The complete Micro Focus model for application modernization
The Micro Focus Modernization Maturity Model streamlines your planning and execution of core system and application modernisation.
The model is designed to provide rapid, low-risk IT evolution through the prioritisation of industry best practices.
It has been refined across over 1,000 successful customer engagements and is the best way to implement business-critical change.
Here’s how it works.
The Micro Focus Modernization Maturity Model
Firstly, you need to understand your organization’s requirements for change – both operationally and from a business perspective.
With this knowledge, you can begin a review of the technical drivers for this change – including application complexity, technical and supplier strategy, and platform and architectural needs.
After completing these two steps, these insights will drive discussions regarding your application modernization strategy.
The discussions will determine which applications and business processes need to be modernized, as well as the situations that require you to replace or retire certain hardware, software, or systems.
A great way to determine this is by viewing each of your proposed modernization initiatives through an individual lens.
This makes it easy to see where you are in the modernization journey in each of your core business areas, and allows you to determine your next steps.
| Micro Focus Modernisation Maturity Model | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lens/Phase | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
| Infrastructure | Mainframe | Distributed | Cloud-ready | Cloud-optimised | Cloud-native |
| Application | Monolithic Proprietary ACID transactions | N-tier Portable Virtualized | Loosely coupled Relational ‘Macro’ Container | Components API Services Containers | Microservices NoSQL BASE transactions |
| Dev Process | Waterfall | Iterative | Agile | DevOps | DevSecOps |
| Management | Linear | Managed | Defined | Measured | Optimized |
| Culture | Departmental | Directed | Collaborative | Trusted | Performance |
This guideline shows whether you have smaller, isolated departments that can continue using current processes and technologies, whereas larger-scale applications with cross-team dependencies may require a more comprehensive modernisation approach.
