Overview
A hospital's development team had noticed that its patient records system wasn’t compatible with all the security patches available. Though they could make some security updates, there were gaps. A few of those gaps led to data breaches that resulted in HIPAA violations and hefty fines. The team always made patient privacy a priority, so they decided it’s time to modernize their monolith.

Tour
1. Run a system analysis
The hospital's development team runs IBM Transformation Advisor data collector to analyze all its applications. It returns a report outlining dependencies, issues and estimated migration costs.
2. Automate easy updates
The team starts by looking at all of the apps categorized as "simple." They review the recommended plan and automate these migrations inside IBM Transformation Advisor.
3. Plan strategically
Looking at the "moderate" and "complex" apps, the team creates a migration plan based on the dependencies for each app, the value of the app to the business and the number of developer hours needed.
