STEP 2: Set concrete goals, tasks, dates and numbers you can track
Featuring 997 new and updated case-based questions, organized into seven core areas of process design, this Self-Assessment will help you identify areas in which Legacy Modernization improvements can be made.
Examples; 10 of the 997 standard requirements:
- What is our approach to DevOps and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) in our modernized data warehousing environment, and how will we ensure agility and speed in our development and deployment processes?
- What are the compliance and regulatory requirements that we need to consider when identifying business processes for automation, and how do we ensure that our automated processes meet those requirements?
- What is the best approach to managing the complex web of integrations between our legacy system and multiple third-party systems, and how can we avoid disrupting these connections during modernization?
- What is the strategy for ensuring that all modernized systems are capable of meeting the requirements of Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS) and other industry-specific regulations?
- How do we identify the most critical business processes and functions that rely on outdated databases and data structures, and how do we ensure those processes are not disrupted during modernization?
- What are the opportunities to leverage emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, or the Internet of Things through process re-engineering, and how will these be prioritized?
- What is our approach to data visualization and reporting in our modernized data warehousing environment, and how will we ensure that insights are actionable and accessible to business stakeholders?
- How does containerization provide a higher level of abstraction and separation of concerns for legacy applications, and what are the benefits of this in terms of maintainability and extensibility?
- How will we ensure that our modernized data warehousing is compliant with industry standards and regulatory requirements, and what strategies will we use to manage risk and ensure data privacy?
- In what ways can containerization help to decouple legacy applications from underlying infrastructure and platforms, making it easier to move them to the cloud or other modern environments?
