Software Modernization Engineering

Will your legacy software continue to support your business growth?
Software modernization is a key element in planning for the future growth of your business.  As you look forward to expanding your business base, one of the most frequently
overlooked questions is “will your business software
support your planned growth?”  

Why is software modernization needed?

• Company-specific application, no off-the shelf software can replace
• Outdated and inefficient applications
• Legacy applications with unsupported technology (operating systems, device-specific interfaces
• Lack of hardware or software support
• Insecure or security-vulnerable applications

What can SME do for you?

• SME will use the right tools for your job— a “one-size fits all” simply doesn’t.
• Reduce your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
• Maintain your business rules
• Increase the lifespan of your mission-critical applications
• Reduce business risk by providing a timely, cost-effective and high-quality approach to modernization

Technology Insertion Planning Process

Leveraging the advantages of commercial technologies into today's complex systems brings both programmatic and technical challenges to the acxquisition office and the contractor.

These challenges include:

• Determining the optimal time to procure hardware for a system in development
• Establishing the qualti8ty of resources to be prcured in support of a development effort
• Ensuring that the system components are not obsolete at the time of initial system delivery
• Developing a plan to refine sparing requirments in the context of the shorter life cycle of commercial products
• Upgrading system mission performance with advances in technology to minimize cost

TIPP is a decision support application that:

• Provides the Program manager and/or Chief Engineer with the ability to analyze alternative approaches for system upgrades driven by
  • New mission needs
  • Obsolescence issues
  • Fleet inputs (gaps)
• Provides a convenient mechanism to
  
  • Document the current system baseline technologies
  • Project the evolution of those technologies over the lifecycle of the system
