SOME OF OUR Application Modernisation ENGAGEMENTS
HOW WE CAN HELP YOU WITH APPLICATION MODERNISATION
ON PREMISES
When migrating to the cloud has been ruled out, the re-engineering of on-premises critical business systems enables them to continue functioning and delivering value.
CLOUD
Application modernisation can help you to achieve new business value from your existing applications by using the latest in innovative cloud technology and features.
HYBRID
Application integration with new cloud layers built-in as a hybrid solution offers cloud benefits but leaves the legacy system in place — utilising it for what it is good for.
Ballard Chalmers can help you to re-imagine your enterprise applications making them once again fit for purpose.
With enterprise technology being an ever-evolving landscape, it proves cost-effective to modernise legacy systems to benefit from newer innovations and increase business agility. As important as the modernisation itself, is the team you task with the responsibility of implementing it.
We understand that the cloud is not feasible for every organisation, with IT assets perhaps sitting behind corporate firewalls, or highly regulated and very proprietary. Our strong foundation in on-premises technology means that we can cater for every enterprise need, cloud or otherwise.
Our experts will help you determine the right path to modernisation and implement the latest in Microsoft enterprise technologies, wherever it resides.
We can provide a lift-and-shift migration to the cloud as the first step of a modernisation strategy, or this can be carried out as a project by itself as a simpler cloud migration.
At the outset, we work closely and consultatively with you so that the true business requirements are captured and analysed. Ensuring that business processes are reflected in the software architecture, and designs are streamlined, efficient and flow logically. Being that enterprise applications are highly complex systems, proper design, architecture and user interface are essential to creating business systems that function very well.
We have years of experience in this area, and you can be assured of a safe pair of hands to deliver software that will keep up with your modern organisational needs.
Reimagine your on-premises .NET applications as cloud-native modern Azure apps. Bringing you the best cost-savings, security and features that the cloud has to offer.

Application Modernisation Case Studies
Featured Azure development case study
Ballard Chalmers was brought in as an Azure outsourcing company, for the implementation of a web-based Business Portal for Good Energy. This portal would allow Business Customers to gain access to their accounts and to self-manage those accounts.
The portal exposes a collection of business applications, each of which will apply to a subset of business customers. The main goal of the platform is to show businesses how the energy generated by local generators is supplied to them throughout the day.
Application Modernization
Optimize and Modernize your Legacy Systems for Modern Business.
Companies across all industries are facing an ever more competitive market. With newer, more modern and often cloud-based products and services regularly dominating the market. Your traditional system, though excellent in its time has now become an outdated legacy application. Patches which worked in the short-term have now created slows and incompatibilities. The functionality of your system is being compromised and you need to do something about it.
As technology advances, consumers and employees alike expect smoother interfacing, better performance, faster transactions and larger data requirements. Simultaneously data and privacy standards have increased. In short, out-of-date legacy systems can risk your spot in the marketplace.
Application Modernization is the strategic step organizations are taking to solve legacy system issues. Though all enterprises have different application modernization needs, the outcome will always be a smoother system and better functionality with easier maintenance and scaling.
