Application Modernization is the hottest buzzword in the IT world today. For many, it means the migration and transformation of an old application to a modern platform and emerging technologies. With Digital Experience solutions, means much more. Application Modernization is about taking what consumers expect from cutting edge mobile experiences, websites and applications – Slick User Experience, Modern Workflow, Mobile Support, Social and Cloud, and applying it to the enterprise space. This session will look at these five areas and apply them to WebSphere Portal and the IBM Digital Experience solutions. Examples will highlight how and why focusing each of these areas can have a positive impact and upside inside your organization and recommendations on how to apply Application Modernization.

They use the apps we tell them.

You're wrong.
More than 50% of business users bypass internal
applications for public tools.

Too slow
Too restrictive

• Fast and Easy to Integrate existing application
– No real development required
– Just command line push and it works
• Flexible
– Actually in page, not sandboxed, allows Portlet to communicate with
Portal and other portlets on page
– Has access to other content from other services or in WCM and User
Preferences and context

• Integrates existing content without moving it and allows
authoring and storage to stay where they are.
• Can update data or manipulate how it’s presented to the end
user
• Allows SharePoint and WCM data to stay in the same place and
allows for analysis of the data in a single view
