Application Modernisation Enablement - HANDD Business Solutions

Deployments

A Global Pharmaceutical Company needed data classified so it could be protected using downstream technologies such as DLP and Data Governance.

We introduced a system that injected metadata tags into emails and documents to enable DLP to stop sensitive classified content from leaving the building and raise user awareness with clear visual markers on documents.

Global Pharmaceutical Company

A Government charity organisation wanted to classify their data and understand where that classified data was stored and who had access to it.

HANDD deployed Data Classification and Data Governance to work in tandem. By classifying their data the organisation was able to apply sensitivity whilst a Data Governance solution meant that using metadata tags they could see who was accessing sensitive content and where it was stored.

A Government Charity

A Global Venture Capital Company was experiencing restrained business operations because sensitive IR communications lacked protection beyond the organisation, leading to loss of visibility and control over files shared externally with LPs. With a DRM solution in place, the customer was able to maintain control over their data with dynamic data protection and access controls. The sensitive data was secured automatically with a full audit trail provided. This protection and frictionless experience complemented existing workflows.

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.

Application Modernisation Enablement

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.
