Determine maintenance needs & an application modernization strategy using automated assessment tools
Home > Intellisys Platform > Application Assessment
Don't let your system knowledge walk out of the door. Document and analyze your applications to create a current understanding of them and use that information to develop an app modernization strategy.
Applications evolve with changes in legislative and business policies. These updates rarely get documented except in the memory of support personnel. Hence, when these employees leave or retire, the “brain drain” is significant and becomes irreplaceable when substitute personnel have little to no knowledge of the technologies in which these applications have been developed. This increases the cost and risk of keeping software updated, managing technical debt, and moving forward with modernization initiatives when needed.

Generate current application documentation using 100% automation
Train incoming support personnel

Identifying and Addressing Potential Security Risks in Legacy Applications
Having a complete understanding of your application portfolio is vital to combat security-related risks. However, many organizations are working with a limited view, due in part to undocumented and heavily modified legacy applications. These modifications have created blind spots, which are prime targets for security breaches in today’s rapidly changing cybersecurity landscape.
