New technology can no longer be used, software maintenance is becoming increasingly complex, developers are no longer available and customers are asking for innovation. It hampers your growth and if you don't act on time, it poses major risks for your company.
Check out software modernization options
Make sure you give yourself choices when modernizing the outdated software.
To make an informed choice, it's important to review all your options first. You need to know which variables are important for your organization and target group. This includes:
- The impact of a migration on your customers
- Retraining your development team
- The available budget
By drawing up a business case, you will make the right choice. Based on this, you can then develop a technical plan.
Step by step towards software modernization
You don't have to build Rome in one day. You can renew software in phases, even within time and budget. Research where the priorities lie and be the first to focus on low-complexity/high business value. Choices have consequences, but not making a choice is delaying (and probably increasing) your problems.
Stronger together
To work out the various options, you need insight into the current state of your service. In addition, you need to know what the ultimate goal is and how to get there. Most software suppliers do not have this knowledge, simply because they are specialists in their own product. Not from the latest technological developments.
A partner can help you with this. The advantage of a partner is that they have many in-house specialists who renovate software on a daily basis. Talking to an expert can also provide you with interesting insights and you'll also notice immediately if there's a click. After all, you will have to work intensively with the party that is going to help you. At Blis Digital, we always work in clear, safe steps, so you always understand what is happening.
Make or buy?
You are going to make an investment and that includes a business plan. So before you work out a roadmap, it's wise to explore various options. This is because you can work in various ways to innovate your technique, with varying degrees of impact and investment. At Blis Digital, we often use the “7R model” for this issue.
What next?
With these insights, you can make a choice based on costs, benefits and the resources you have at your disposal. This way, you will find the solution that best suits your situation. This preliminary phase is essential for drawing up the (technical) roadmap. In this way, you make an informed decision, you will not be surprised and you will take an important step forward within budget to continue your business.
