A Novel Approach to Reuse Custom Enterprise Software Extensions for Cloud Migration

Enterprise Software has been the backbone for running businesses since last many decades now. It's a common practice for the consumers to enhance these software as per their specific business needs. In general software development terminology, such enhancements are called custom extensions of the software. Depending upon the specific business needs, the magnitude of custom extension may vary from customer to customer. With the advent of cloud computing and digital transformation, organizations are paving their path towards cloud in all sectors. This is also applicable for organizations developing and consuming enterprise software. Although cloud computing brings a lot of value to the software eco-system, however it also presents a challenge towards disruption in businesses where the existing custom extensions cannot be reused while moving to cloud. In this paper, we present a novel approach to automatically enable custom extensions from an old On-premise installed Enterprise software to new version of the software hosted on a Cloud Platform.
