Application Modernization Brings High-Performance to Legacy Applications
Senior technology executives must constantly perform a balancing act: meet evolving business demands while extracting maximum value from existing IT systems. With 70% of an organization’s global transactions running on legacy applications, doing more with less is no easy feat.

CDS’s Application Migration & Modernization offering allows IT to expunge unnecessary operating costs, while reducing capital expenditures and liberating IT staff resources. CDS has a well-defined methodology for Application Modernization called Discover-Modernize-Maintain (DMM), and is based on our approach.
