Methods and approaches for modernising applications
The app modernisation process should follow steps and strategies that align with a framework of organisational objectives. For instance, the Azure Well-Architected Framework has five architectural pillars that aim at achieving organisational goals—these can also apply to app modernisation:
- Reliability: how a system can handle failures and work again
- Security: keeping applications and data safe from attacks
- Cost optimisation: reducing costs while delivering more value
- Operational excellence: operations processes that make a system run well in production
- Performance efficiency: how a system can change with different loads

Microsoft Azure Application Modernisation FAQs
Azure App Modernisation is the process of updating and transforming existing applications to leverage the full capabilities of Microsoft Azure’s cloud platform. This involves refactoring, rearchitecting, or rebuilding applications to take advantage of modern cloud-native services, technologies, and practices.
Modernising applications involves updating legacy systems to leverage new technologies, architectures, and practices. This process is critical for businesses to stay competitive, improve efficiency, and meet evolving customer demands. App modernisation addresses technical debt, enhances performance, and ensures that applications can scale and adapt to future requirements.
Application modernisation has three main steps – plan, implement, and operate:
- Planning means setting a modernisation strategy
- Implementation requires skill-building and app modernisation
- Operations involves continuous governance, management, and optimisation
