Binary Tree Application Transformation Framework
Phase 1 - Analysis
Before a customer can decide what path to take in the transformation of their application environment a thorough understanding of the customers existing application and messaging environment is critical. A detailed analysis of existing application structure, code, security and design gives the customer a clear insight into the scope of an application transformation assisting them in the business process analysis and functional requirements gathering. This information forms the foundation for Phase 2 of the Application Transformation Framework.
Analyze
Phase 2 – Informed Decision Making
Using analysis reports and business process analysis gathered in Phase 1 customers can now decided which options best suit the business needs of the organization.
The disposition of applications can be categorized into six options or the six “R’s”.
Relocate, Recode, Redesign, Reinvent, Retire, Retain
Decide
Phase 3 – Transformation (Execution)
By providing a clear roadmap for each application using the analysis tools and methodology customers can now begin the transformation process using CMT for SharePoint's built in tools to provide custom field mapping, exported code, design and security data and the highest levels of data fidelity in the industry. Combining Binary Tree services and trusted partners can help you expedite the transformation process insuring that the decisions in Phase 2 are quickly and effectively executed on.
Transform
Phase 4 – Consolidation/Retirement
Once customers begin the transformation process it makes sense to begin considering the consolidation and retirement of applications and servers as the transformation process renders these applications and servers unnecessary. Some customers may choose not to transform or retire applications. In these circumstances customers can still gain significant cost savings and reduction of administrative overhead by consolidating their environment down to just a few servers and setting up coexistence with Zapp where appropriate to insure that application workflow is maintained during the life of these applications.
Consolidate
