Major Drivers for Legacy Modernization
High Costs of maintaining and enhancing
Unmitigated risk of unsupported software
Higher time to market
Inflexible and Closed Architecture that hinders web enabling and integration
Limited options of Hardware and Software
Lack of skilled resources
Challenges Faced by Organizations using Legacy / Progress Applications

…What Next?
– Most organizations spend 70-80% * of IT budget in maintenance of Legacy applications
– Only 20-30% * remaining for new business demand and innovation
– Challenges in Legacy maintenance allows less saving for new innovations
– The Cycle needs to be broken via “Legacy Modernization”
Modernization is the way forward to overcome- ‘The Legacy Crisis’
