This success story of product modernization was made possible by SoftServe Adaptive Modernization Platform (SAMP). The situation might sound familiar — outdated systems, vendor lock-ins, and the pressing need for greater flexibility and scalability.
While we can’t name our client or the exact product they modernized, we had to share this success story — and how it’s done — so you can achieve similar results.
Our client is a major player — a global leader in networking equipment and IT infrastructure solutions. From networking and cybersecurity to AI solutions, this company pushes the envelope of innovation while supporting a multi-cloud strategy that integrates seamlessly with platforms like Azure, AWS, GCP, and Oracle, alongside hybrid solutions.
Now, onto the challenge: Our client needed to expand their market reach, and to achieve that, they had to make one of their critical digital security applications cloud-agnostic by extending it to Microsoft Azure within a strict three-month timeframe.
They needed their product to be cloud-agnostic and future-ready — all under a tight deadline.
This is where SAMP came into play. We transformed their application, eliminated vendor lock-ins, and enabled seamless multi-cloud capabilities — all within the demanding timeframe.
Imagine your product, your company — because this could be your success story too. Here’s a step-by-step look at how it’s done.
Application modernization – a step-by-step roadmap to success
Like many legacy applications, the product they needed to upgrade was originally built without modern architectural standards, relying heavily on AWS-specific services and lacking automated deployment processes. This made it difficult to adapt, scale, or move to other cloud environments — locking them into a single provider and slowing down their ability to innovate.
To break free from these constraints, we helped our client design an Azure Application Landing Zone. This automated the deployment of a multi-cloud infrastructure, allowing them to host their digital security solution wherever it made the most sense — not just in AWS.
The strategy was to modernize and replicate their applications to Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which would in turn increase efficiency, scalability, and reliability. Compliance was non-negotiable; we made sure they met stringent SOC 2 standards, safeguarding the integrity and security of their data.
Additionally, we streamlined their development processes with continuous integration and deployment automation tools. This made it easier for them to roll out updates quickly and consistently, helping them stay ahead of industry demands and deliver new features faster.
