Use Continuous Modernization to Optimize Legacy Applications

“In the 2024 Gartner® CIO and Technology Executive Survey, 47% of the respondents selected “integrate, innovate and modernize enterprise applications” as a focus for the next 12 months, making it the third highest priority overall.” 

With most enterprises having a sprawling IT estate of hundreds of applications — a natural result of operating in the ever-evolving world of technology — following a vendor-driven “rip-and-replace” roadmap can lead to high costs, business disruption and delays of critical innovation projects.  

Gartner recommends approaching legacy applications not as a problem to solve but as an asset to utilize in support of desired business capabilities. 

Access the Gartner “Use Continuous Modernization to Optimize Legacy Applications” report to learn:  

• 3 key stages of a continuous modernization process 

• How to identify, prioritize and remove friction points to optimize legacy applications

Innovation can’t wait, and neither can you.
