6R’s Strategy of Our Application Modernization Services Australia
At Sunrise Technologies, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every application has unique challenges, dependencies, and business goals. That’s why we use our 6R’s Application Modernization Strategy—a proven framework to assess each application and define the most effective modernization path. This ensures faster transformation, reduced risks, and maximum ROI.
Rehosting (Lift & Shift)
We migrate applications to the cloud without altering code or functionality, providing a quick, low-risk path to modernization with minimal effort and cost.
Replatforming
With slight code adjustments, we move legacy applications onto modern platforms to improve scalability, performance, and integration—without a complete rebuild.
Rebuilding
When existing architectures limit innovation, we rebuild applications (or specific modules) from scratch, preserving business logic while integrating new features and advanced capabilities.
Refactoring
We optimize and restructure outdated code to improve efficiency, performance, and maintainability—without changing the application’s core functionality.
Rearchitecting
For applications requiring a complete transformation, we redesign architecture and infrastructure to embrace microservices, APIs, and cloud-native models that future-proof your business.
Replacing
When modernization isn’t cost-effective, we recommend replacing the legacy system with a new, custom-built application designed for today’s performance, compliance, and innovation demands.
Process We follow for Cloud, Legacy & Enterprise Application Modernization Services
At Sunrise Technologies, our process goes beyond “lift-and-shift.” We use future-ready frameworks, automation, and cloud-native principles to modernize legacy and enterprise systems in Australia with minimal risk and maximum ROI.

Frequently Asked Question
Yes. AI modules such as predictive diagnostics, patient monitoring, and automated reporting can be integrated into existing hospital systems without requiring a complete replacement. This helps improve patient outcomes while maintaining compliance with Australian healthcare regulations.
Absolutely. Modern AI layers can be connected to legacy applications using APIs and middleware. This allows businesses to extract data, run predictive models, and deliver real-time insights without the need for full system replacement.
Yes, for most industries in Australia. While modernization involves upfront costs, AI-driven automation, predictive analytics, and improved decision-making often lead to reduced operational expenses, better customer experience, and long-term ROI.
AI integration platforms use data normalization, middleware, and ETL pipelines to align legacy database formats with modern AI models. This ensures that even outdated systems can feed accurate, usable data to AI algorithms without disrupting workflows.
Legacy systems often cost Australian SMEs thousands annually in maintenance, downtime, and lost opportunities due to lack of scalability. Modernization with AI not only reduces these costs but also opens up growth opportunities with automation and real-time insights./p>
If your application struggles with performance, scalability, or integration but still has stable business logic, modernization (refactoring, replatforming, or containerization) may deliver more ROI than a costly rebuild. Our experts assess the application’s technical debt, business value, and future-readiness before recommending the right approach.
Yes. AI-powered code analyzers, automated testing tools, and intelligent migration engines can significantly reduce manual effort in modernization projects. At Sunrise, we leverage AI to automatically identify code inefficiencies, optimize migration paths, and even generate refactored code snippets, cutting down modernization timelines.
Cloud-native architecture allows applications to run in a scalable, containerized, microservices-driven environment, making them resilient and cost-efficient. It’s not just about hosting on the cloud—it’s about re-architecting for automation, elasticity, and DevOps-driven CI/CD pipelines.
We use phased migration strategies, containerization, and blue-green deployments to modernize applications in parallel with ongoing operations. This ensures continuous business availability while unlocking modernization benefits progressively.
Application modernization focuses on upgrading the code, architecture, and infrastructure, while data modernization revamps the data layer—covering storage, pipelines, and analytics. Together, they ensure applications can leverage real-time data, AI/ML models, and advanced analytics for smarter decision-making.
- Refactoring – Improving the code without altering functionality (e.g., cleaning technical debt).
- Re-architecting – Transforming the underlying architecture to adopt cloud-native, microservices, or AI-driven workflows.
AI can continuously monitor application health, detect anomalies, predict failures, and auto-scale resources based on traffic. This means your modernized apps don’t just run better—they self-optimize in real-time.
Absolutely. Outdated applications often lack compliance with APRA, ASIC, and global standards like GDPR or HIPAA. Modernization embeds regulatory compliance, advanced security, and audit-ready frameworks into your applications.
While upfront investment depends on the chosen modernization strategy (Rehost, Refactor, Replace, etc.), organizations typically see 30–50% reduction in IT costs, faster release cycles, and improved customer retention. ROI is amplified when AI and cloud-native frameworks are integrated.
By modernizing applications with API-first, microservices, and data-ready architectures, you create a foundation where AI agents, workflow automation, and predictive analytics can be seamlessly integrated into business operations.
