Chapter 9

Conclusion: There’s no one-size-fits-all for software modernization

Modernizing an application landscape can be a daunting task. Finding out where to start, and what to do in order to get your IT back on track is complex and takes time. Vendors push certain strategies, such as cloud- migration, as the solution for every problem. Determining the right approach to take requires extensive expertise.

In order to overcome these challenges, a thorough assessment of current IT capabilities and shortcomings with regards to business needs is of crucial importance. This assessment needs to be done without prejudice and without steering towards certain solutions.

Once the initial assessment has shown where the biggest problems lie, and what approaches may be taken to solve them, we recommend using an agile approach to realizing the chosen solutions.
