Solving legacy IT challenges with application modernization

Organizations face a multitude of concerns over their data, something that is central to their business processes. They want to know where their data is stored, who can access it, and when and by whom changes have been made. Additionally, different types of data require different levels of confidentiality—some are ultra confidential, while others can be seen by everyone.

Every IT application eventually reaches a point where it becomes a legacy application. This is due to technological advancements, organizational changes, or simply because the world is continuously changing. By the time you notice that your IT department is struggling to adapt to these changes, chances are you’re already suffering from technical debt: it becomes harder and harder to implement changes without reworking the whole application.

The consequences of this are often recognizable. Management of IT applications becomes increasingly costly, while their added value gradually declines. At the same time, it’s difficult to attract employees who want to work on legacy technology as this could hamper their career growth. Given their scarcity, these IT professionals become more expensive to hire, further diminishing the added value of these legacy applications.

The solution to these challenges is to modernize your legacy applications. This reduces the cost of managing the applications, increases their added value within the business, and provides a more conducive working environment for IT teams. As a result, your IT applications evolve from a burden to an enabler.
