How is managing a massive cloud-native transformation effort different than the "application modernization factories" that have been around for years? Transforming or modernizing a portfolio consisting of hundreds of existing (aka, “brownfield”) applications is an enormous undertaking that requires a highly talented, cross-functional team.
Attend this webinar with Pivotal, CGI, and 451 Research’s Carl Brooks to learn about the nuts and bolts of managing cloud-native application transformation at scale. After an overview from 451 Research, we’ll dive deep on the roles, tools, and processes required to create a well-run, cloud-native application transformation.
Join us to hear how to replicate this success in your own organization!

3. Wait, I thought digital
transformation was all
about NEW cloud-
native applications?
4. Legacy Isn’t a
Four-Letter Word
• Tons of value in legacy applications
• Legacy app portfolios are complex
• Software releases are risky, infrequent
• Can’t win in today’s market with
traditional approach

Q. Why do you plan to spend more with [highest spend vendor] in 2017? Please select all that apply. (Respondents Planning on Spending
More in 2017 with the Vendor They Spent the Most on in 2016) n=161

New Initiatives, Cloud Migration Fuel Increased
Spending with Primary Providers
7
§ 59% of organizations reported plans to increase
spending with the provider/vendor currently
receiving the largest share of their organizations’
overall cloud infrastructure services spending;
only 9% anticipated to decrease spending with
their primary provider.
§ Competitiveness of their primary vendors’
products/services (compared to other vendors’)
and increased performance requirements were
more prominent drivers for organizations with
10,000 or more employees and those in the
government/education sector.
§ Price/value considerations and service providers’
ability to keep pace with more complex IT needs
are critical components of the incremental
purchasing decisions of large enterprise and
government/education organizations.

Q2a. Do you anticipate this will change in the next 2-3 years?
N=500
21. More software released this quarter than
last quarter
Release management efficiency: Lower
lead and process time, fewer steps and
handoffs
Improved operational metrics for
transitioned apps: MTTR, MTBD, support
tickets, etc.
Improved security: Faster patching, zero
downtime upgrades, etc.
Infrastructure usage: Higher density
compute, auto-scaling and licensing
reductions

26. Three work tracks
1. App replatforming
2. Process transformation
3. Pattern cookbook
Automate testing
Continuous integration
Replatforming
Make the minimal testable changes to each application required to run it on PCF
27. Modernization
Make testable changes to applications to make them run well on PCF, aiming for
15-Factor compliance. Break monoliths into microservices.
