• Conduct a comprehensive inventory of all 16 legacy applications, including their current state, functionality, and dependencies. • Identify and document the location, hosting environment, and infrastructure supporting each application. • Gather and analyze user feedback, workflows, and usage patterns by interviewing key stakeholders and observing application usage. • Map out and document the business processes supported by each application, identifying both upstream and downstream dependencies. • Assess the business value, criticality, and risks associated with each application, particularly in relation to security vulnerabilities and potential failures. • Evaluate and prioritize applications based on usage frequency, business impact, technical debt, and security risks. • Develop a strategic roadmap for application modernization, considering factors like resource availability, budget constraints, and potential integration with existing systems. • Collaborate with IT teams and management to explore opportunities for integrating legacy functions into more mature systems, reducing the need to rebuild applications from scratch. • Identify and engage with key stakeholders, including IT staff, end-users, and departmental leadership, to gather requirements and ensure alignment with business goals. • Create detailed documentation of each application, including technical specifications, user guides, and process flows, to ensure knowledge retention as staff retire or transition. • Prepare and present regular reports on the progress of the inventory, assessment, and modernization efforts to stakeholders and management. • Identify and assess risks associated with maintaining legacy applications, particularly those related to security vulnerabilities, staff turnover, and system failures. • Assist in the development of project plans, including timelines, milestones, and resource allocation for the modernization program.
