A
modernization strategy that involves moving compatible
applications to the cloud may not drive the high return on
investment (ROI) that organizations expect. An efficient
strategy would be to determine applications that are causing
high maintenance costs, then gain an understanding of
the root cause and determine if a transformation would
help bring down the costs associated with the application.
Today, organizations are starting to take the initiative by
accelerating their progression along an information-led
transformation. These changes are not isolated, but rather
interdependent and involve a transformation strategy that
incorporates modernization of platforms and technologies
with improvements of the portfolio through consolidation,
simplification and restructuring of the portfolio components.
