INNOVATION - a4 DEVELOPMENT
Market context
It is increasingly difficult to meet the expectations of end customers, who demand faster changes to meet their needs, driving the development of new digital products and the need to modernize current applications.
While it is true the practice of Scrum and some other agile methodologies allow to do so, still need to be more agile in the way we deploy these new solutions and how the architecture and infrastructure adapts to this agility, with quality and security in deployments.
Migration to the cloud is happening with more than 500 million applications worldwide scheduled for modernization.
“Lift & Shift” remains the dominant approach, but the success rate is below 40% with this model.
The biggest mistake to avoid when migrating to the cloud: “Do not analyze your applications before migration”.
We accompany you on the complete transformation journey to the cloud
We have developed methodologies, best practices, accelerators and tools to ensure a better path to digital business transformation, from Digital Product Design and Application Modernization to Operation and Monitoring of complex Cloud Native architectures, through services focused on development, quality and security (DevSecOps).
The 4 stages of a4 Development
Our a4 Development solution consists of 4 stages:
- Plan
- Transform
- Operate
- Govern
Plan
Where to start? What tool do I use for a given scenario? How do I integrate all these tools in a single cycle that allows me to ensure agility without losing quality and safety? What roles within my organization should I involve to adopt this whole new wave of tools and methodologies?
To answer these questions in our A4 Development planning stage we offer the following services:
- Axity Digital Fast Check.
- Digital Maturity Assessments.
- Application Modernization Strategy.
- Discovery for Digital Products (Lean techniques).
- Apification and decoupling strategies (From business, architectural design, implementation and operation).
- Reference Digital Architecture.
Transform
The challenge of executing activities that are on the path of digital transformation is not knowing which tool to use, which processes to define, nor that KPI’s measure, for this, in A4 Development, we have services:
DevSecOps: Demand control, secure development, automated testing, operation, observability and toolkit tools combined with AI.
Scalable architectures (Axity Backstage): we have archetypes that meet the highest quality and security standards that enable complex architectures in minutes.
Tester Center of Excellence: Improve application stability and certify functional and non-functional aspects before any release, increasing confidence in the applications.
Operate
The challenge of operating and maintaining distributed cloud systems makes it more necessary than ever to have the right tools, processes and people.
Our A4 Development services seek to deliver the peace of mind of a stable operation and a correct way to solve problems and mainly anticipate them:
AMS and observability service: we have SRE (Site Releabilyty) experts who will be with you throughout the development and operation cycle, making sure to manage the systems, solve problems and automate operational tasks.
AMSX, service in charge of vulnerability fix and technical debt remediation so that teams can focus on new functionality.
Governance
For all of the above to work, it is essential to have a stable governance layer that adapts to new business requirements. In this area, our A4 Development services focus on:
- Demand management
- Adoption management and culture
- Adherence Review
- Coexistence management
- Security models
- Compliance / Regulation
Application modernization
In a4 Development, it is critical to look at the problem holistically, infrastructure plus applications.
At Axity we have developed a methodology that allows us to carry out a finished analysis in these two dimensions, making a rapid Discovery of the applications and the infrastructure where they live, proposing a roadmap of modernization, identifying the best candidates for early modernisation and mainly declaring the activities necessary for the rest of the applications to be modernised on the basis of concrete and real data of their architectures.
How we modernize applications
To accelerate our research and analysis services, we have world-class Generative AI-based tools that achieve automated analysis of source code and data structures, allowing us to analyze hundreds of applications, securely and reliably migrate all data from modernized applications in just weeks.
Thanks to the objective knowledge and preparation of this software, more qualitative surveys to the business areas, allow to make decisions safely, reliably and quickly.
