The Challenge: Fragmented Ownership Meets Complex Legacy Sprawl

Large enterprises often carry the burden of a sprawling footprint of applications residing on legacy Microsoft server-based platforms, many of which remain business-critical and deeply embedded in operational workflows. These systems are rarely isolated:

  • They connect with modern cloud services, legacy and new databases, and critical internal services
  • Multiple incumbent service providers manage slices of the estate — e.g., infrastructure, applications, databases — each bound by limited domain responsibilities
  • No single provider has the full picture, and no one owns the full application-to-infrastructure map

The Cost of Uncertainty

This fragmented insight leads to:

  • Redundant systems being migrated unnecessarily, inflating time and cost
  • Business-critical interdependencies being missed, causing outages or project delays
  • Inflated resource estimates due to “unknowns” being treated as “must-migrate”

The Zaptz Breakthrough: Automated Forensic Blueprinting

Zaptz Ezysnap bypasses every manual bottleneck and organizational constraint by delivering a forensic, fully automated blueprint of the live environment — with ZERO input from:

  • Application owners
  • Incumbent infrastructure, app, or database providers

It performs deep telemetry extraction, including:

  • Executables, DLLs, services, ports, configs, scheduled tasks
  • Registry paths, hardcoded links, database connection strings
  • OS-to-app layer interactions and dependency chains

It does this without agents, source media, or credentials beyond access to the OS itself — even on legacy systems.

The Impact: Quantified, Precise, Actionable

From the Ezysnap output, Zaptz delivers:

  • A clear inventory of what is running — down to the forensic level
  • A map of interdependencies and usage patterns
  • Identification of truly redundant systems, slashing migration scope and cost
  • A Modernization Blueprint that defines the exact set of workloads to migrate, in what order, and how

Guaranteed Modernization Outcomes

Zaptz not only assesses — it also executes modernization. Using the captured Ezysnap blueprint, workloads can be:

  • Modernized without reinstallers or code
  • Delivered via Windows 11 AVD, cloud-native platforms, or modern VMs
  • Guaranteed to reflect the exact current state — ensuring functional equivalence

This is not speculative modernization. It is forensic replication and rehosting, governed by hard data.

Partner-Enabled Delivery

Zaptz is not a “rip and replace” vendor. The technology and methodology can be:

  • Adopted by existing service providers — regardless of domain
  • Delivered via training, supported deployment, or full Zaptz-led transformation
  • Integrated into multi-provider delivery environments, empowering incumbents to amplify their value


Conclusion: From Guesswork to Guarantees

Where others rely on interviews, outdated diagrams, and cross-team coordination, Zaptz relies on facts — captured directly, analyzed at scale, and used to drive certainty.

Zaptz Ezysnap turns the unknown into the knowable.

It turns friction into flow.

And it turns legacy into lasting value — with no friction, no guesswork, and no dependence on those who can’t or won’t provide the answers.
