Key to achieving your business goals

Migrating applications to AWS is just the first step

Once your applications are in the cloud, you can take full advantage of cloud.

You can make your applications more efficient, cost effective and aligned to the needs of your business.

If you have a typical, 1990s-style two- or three-tier monolithic business application, your teams can utilize AWS features such as Lambda (serverless compute) to scale your application — or parts of it — up as needed.

For example, in the diagram, access to your applications flows through an API gateway that manages, routes and controls access; then, small, inexpensive software components handle simple tasks, like order creation and reporting. Orders in this example are stored in an inexpensive NoSQL database.

This is a simple example of how an application can be refactored to reduce costs and improve performance. But that's not all.

Modernizing Your IT Estate

Using the same example, the data from the Orders table could then be copied to an AWS RedShift data warehouse, joined or merged with data from (say) a CRM application and additionally with posts from social media.

Then, AI models could be applied to forecast demand, determine overall customer satisfaction and sentiment, and adjust manufacturing and supply chain priorities.

EPAM’s enterprise-grade AI orchestration platform, DIAL, helps organizations AI-enable such applications quickly and reliably.

EPAM has worked with many large and multinational customers to build and implement comprehensive modernization plans.

Using our assessments and models as a basis, we can decompose monolithic applications into containerized or serverless microservices, leading to improved flexibility, simpler management, stronger security and faster deployment.

Further, we modernize at your pace: Evolve methodically or transform for the most benefit, we can design the appropriate pathway for you.

The possibilities are endless.
