App & Platform Modernisation Assessment

Modernise how your teams build and release software

Your team is using containers and cloud-native tools, but deployments are still slow, manual, or risky. Our App & Platform Modernisation Assessment looks at your applications, pipelines and platform together, and tells you what to improve and when to do it, so you can release more often with fewer failed deployments.

Why assess?

See what’s slowing your releases before you invest in a new platform

You’ll get to know which applications to containerise first and which to leave alone, where automation will save your engineers the most time, and whether Kubernetes makes sense for you yet. Your developers get expert opinions on architecture and delivery practices, and your leadership team gets a plan they can budget for.

Platform choices are expensive to roll back, and they determine how often your teams can release. An outside view helps you invest in the right things, in the right order.

Are your applications ready for containers or Kubernetes, and should they be?

Where does your CI/CD pipeline slow you down?

Why do deployments keep breaking things?

Are your dev teams working in ways that are hard to support?

Is your infrastructure holding your platform plans back?

Our assessment takes the guesswork out, bringing you data, analysis, and expertise to guide the way.

The process

What does the assessment cover?

We review your applications, delivery pipeline and platform architecture as one system, then recommend what to change and when.

01

Discovery

We have structured conversations with your engineering and development teams about how they build and ship software today, and what frustrates them most.


We also collect all your available documentation regarding application and platform architecture and processes.

02

Application architecture review

We assess your core applications, using the findings from discovery, to understand how they're built, how they're deployed, and how they connect.

03

Container and Kubernetes readiness

We evaluate whether, when and how to containerise, or how to improve the container setup you already have.

04

CI/CD maturity assessment

We follow how code gets from commit to production, including automation, testing, environments and release reliability.

05

Platform and technology recommendations

When assessing an organisation with multiple applications, we will make recommendations on a platform architecture and technology stack that fits your team. Larger assessments will compare the alternatives where there’s a real choice to make.

06

Modernisation roadmap

You get a modernisation roadmap, from a short memo for a single application to a phased plan for a larger assessment. Enterprise-scale reviews also scope proof of concept.

Depending on scope, you'll get an application architecture review, a container and Kubernetes readiness evaluation, a CI/CD maturity assessment, platform architecture and technology stack recommendations, a modernization roadmap and a written assessment report.

Larger engagements add dependency mapping across your applications, a plan to standardise CI/CD across teams, and an executive presentation. Enterprise engagements add a platform blueprint, a governance framework and a board-ready presentation.

Use cases

When does an App & Platform modernisation assessment make the most impact?

Slow or manual deployments

If someone still SSHs into a server to push code or if deployments keep failing, there's plenty of room to speed things up safely.

Containers without a strategy

Docker or Kubernetes in place, but held together with workarounds? We'll help you put a proper platform underneath them.

Several teams, several ways of working

When every team deploys differently, it's hard to support and harder to scale. We'll recommend a shared approach that suits all of them.

Deciding on Kubernetes or platform engineering

Not sure you're ready? The assessment tells you if and when to adopt it, and what to do in the meantime. Sometimes the answer is "not yet, and here's how to prepare".

Why Aptum?

From roadmap to running platform

We pair decades of infrastructure experience with in-house DevOps and cloud-native engineers. The team that reviews your platform can also build your CI/CD pipelines, implement Kubernetes and manage what’s built, whether it runs on Aptum infrastructure or in AWS, Azure or Google Cloud.

Start with a conversation

Let's plan your platform's next step

Tell us how your teams build and ship today, and we'll be in touch to scope the assessment with you.
