How to turn application modernization into organizational development
In the coming years, a number of public IT applications will reach their end of life. Many older systems are already facing challenges in terms of security, compliance, and development speed.
The pressure to modernize or replace public applications is increasing - driven by both technological and geopolitical developments. The threat of serious cyberattacks, the need for robust infrastructure, and growing user expectations are all adding to the urgency.
To many, application modernization sounds like financial risk. But when approached correctly, it can lay the foundation for a wide range of benefits for your organization in terms of cost-efficiency, security, productivity, and citizen services.
