In unpredictable times, agility becomes even more important than ever. New opportunities arise, competitors appear out of nowhere, and old, stable supply chains and markets change in unprecedented ways. Businesses need to react — or even better, anticipate these changes and take action to gain advantage, meet customers’ evolving needs in the best possible way, and grow profits.
For businesses striving for agility and success, an enterprise architecture can serve as either the springboard for innovation or as the tarpit that keeps product development and operations stuck in a slow-motion struggle for survival.
If your business is being held back by its legacy IT investments and enterprise architecture, the obvious answer is legacy modernization: replacing old code running on old platforms with fast, efficient software that takes advantage of scalable, cloud-native technologies and modern integration techniques.
But few businesses can afford to stop operations, replace legacy applications with faster and more flexible cloud applications and services, and push the restart button on sales. Instead, most businesses today are looking for some way to adopt what Gartner calls a “bi-modal strategy.” In this approach, a business keeps profitable operations running in their traditional mode on legacy applications, while starting new projects and a few strategic modernization projects in a different mode — namely, running the latest cloud technology that offers all the advantages of faster time-to-market, reduced costs, and improved scalability.
Sounds smart. But businesses still face important questions about what to modernize, where to start, and how to make any modernization project as fast, efficient, and predictable as possible.
