What is App Modernization?
App Modernization is an efficient, transformative IT strategy that organizations adopt to augment their businesses with new technology capabilities like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, allowing them to embrace cloud infrastructures and adapt to evolving needs. According to Gartner, App Modernization services address the migration of legacy to new applications or platforms to provide the latest functions to their business. Modernization options include re-platforming, re-hosting, re-architecting, re-engineering, interoperability, replacement, and retirement, as well as changes to the application architecture to finalize which option should be selected.
Most companies look to modernize their applications to improve business agility, integrate with new applications, and bring down their total cost of ownership (TCO), security reasons, and many other reasons. Modernize applications according to the changing IT landscape by leveraging Catalyst by Zoho, which provides an edge over app performance, scalability, reliability, and security. Catalyst AppSail enables you to use advanced cloud-native technologies to smoothly shift your trusted systems and business-critical applications.
Why should you modernize legacy applications
Understanding what applications and infrastructure to migrate could be complex; the answer varies depending on your organizational structure, current IT landscape, and business goals.
The Forrester Wave: Application Modernization and Migration Services, Q3 2021 noticed that cloud-native technologies and a lower emphasis on infrastructure lift-and-shift migration enable a continuing shift towards modernization. Whether you'd like to follow a lift-and-shift of applications and workloads to the cloud or modernize your infrastructure with API enablement so legacy infrastructures are scalable and portable across their cloud environment, Catalyst by Zoho provides the right services and platform to align your modernization goals.

Solutions with Catalyst AppSail
Catalyst AppSail is a highly-scalable platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that facilitates building and hosting powerful applications using popular frameworks in Java, Python, and Node.js. Catalyst AppSail supports modern frameworks like the following:
Legacy system modernization for the manufacturing industry
A manufacturing company has been using an on-premise machine for years to host and run a Java application that stores and maintains information related to various types of equipment. Now, the company wants to open branches across the globe. Application scaling is arduous due to server provisioning limitations. Adopting a cloud platform, like Catalyst, to host the application provides a seamless end-user experience since the applications scale quickly and offer high availability.
Build modern web apps with minimal staff support
Let's say you build custom e-learning solutions for your startup. With minimal staff, crossing the development hurdle is a big challenge with issues like finding a cloud platform to build web apps and mobile apps, hosting the e-learning solution, managing live traffic, platform scalability, and more.
