Modernization with Azure Cloud
Give your applications, ERPs and systems a boost of power by modernizing them. Your business processes are dependent on a large IT infrastructure which needs a constant upgrade. However, this could be taxing for your human, financial and other resources. Upgrading your IT ecosystem to the Cloud or to the next level of management will give a boost to your organizations’ performance and keep your customers happy for quick and efficient services.
Building entirely new systems or applications or investing heavily in on-premise infrastructure may not be feasible. Modern businesses require extremely agile tools to cope up with market demands. Automation, cloud computing, and AI, NLP, and ML tools are just a few of the ways to transform your organization digitally. It takes a certain level of expertise to carry out this kind of a transition in order to obtain its full benefits.
While modernization is inevitable, it need not be a big-bang change. CloudLeaf’s expertise in Azure services, tools, and technologies enable us to create the perfect modernization roadmap suitable to your organization. We offer end-to-end modernization, starting from assessment to monitoring, managed services and on-going support.
Application Modernization with Azure

Modernizing applications accelerates innovation. It reduces time to market for new products and services as it streamlines the development process. It lowers the time spent on maintaining on-premise applications. As Cloud-based applications use pay-per-use resources, they are more cost effective. They are also more scalable as per demand. Modernization also enhances the security of workloads with built-in security capabilities.

Mainframe Modernization with Azure Cloud
Mainframes have been your applications’ bloodline for decades. They support your mission-critical applications and keep your processing running smoothly. But like every component, mainframes too need upgrades to keep up with the complex functionalities of modern business applications. Azure has tools to reduce the dependence on mainframes in order to transform your core infrastructure one step at a time.
Why modernize mainframes?
- Mainframes require specialist developers. Changes are slow and expensive.
- Specialist mainframe developers are decreasing in number as it depends on a legacy coding language.
