Communicating with clients and building their trust are paramount with software

modernization. Understanding a company’s pain points is also paramount. The critical question is: What does the company want, and how can partners like CherryRoad transform your technology to meet your future needs? Once we’ve answered that question, we can build a technology solution specifically for your company.

What are some potential roadblocks in a legacy app modernization?

Data conversion is among the biggest roadblock to implementations. It is especially critical with Cloud migrations.  You may, for instance, have compliance issues to consider. You may also have legacy systems to consider. They may have been in place for years and may not have the cleanest or best data. Plus, you may be working with an IT system that lacks a relational database where things have been validated. These challenges are why CherryRoad created its own solution for data conversion.

How can organizations stay current when it comes to software modernization?

Many organizations think they’re done once they go live with an implementation. As Cloud consultants, we see it all the time. Implementation, however, is only half the battle. The other is staying current with what’s happening with updates, patches, and so on. Companies like Oracle are always coming up with new functionality that impacts a system. So, companies must read the release notes that Oracle offers, envision how the new functionality will impact the system, and train employees on the new functionality if needed. That’s why CherryRoad stays in touch with our clients post-implementation and offer guidance.
