The routes to digital transformation are countless and each enterprise’s plan is based on its specific strategic priorities. Many organizations take a “rip and replace” approach and choose to start building new systems from the ground up. However, in many instances, this shouldn’t be the case. Completely scrapping legacy technology and starting over could be an unnecessarily long, risky, and costly process. Working on developing a hybrid eco-system where legacy applications are modernized and allowed to co-exist with modern ones in a fully integrated and optimized environment is a more efficient approach to digital transformation. We delve into why this is the case in more detail in this article.
Regardless of geographic location or sector, digital transformation is high on the list of every corporation’s top priorities. A common mistake enterprises tend to make, however, is approaching it as a one-off project they need to finish by a set deadline. If they want to succeed in their digital transformation efforts, instead, they need to see it as a process that shouldn’t end. Digital transformation is a journey, not a destination and even when maturity across all dimensions is achieved, enterprises will need to adopt a mindset that involves continuous revisions and rapid response to change.
