White Paper
Accelerate Innovation and Productivity with Application Modernization
Dell’s white paper recommends a phased, data-driven path to application modernization across multi-cloud: start with portfolio profiling (“7 Rs” for workload placement), then adopt DevSecOps, agile/CI-CD, containers and microservices, and progress via a walk-run-fly cloud journey that optimizes the path to production. A dedicated cloud onboarding team builds reusable pipelines, patterns, and XaaS services, while governance and executive oversight track ROI. Reported outcomes include faster releases (e.g., 14-day sprints), major cost and risk reduction, and productivity gains (often ~8×). A case example modernized 400+ apps in six months, boosting performance, reliability, and time-to-market.
