Cloud Native

The future of application architecture and development

Why should you think about Cloud Native?

In an increasingly competitive world, it is crucial to consider adopting cloud native technologies. Cloud Native offers a variety of benefits, including:

• Competitive advantage: Cloud Native allows companies to move faster to market and differentiate themselves from the competition.
• Time-to-Market: By utilising Cloud Native technologies, products and services can be developed, tested and deployed faster.
• Scalability: Cloud Native applications can easily scale to adapt to the needs of the business, whether it’s peak loads or growing user numbers.
• Agility: The agility to respond quickly to changes and implement new features is a key benefit of cloud native applications.
• Efficiency**: By using cloud resources, companies can optimise their IT infrastructure and work more efficiently.
• Fast innovation: Cloud Native enables companies to drive innovation faster and test new ideas.
• Cost reduction: By avoiding investment in physical infrastructure and optimising resource usage, companies can reduce their costs.
• Compliance & Security: Cloud Native applications often offer enhanced security features and help organisations meet compliance requirements.

When should you think about cloud native software solutions?

There are various scenarios in which the integration of cloud native technologies is particularly beneficial. Firstly, legal requirements for product liability and safety are an important aspect where switching to cloud native technologies can help to comply with regulations and ensure the safety of products. In addition, with changes in rules and legislation, it is crucial to remain flexible and be able to respond quickly to new requirements, which is supported by the use of cloud native technologies.

The digitalisation of processes is becoming increasingly important in order to work more efficiently and remain competitive, and cloud native technologies can make an important contribution here.
They also enable efficiency gains in operational processes and support the predictive control of these processes. As an important component of Industry 4.0 strategies, cloud native technologies help companies to prepare for the future. In addition, the automation of data streams can improve efficiency and reduce human error, which is also made possible by the use of cloud native technologies.

How do we work on your applications?

From the challenge to the software solution

We understand the complexity of your business processes and the importance of effective data handling. With our domain expertise, we conduct joint workshops to identify the challenges in your processes and data handling.

Our methodological expertise covers the entire process, from problem identification to solution development and provision as well as ongoing support. We moderate and advise you along the way to ensure that your requirements are met and that the solution fits your organisation perfectly.

Through incremental solution delivery, we focus on agile software development to provide you with tangible added value as quickly as possible. In small increments, we work with you to develop solutions that can be flexibly adapted to new requirements and create space for shared learning.

With our DevOps approach, we take responsibility for the software solution and keep it up to date together with you. We use proven methods from design thinking, agile frameworks and our many years of experience in software development and the operation of solutions in accordance with ITIL standards to ensure that your solution not only works efficiently, but is also successful in the long term.

Successful with your business applications: SPIRIT/21 8R Model

• Retain (continued operation): Keeping the application on the current environment
• Retire (decommission): The application is not strategically needed. Therefore, clean up the data, the application and the infrastructure.
• Rebuild (new development): New development of an application from scratch, using the latest technology
• Re-architect: Major change to the architecture to adapt to the latest technology.
• Rehost (host change): Application, data and server with ‘lift & shift’ to the new target environment.
• Replatform (platform change): Application and data are lifted to a different technical platform. The architecture remains unchanged.
• Repurchase (new purchase): The application is replaced by an application from the software market.
• Refactor (redesign / optimisation): The application is redesigned and optimised internally.
