ISV Freedom: A Custom Software Modernization Framework
Decide which workflows to keep, connect, retire, or rebuild as original applications in your AWS environment.
ISV Freedom turns selected business requirements into original custom software. The engagement starts with the workflows and outcomes your team selects.
The assessment starts with business outcomes and current-state evidence. For each workflow, the team decides whether to keep it, integrate it, retire it, or implement an original custom application. Requirements, inputs, interfaces, responsibilities, and acceptance criteria are documented before design and development begin.
Four Decisions, Made Workflow by Workflow
Keep
Retain workflows that are differentiated, well controlled, or costly to change.
Integrate
Connect through supported APIs when the existing system remains the right system of record.
Retire
Remove redundant or low-value workflows after dependency, data-retention, and control review.
Build
Design original custom software where a focused workflow has a clear business case and manageable risk.
What We Need for a Useful Assessment
| Input | What the team validates |
|---|---|
| Business scope | Requirements, users, exceptions, service levels, and measurable outcomes |
| Project materials | Requirements, business data, documentation, schemas, exports, APIs, and integration details your team can provide |
| Controls | Identity, approvals, auditability, privacy, security, records, and regulatory obligations |
| Economics | Actual contracts, support, administration, infrastructure, migration, and operating costs |
| Delivery risk | Data quality, coexistence, testing, adoption, cutover, rollback, and ongoing support |
Build a Business Case You Can Use
Look beyond subscription pricing to implementation, integration, administration, support, migration, infrastructure, and change costs. The assessment uses your numbers, shows each assumption, and connects the investment to a specific workflow and measurable outcome.
Start with one high-value workflow and a customer-specific assessment.
