OVERVIEW
The digital world has offered large businesses a chance to operate in a more dynamic environment, but they are often held back by legacy IT systems. Enterprises worldwide have a wealth of application logic and capabilities that are core business assets, with time-tested industrial strength. However, the digital economy has unleashed an era of innovation, driven by consumerization and relentless disruption with the advent of niche players and powerhouses in most verticals.
For businesses to thrive today, it is imperative for them to drive change with application modernization. This results in significantly higher agility, often inhibited by legacy systems. Some of the key challenges with legacy systems are:
- High cost of ownership coupled with the demographic reality of a diminishing talent availability in legacy technologies
- Need for customer centricity and the necessity to seamlessly deliver multi-channel capabilities
- Regulatory compliance
- Increased system elasticity to enable growth and leverage pay per consumption
- Significantly enabled business agility
