Migration moves workloads to the cloud; modernization improves them. Many organizations lift and shift systems to gain immediate flexibility, then modernize gradually for long-term performance. NTT DATA helps clients plan both together so that early migrations don’t create future rework. We evaluate business goals, data sensitivity and application complexity to decide which workloads need refactoring now and which can migrate as is. The goal is a disruption-free progression from migration to modernization.

Explore the four keys to successful Azure migration.

Each approach fits a different goal. Rehosting moves applications quickly with minimal change and is ideal for fast cost reduction. Replatforming updates components such as databases or middleware for better scalability. Refactoring redesigns code to exploit cloud-native features, including microservices and serverless computing. NTT DATA helps organizations choose based on business impact, not just technical ease. We often use a blended strategy: Quick wins through rehosting while refactoring critical systems for future innovation.
