While the industry clearly understands how imperative it is to remain agile and modernized in the digital world, not all realize the importance of app modernization as a critical first step in that process. Brandon Edenfield, Managing Director of App Modernization for Modern Systems, an Advanced Company joins me on the podcast to further explore the topic.
Modern Systems was acquired last July by Advanced -- the UK's third-largest provider of software and services -- and the two have melded to create a global modernization powerhouse. It has 35+ years under their belt transforming legacy environments, whether on the mainframe or locked in outdated UNIX environments.
It has also completed 500 application modernization projects and 2.5 billion+ lines of code. The company's approach for the mainframe to cloud transition is an incremental one, and they leverage their unique Modernization Platform as a Service (ModPaaSTM ), a collaborative cloud-based platform.
Clients of both Advanced and Modern Systems include The New York Times, GE Capital, Hargreaves Landsdown, Deutsche Bank, the US Department of Energy, the State of Utah, and CIBC. We discuss all this and much more in today's episode.
