. Maintenance overheads of existing traditional systems and the evolution of next generation technologies, presents a strong need for organizations to align their business policies with modern-day technologies.
Migration of new technologies and changing business environment brings new challenges on legacy enterprise systems. VTS help our clients, migrate legacy systems to new technology like Cloud, .NET Applications etc. with an objective to boost operational performance and reduce cost.
Below are the factors that need to be analyzed, before we get into an actual migration process:

Business objectives of migration include,
Customers that have already invested in maintaining the current systems for many years they would not want to rewrite the entire system to meet business objectives. After migration, Business functionalities should be unchanged and can be re-used in target environment thereby achieving the main objective.
Every technologies has its own proprietary components that need to be removed while migrating to a new environment. However, most of the systems uses generic specifications to develop these applications, such as web services, standard frameworks etc. we should try to use existing stand-in processing and catch-up these open standards and frameworks in the target system.
Migrating legacy applications to new platform involves risks that need to be identified and mitigated. Risk includes, unavailability of documentation, out-of-support software and hardware, inconsistent design. These must be articulated and documented during the migration assessment phase.
