One of the strategies employed to keep tech current is replatforming. Cloudficient discusses what is platforming and how it can keep you competitive here!

In this article by Shelley Bougnague (What Is Replatforming?, available here), she defines replatforming as migrating an existing application or system to a new platform without significantly altering its core functionality. This process aims to leverage the benefits of newer technologies, such as improved performance, scalability, and security, while preserving the essential features and data of the original system.

Why is replatforming important? As businesses grow and technology advances, legacy systems can become a liability rather than an asset. Outdated platforms often struggle to keep up with the demands of modern applications. Replatforming addresses these issues by modernizing the underlying infrastructure, making it more robust and capable of supporting future growth and innovation.

Not to mention that legacy solutions can reach a point where they are being sunset, as is the case with EMC SourceOne, which is set to reach its end of support in December 2024.

Replatforming offers numerous benefits that can significantly enhance an organization’s operational efficiency and competitive edge. Here’s one of them:

Improved Performance

Newer platforms often come with enhanced performance capabilities, enabling faster processing, reduced latency, and better overall user experiences. By replatforming, businesses can take advantage of these improvements to deliver more responsive and reliable applications.
