Reduce traditional IT spending by modernizing your applications portfolio and infrastructure to exploit core business IP contained in legacy applications and data.
Digital transformation has had a profound effect on businesses and their underlying processes. The strategic importance of application modernization initiatives is rising because they are critical to unlock digital business value.
Embracing digital transformation can be difficult. Legacy applications and infrastructure are typically rigid siloed. Moreover, organizations often lack resources skilled in newer technology areas such as cloud, mobility, and analytics, and the IT budget to deliver change.
Increasingly, business applications directly drive and influence growth opportunities in organizations. Moving legacy applications into the cloud fuels application performance.
Take your business to the next level
DXC Mainframe and Legacy Modernization Services provide an end-to-end framework for planning and executing successful transformations. We transform applications optimally to accelerate business outcomes. Regardless of environment or industry, customers need applications which address business challenges and drive business growth.
We guide customers through three transformation phases:
- Advise – Application strategy, portfolio assessments, diagnostics, workshops and pilots to build a comprehensive plan and financial justification for a transformation journey
- Transform – Ready-to-use-platforms, cloud maps, and industrialized factory processes accelerate transformation to standardized operations in your target environment
- Manage – We provide support, monitoring, control, training coordination, and deployment services to optimize customer application portfolios
DXC understands that while the decision to start modernizing legacy systems may be challenging, it can take your business to the next level. Reasons for modernizing include high costs of maintaining and supporting mainframe operations, shrinking pool of skills, high cost of integration with new applications, lack of flexibility in adopting new technologies and technical debt.
Achieve tangible results
DXC Mainframe and Legacy Modernization Services help customers to migrate their mainframe and legacy applications rapidly to distributed and cloud environments.
We provide industrialized delivery with optimal footprint, blending global and regional capabilities to support local customer teams with deep expertise.
We deliver end-to-end solutions including application transformation, security, printing, management and other services.
Examples of results include:
- Cost avoidance: DXC enabled a large consumer goods company to decommission mainframe and implement data archiving to satisfy compliance requirements. The customer avoided future maintenance costs of $8 million, annually.
- Rationalization: DXC enabled a banking customer to rehost mainframe applications in a non-mainframe environment, thereby reducing the CAPEX significantly.
- Digital enablement: DXC enabled a large insurance company to re-architect and revalue applications, remove road blocks and simplify the architecture to enable digital business and ease of maintenance and agile enhancements. This optimized maintenance and operations labor by 52 percent.
