Survey finds on average, IT managers report at least three to four measurable improvements from IT modernization efforts.
„Application modernization“ has been an endeavor on IT’s overflowing work palette for decades now. Now, a recent survey suggests that it is finally making inroads into amping up companies‘ digital capabilities. The recent survey of 400 IT leaders, commissioned by Insight and conducted by IDG, finds „modernization efforts to-date are already generating measurable improvements in service quality, user experience, and cost-efficiency,“ the survey’s authors state. So what is „modernization“ in a 2022 context? Just few years back, it meant pulling away from mainframes and midrange-class servers to Windows and Linux (and Unix). Then it became moving from Windows/Linux server collections to cloud-based services. And now? It means continuing embrace of wholesale digital transformation for the business as a whole, built upon „As-a-Service“ environments that provide capabilities ranging from artificial intelligence to IoT data management.
