Assess the state of your current IBM software, identify risks and opportunities and gain a roadmap for modernisation.
Software applications are the backbone of modern businesses, and finding and implementing the best solutions are crucial to success. But it doesn’t end there. Once the initial investment is made, organisations must undertake continuous software maintenance and optimisation.
Our Licence Modernisation Workshop ensures your business gets more value out of your investment by unlocking the true potential of your IBM software. We can help you determine if your software solutions are still fit for purpose and identify the most significant opportunities for improvement.
This service provides an in-depth review of your existing software to establish your baseline licence position so you can determine whether you are getting the best value from your IBM investment.
Our three-step methodology—reimagine, refine, rewire— is designed to fix what needs fixing and provide visibility and a roadmap for ongoing modernisation, all while minimising disruption.
We start the modernisation journey by learning about your business, ambitions and current software applications. We then review your licence entitlements to ensure they are not underused, which can lead to potential non-compliance and increased expenses. Through a series of workshops, exercises and discussions with relevant team members, we determine the status quo and discover high-level opportunities for optimisation.
We take a holistic approach, identifying critical issues and opportunities to address first. Our customised consultations identify unused licences and functionalities, highlighting areas where investments will result in the most significant returns.
You will completely understand your current state architecture, platforms, systems and applications and how software licenses are currently being used. This information allows you to make informed decisions and be safe, knowing that your software utilisation is fully compliant and provides value for money.
Inefficient software integration, misalignment between technology and teams, and a clear modernisation roadmap hinder software optimisation. When applications have been in use for a while, it is typical for entitlements and the actual usage to no longer align. When systems are ignored, software modernisation becomes a more extensive undertaking—which can seem daunting and unachievable.
The good news is that software modernisation can be done without disrupting your business, allowing you to reap the benefits without huge one-off investments.
Forget simply surviving with outdated software. Our in-depth reports empower you to envision the future of your business applications. We’ll co-create a roadmap that safeguards your entire application ecosystem, from core software to dependent components, ensuring they evolve together and fuel your long-term growth.
Throughout the process, we will bring in members from our partner ecosystem with data AI, automation, security and asset management capabilities to ensure you have the most experienced people working for you.
At Certus, we have extensive experience delivering modernisation programmes, as well as a wide range of other technology services and solutions. However, we can’t be experts in everything.
That is why we operate as part of a Partner Ecosystem. We team up with other industry leaders to deliver more expertise, experience and solutions to our customers.
