I recently attended a technology conference where I listened to attendees grumble about outdated technology, and apps and software products that just didn’t deliver when it comes to performance, scalability and navigation on smart phones and other portable devices. These same people said that they could not justify the cost or time required to complete a software re-engineering project.
If your organization has invested in a software application and that application is showing its age, you need to seriously consider software reengineering. While many companies think that application modernization services will take too long and cost too much money, you must consider the alternative. Business users and the IT team demand applications that are easy to maintain, easy-to-use and suitable for mobile devices. Every team member expects to use a software application that will make life easier (not an application that will frustrate them and handcuff them or prevent them from doing the best job possible, in a timely fashion).
You have invested a ton of money in your software and applications and now you (and your customers) have outgrown them. Maybe they aren’t mobile-friendly. Maybe they aren’t user friendly. Maybe they are just a disaster and they don’t integrate with any other apps or solutions so you are dealing with a bunch of silos and restricted environments.
Unless you have been living on another planet for the past few years, you know that the Cloud is the big thing. As businesses move from structured, restrictive data storage to the Cloud, they realize the benefits in the area of productivity, flexibility and cost.
