Application Cloud Enablement (ACE)

ACE provides the blueprint and services to accelerate your migration of legacy applications to the cloud.

Application Cloud Enablement (ACE) is CSC’s blueprint for accelerating the migration of legacy applications to the cloud. Composed of a suite of CSC services that span the shape-transform-manage lifecycle, ACE enables clients to quickly and economically benefit from the scale and elasticity of cloud computing. ACE and the ACE Factory:

• Accelerate the migration of legacy applications to the cloud
• Enhance your business agility by enabling the more rapid implementation of new and changing business requirements
• Reduce the cost of application maintenance by shifting applications to lower-cost platforms
• Reduce operational risk while improving application availability and performance
• Improve performance against business SLAs

Your Migration, Your Way

Every business is different. CSC Application Cloud Enablement is tailored to your situation, including the needs of your applications, your business goals and your existing experience with cloud computing. We can test and validate your legacy applications for cloud readiness, transform your applications to be cloud aware, and even create new applications to run natively in the cloud.

Afterwards, you can choose to run your cloud applications on either a public or private cloud and self manage your cloud application or have us host and manage your applications for you. CSC Application Cloud Enablement is a truly modular suite of services that gives you a custom outcome, but with all the consistency and efficiency of a turnkey, industrialized framework.

Shape, Transform, Manage

Major application modernizations are complex projects, and no two are identical. That’s why Application Cloud Enablement engagements follow CSC’s proven “Shape, Transform, Manage” approach.
