Introduction

Transforming legacy applications into agile, secure, and cloud-ready systems

Modernising the enterprise application landscape for agility and resilience.

Banks and financial institutions are under immense pressure to innovate at speed — yet their technology landscape is often constrained by outdated, siloed, and inflexible legacy applications. These systems are costly to maintain, difficult to integrate, and unable to support the pace of digital transformation.

The Modernisation Imperative

Over the years, BFSI enterprises have accumulated a complex mesh of custom-built and third-party applications — often interconnected through manual workflows and outdated middleware. These systems, though mission-critical, now limit scalability and innovation.

Modernisation is not merely about migrating to the cloud — it's about redefining how applications deliver business value. Successful modernization demands a strategic blend of assessment, prioritization, architectural redesign, and automation-led execution.

Challenges Faced by CIOs & CTOs

  • Technology Obsolescence: Legacy frameworks and unsupported platforms increase security and compliance risks.
  • Integration Complexity: Point-to-point integrations create fragility and delay innovation.
  • High Maintenance Costs: Outdated systems consume significant operational and vendor management overhead.
  • Limited Agility: Rigid release cycles and manual testing hinder responsiveness.
  • Regulatory Exposure: Inconsistent control mechanisms across applications reduce audit readiness.

Eklogi's Application Modernisation Framework

Our framework addresses modernization holistically — combining strategic portfolio assessment, architecture rationalization, and agile transformation execution. We help clients move from fragmented legacy systems to modular, cloud-enabled ecosystems aligned with digital business objectives.

1. Portfolio Assessment & Rationalization

Building a data-driven foundation for modernization decisions.

We start by conducting a comprehensive application portfolio assessment that categorizes and prioritizes systems based on business criticality, technical debt, and modernization potential.

Application Inventory & Classification: Mapping the enterprise application landscape with business owners, dependencies, and technical complexity.
Value vs. Complexity Matrix: Scoring applications across business value, technical risk, and cost of ownership.
Modernization Pathway Definition: Assigning each system to a "6R" strategy — Retain, Retire, Rehost, Replatform, Refactor, or Rebuild.
Business Case Modelling: Quantifying potential savings and performance improvements from modernization initiatives.
A clear modernization roadmap that aligns technology investments with strategic priorities and measurable ROI.

2. Architecture Redesign & Cloud Enablement

Laying the foundation for a scalable, secure, and future-ready architecture.

Once modernization priorities are established, Eklogi helps organizations reimagine their application architecture around cloud-native, API-first, and event-driven paradigms.

Target State Architecture Design: Define modular architectures based on domain boundaries (e.g., customer, payments, risk).
API and Microservices Enablement: Decompose legacy monoliths into microservices and implement secure API gateways.
Cloud Migration Strategy: Develop hybrid or multi-cloud models based on workload suitability and compliance constraints.
Security and Compliance Integration: Embed DevSecOps controls to meet regulatory and data privacy requirements.
Performance and Observability: Implement telemetry and monitoring for real-time performance and anomaly detection.
A modern, cloud-enabled architecture that enables rapid innovation, seamless integration, and operational resilience.

3. DevSecOps and Continuous Delivery Enablement

Embedding automation and agility into the delivery pipeline.

Eklogi operationalizes modernization by transforming delivery practices through DevSecOps — ensuring faster, secure, and repeatable deployments.

CI/CD Pipeline Setup: Automate code integration, testing, and deployment using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or Azure DevOps.
Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Enable repeatable, compliant environment provisioning.
Security Automation: Integrate vulnerability scanning, SAST/DAST, and compliance checks in the CI/CD flow.
Test Automation: Deploy AI-driven test generation for regression and functional validation.
Agile Release Management: Shift to iterative delivery models for continuous business alignment.
Release cycles reduced from months to days — with higher quality, compliance assurance, and delivery predictability.

4. AI-Augmented Modernization

Leveraging intelligence to accelerate modernization and reduce risk.

We incorporate AI and LLM-driven accelerators throughout the modernization journey.

Code Analysis & Refactoring: AI-assisted identification of code smells and modernization opportunities.
Automated Documentation: LLM-based code and process documentation generation.
Testing & Validation: Generative AI-driven test case creation mapped to business logic and workflows.
Predictive Maintenance: Anomaly detection and trend prediction to optimize modernization sequencing.
Reduced modernization effort and improved accuracy through automation and intelligent insights.

5. Transition, Stabilization, and Governance

Ensuring controlled rollout and sustained success.

We provide end-to-end transition management with a focus on operational stability and value realization.

Transition Planning: Phased cutover aligned with business operations.
Post-Go-Live Support: Hypercare and performance monitoring during stabilization.
Governance Framework: Periodic reviews, change controls, and cost tracking.
Continuous Optimization: Refinement of cloud resource usage and performance tuning.
A stable, high-performing modernized ecosystem with embedded governance for long-term sustainability.
