Maintaining existing systems still takes up the majority of IT budgets. It’s time for companies to address the challenge of making their application portfolio future ready for the digital era.
The goal? Evaluate the portfolio, build a business case and modernize those applications to generate quick business results with fewer risks.

Global retailer migrates UNIX to Linux at 8,000 locations
Accenture recently helped a global retailer reduce its software licensing cost by moving it off proprietary software to an open source equivalent, saving approximately $20 million annually. Our UNIX to Linux (U2L) migration also helped save on hardware costs for more than 10,000 stores. The company retired approximately 800 applications, reducing the application footprint by 30 percent. The global retailer is positioned to easily migrate to elastic cloud options in the future.
Global energy company migrates financial applications
Accenture helped this global energy company improve business continuity and reduce risks by enhancing its disaster recovery capability. By migrating the company’s applications and data to a new Windows environment running Micro Focus Enterprise Suite, Accenture enabled online access to finance applications, including approximately 100 TB of data. This allowed the company’s legal team to generate reports within a shorter timeframe. A source code management system was also provided along with test documentation to enable ongoing application support and testing.
