Application Modernisation Enablement - HANDD Business Solutions

Deployments

A Global Bank needed needed security and a rigid access control policy for their highly sensitive documents. Existing VDI to support call centres was costly and caused customer support issues and they needed to provide on-demand secure document access for thousands of users in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. A DRM solution eliminated the need for VDI, saving cost and optimising call centre agent productivity whilst protecting customer information. Secure and exclusive access to highly sensitive documents was initiated, with detailed audit logs, providing exceptional visibility and tracking of sensitive, unstructured data.

Global Bank

A large enterprise organisation required a Vulnerability Management solution to integrate with their existing SIEM solution, providing intelligence for security and compliance reporting.

With the integration of a vulnerability feed our client was able to provide the required intelligence to the SIEM tool and provide valuable reporting to business heads.

Large Enterprise Organisation

A Global manufacturing organisation asked HANDD to help with their MFT project. After careful consideration and to take advantage of HANDD’s expertise in MFT they also opted for our top Managed Service package.

The organisation wanted business support with an agreed Service Level Agreement for one fixed fee for their MFT requirements whilst ensuring resilience for future expansion.

Global Manufacturing Organisation

Many organisations still depend on legacy Windows applications and specialised software that cannot easily be rewritten. Application modernisation is about preserving business logic while moving to supported platforms and cloud infrastructure so applications remain secure, maintainable and compliant.

Introduction

Modernisation approaches include rehosting, encapsulation/packaging, containerisation, and selective refactoring. The objective is to remove reliance on unsupported operating systems, reduce technical debt and make apps manageable in modern operational models.
