Accelerate application modernization with TCS and Google Cloud 

Overview

Cloud native is the way forward for modernization and growth.

In this era of digital disruption, enterprises are striving to improve business agility, drive innovation at scale, accelerate time to market, and build resilience and scalability to be more competitive. However, a key challenge arises from legacy technologies that are monolithic, unscalable, require manual efforts and involve lengthy application development cycles for releasing new products and services. Enterprises looking to overcome these challenges are turning to cloud-native application development and containerization to fuel growth, accelerate innovation, and find quick resolutions to customer concerns.

Solution

Enable faster application development without compromising on quality and security. 

TCS offers end-to-end services—from legacy application assessment to migration and modernization—to help you achieve purpose-led growth from your Google Cloud transformation initiatives. 

• Cloud strategy and assessment: We help develop a robust cloud adoption strategy starting with IT landscape discovery and maturity assessment. We leverage TCS’ Cloud Counsel for infrastructure and application assessment, and identification of migration patterns. Our pattern-based approach allows us to use a catalog-based pricing model for a simplified migration planning and accurate assessment of TCO.

• Migration: TCS uses a Machine First™, factory-based execution model to quickly migrate workloads to Google Cloud. It leverages TCS accelerators including Cloud Mason to build a robust foundation on Google Cloud using industry-specific blueprints; Cloud Mutagen to fast-track application code remediation for cloud migration and containerization; Zipped Agile for automated provisioning of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI-CD) pipelines and DevOps maturity assessment. 

• Modernization: TCS’ modernization approach is anchored on faster application development without compromising on quality and security. We focus on building business functionality that can instantaneously scale up and down to meet changing usage patterns, with the added benefits of reversibility and extensibility to multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud patterns. 

• API-fication: TCS offers full stack API management services using Apigee for API assessment and roadmap, architecture blueprint, foundation setup, factory-based API implementation, governance setup, and API reliability services. We partner with customers on their API journey from initiation to mobilization and evolution into API maturity. 

Benefits

Build an agile digital core to lead the future.

The benefits of TCS’ factory model are many. It accelerates application development, database design, various types of testing, monitoring, management, API development and life-cycle management for common cloud architecture and design patterns, resulting in:

• 40% reduction in development cycle time for containerized workload.

• 30% reduction in cost of quality. 

• Fast-tracked domain-driven microservice decomposition and design for specific industry verticals.

• Automated deployment of common architecture blueprints and CI-CD pipelines.
