Application modernization is a critical initiative for future-proofing infrastructure, scaling AI-driven services, and driving business value. While 95% of IT leaders see modernization as essential, projects often face significant hurdles, including high costs, complexity, and slow time-to-market. This guide outlines five key considerations for a successful application modernization strategy that shortens time-to-value.
It explores the three primary modernization routes—rehosting, replatforming, and refactoring—and provides a framework for deciding which path is most strategic for different applications based on business needs, architecture, and required skill sets.
Key takeaways include the importance of selecting a strategic cloud partner, using modernization as an opportunity to consolidate vendors and tooling, and leveraging AI and automation to refactor apps more efficiently. Ultimately, choosing the right partner and approach enables organizations to innovate faster, reduce costs, enhance security, and unlock the full potential of their application portfolio.
