OVERVIEW

Application Portfolio Modernization

Most organizations run on a complex mix of legacy, custom-built, and third-party applications—many critical, but few built for today’s speed or tomorrow’s intelligence. At 18North, we help enterprises systematically modernize their application landscape, focusing on performance, interoperability, adaptability, and long-term sustainability.

Our approach is grounded in architectural realism and strategic foresight. We don’t just upgrade technologies—we chart optimal modernization paths, aligned to business value, system dependencies, and growth goals. Whether you’re transitioning from on-prem to cloud, breaking down a monolith, or preparing your ecosystem for AI-readiness, we ensure each step of modernization is safe, contextual, and future-proof.

With a blend of engineering pragmatism, domain understanding, and smart AI infusion, we convert technical debt into scalable assets—without breaking what’s already working.

SOLUTIONS

Modernizing Your Application Portfolio Strategically

Portfolio Assessment & Rationalization

 Evaluate the entire application landscape for technical debt, business alignment, redundancy, and modernization potential.

Version Upgrade Pathfinding

Design optimized upgrade routes for platforms, languages, and runtimes—minimizing disruptions while restoring long-term

Modularization and Decomposition

Incrementally refactor legacy monoliths into maintainable software modules or services based on usage patterns and risk profiles

Cloud Replatforming or Migration

Move applications to the cloud with right-sized architecture choices—lift-and-shift, rehost, or rebuild, as the context demands

Data Layer Modernization

Upgrade underlying databases, schemas, and storage layers for performance, scale, and interoperability with modern platforms

 UX and Accessibility Refresh

Redesign frontends and user interactions to meet modern UI/UX expectations, enhanced seamless accessibility standards, and responsive mobile readiness

Integration Enablement

Expose legacy application functionality through secure, scalable, and robust APIs, event layers, or middleware services to seamlessly plug into newer digital enterprise systems

AI-Readiness Enhancements

 Infuse AI/ML hooks where relevant—like document extraction, prediction, summarization, or process assistance—layered atop modernized systems
